This week signifies a significant shift on the Billboard Hot 100, as 49 holiday-themed songs exit the charts. With the departure of these holiday tracks, the stage is now set for other artists to reclaim their spots.

Major Movements on the Hot 100

Ella Langley: “Choosin’ Texas” jumps from No. 48 to No. 5.
Taylor Swift: “The Fate of Ophelia” secures a ninth week at No. 1.
HUNTR/X: “Golden” climbs back to No. 2.
Alex Warren: “Ordinary” re-enters the chart at No. 3.
Pooh Shiesty: Moves up to No. 12 with “FDO.”
RAYE: Soars to No. 13 with “Where Is My Husband!”

This chart reset has allowed older hits to re-emerge. A total of 34 songs that previously appeared on the Hot 100 have made their comeback. Among these is Djo’s “End of Beginning,” which has reentered at No. 16. Djo, led by actor Joe Keery of *Stranger Things*, benefits from renewed interest following the show’s final season.

Current Trends in Album Sales

The Billboard 200 also reflects a similar trend. Post-holiday, the chart shows a notable absence of holiday albums. Only three new albums have recently been released, making way for classic hits to dominate.

Taylor Swift: Dominates with 10 albums in the top 200, including “The Life of a Showgirl” at No. 1 for the 12th nonconsecutive week.
Morgan Wallen: Features two albums in the top 10.
Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours: Remains popular as the 15th most popular album, despite its release over 50 years ago.

The chart data reflects the period from December 26 to January 1. Interestingly, while holiday singles have left the Hot 100, seven holiday albums remain on the Billboard 200, including Bing Crosby’s “Ultimate Christmas” at No. 41.

Noteworthy Achievements in Singles

Taylor Swift’s strategic marketing has resulted in continued success for “The Fate of Ophelia.” By selling additional physical copies, she has achieved the longest No. 1 streak of her career. In addition, Olivia Dean has gained traction with multiple songs on the chart, including “Man I Need,” returning to a peak position of No. 4.

The current state of the charts showcases a blend of classic hits and fresh contenders, reflecting the evolving landscape of the music industry post-holidays.
