Billboard’s Hot Trending charts, powered by Twitter and sponsored by Xfinity Mobile, track global music-related trends and conversations in real-time across Twitter, viewable over either the last 24 hours or past seven days. A weekly, 20-position version of the chart, covering activity from Friday through Thursday of each week, posts alongside Billboard’s other weekly charts on Billboard.com each Tuesday.
“Dreamers,” recorded for the international soccer tournament held this year in Qatar, premiered Nov. 20, the day of the World Cup’s kickoff. The BTS member performed the tune during the opening ceremonies that day.
It’s Jung Kook’s first solo No. 1 on the weekly Hot Trending Songs chart; he previously rose as high as No. 2 with “Stay Alive” in February.
“Dreamers” concurrently starts at Nos. 4 and 9 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and Billboard Global 200 charts, respectively, and also crowns the U.S.-based Digital Song Sales list.
Jung Kook is followed on Hot Trending Songs by Red Velvet, whose “Birthday” bows at No. 2. The song debuts thanks to activity prior to its release (the group’s EP The ReVe Festival 2022 – Birthday arrived Nov. 28, while the latest chart covers data from Nov. 18-24), as fans discussed the song and the EP’s promotional materials.
Two tracks from BIBI, “BIBI Vengeance” and “JOTTO,” rank at Nos. 3 and 5, respectively, on Hot Trending Songs following the Nov. 18 release of her album Lowlife Princess: Noir. The songs sandwich Rammstein’s “Adieu,” which appears at No. 4. The veteran rockers premiered a video Nov. 24 for the song from the group’s album Zeit, released in April.

Taylor Swift tallies a record-extending 55th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart (dated Dec. 3), continuing her run as the top musical act in the U.S.
Swift leads thanks to the continued success of her album Midnights, which logs a fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 177,000 equivalent album units earned Nov. 18-24, according to Luminate. The set soared in atop the Nov. 5 chart with 1.578 million units, the largest one-week total since the opening frame of Adele’s 25 in December 2015 (3.482 million).

Swift scores nine albums on the latest Billboard 200, the most among all acts. After Midnights, she appears with Folklore (No. 20), Red (Taylor’s Version) (No. 21), Lover (No. 29), 1989 (No. 41), Evermore (No. 42), reputation (No. 67), Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (No. 69) and Speak Now (No. 136).
Swift also charts all 13 songs from the standard edition of Midnights‘ on the Billboard Hot 100, led by “Anti-Hero,” which records a fifth week at No. 1. (The seven additional tracks from the album’s “3am Edition” all previously reached the list.)
Here’s a recap of Swift’s entries on the latest, Dec. 3-dated Hot 100:
Rank, Title:No. 1, “Anti-Hero”No. 26, “Lavender Haze”No. 50, “Bejeweled”No. 52, “Midnight Rain”No. 58, “Maroon”No. 65, “Karma”No. 67, “You’re On Your Own, Kid”No. 69, “Snow on the Beach,” feat. Lana Del ReyNo. 73, “Vigilante Shit”No. 78, “Question…?”No. 84, “Mastermind”No. 89, “Labyrinth”No. 92, “Sweet Nothing”
Swift has now spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Artist 100 in 2022, the third-most after Bad Bunny (eight) and The Weeknd (six).
Rounding out the top five of the Artist 100, Drake holds at No. 2, Morgan Wallen rises 4-3, 21 Savage dips 3-4 and Harry Styles holds at No. 5.
Plus, Michael Jackson re-enters the Artist 100 at No. 10, reaching the top 10 for the first time (since the chart started in 2014), thanks to a new 40th anniversary reissue of his classic LP Thriller. The album vaults 115-7 on the Billboard 200 (37,000 units, up 283%), returning to the top 10 for the first time since its initial chart run. The set tallied 37 weeks at No. 1 in 1983-84, the longest reign for an album by a single artist and second overall only to the West Side Story soundtrack (54 weeks in 1962-63).
The Artist 100 measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay and streaming to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.
Backstreet Boys’ remake of Wham!’s “Last Christmas” dashes to No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart (dated Dec. 3, reflecting plays in the Nov. 21-27 tracking week, according to Luminate).
The ever-youthful boy band notches its third AC No. 1 and first since its pop classic “I Want It That Way” reigned for 10 weeks beginning in July 1999. The act first led with “I’ll Never Break Your Heart” for seven weeks starting in October 1998.
Backstreet Boys’ triumphant return to the AC summit grants them the record for the longest break between No. 1s among groups: a week shy of exactly 23 years since the last frame on top for “I Want It That Way.” Among all acts, only Elton John has waited longer between time at No. 1 (23 years, 11 months and a week between “Something About the Way You Look Tonight” in 1998 and “Merry Christmas,” with Ed Sheeran, last holiday season). Among groups, Backstreet Boys pass the Eagles (a week short of 20 years between “Best of My Love” in 1975 and “Love Will Keep Us Alive” in 1995).
Backstreet Boys’ update of “Last Christmas” is from their first holiday LP, A Very Backstreet Christmas, which launched at No. 1 on the Top Holiday Albums chart in October. Another song from the set, “Christmas in New York,” rises to a new No. 19 AC high.
Released in 1984, Wham!’s “Last Christmas” — written and produced by George Michael — re-enters the all-genre, multi-metric Billboard Hot 100 at No. 23. The song hit the top 10 for the first time in the 2020 holiday season and reached a No. 7 best last season. On the Holiday 100, the carol ranks at No. 6 as the survey returns.
With the original receiving strong airplay, and streams, each holiday season – Wham’s version ranks at No. 5 on the Dec. 3-dated Holiday Airplay list with 19.8 million audience impressions – charted covers of “Last Christmas” have been rare, although all by high-profile acts.
Here’s a recap of remakes of “Last Christmas” on individual-format Billboard airplay charts:
Backstreet Boys, Adult Contemporary, No. 1 (one week to-date), 2022
Ariana Grande, Adult Contemporary, No. 26, 2013
Glee Cast, Adult Contemporary, No. 27, 2009
Taylor Swift, Country Airplay, No. 28, 2007
(Grande’s version also hit No. 1 in 2013 on Holiday Digital Song Sales, where covers have additionally charted, joining the Glee Cast’s and Swift’s, by Carly Rae Jepsen, Gwen Stefani and Meghan Trainor.)
Meanwhile, “Last Christmas” is the 28th holiday No. 1 on the AC chart since 2000, around the time that most stations in the format began playing seasonal songs heavily, or 24/7, between Thanksgiving and Christmas each year.
Here’s an updated recap of all the holiday songs that have hung atop the AC chart’s highest bough:

Dolly Parton achieves her 48th top 10 on Billboard‘s Top Country Albums chart (dated Dec. 3) as Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection enters at No. 4. In the tracking week ending Nov. 24, the set — released Nov. 18 — earned 19,000 equivalent album units, with 15,000 in album sales, according to Luminate.
The 23-track album includes songs released between 1971 and 2019, including 10 No. 1s on the Hot Country Songs chart in 1974-89, from “Jolene” to “Why’d You Come in Here Lookin’ Like That.” Among those leaders are her two No. 1s on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100: “9 to 5” (1981) and “Islands in the Stream,” with Kenny Rogers (1983).
The newest cut is “Faith,” Parton’s collaboration with Swedish DJ/production duo Galantis and featuring Dutch vocalist Mr. Probz. The track debuted atop Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales in November 2019, giving Parton her first No. 1 in the genre, and topped Dance/Mix Show Airplay that December.
Parton extends her record for the most Top Country Albums top 10s among women, pushing six ahead of Loretta Lynn’s 42. Parton also remains the only woman with top 10s in every decade since the list began in January 1964. Her top 10 totals by decade: 1960s – four; ’70s – 18; ’80s – 11; ’90s – five; 2000s – three; ’10s – four; and ’20s – three.
Parton has netted eight Top Country Albums No. 1s, most recently A Holly Dolly Christmas, which bowed on top in October 2020. In between that set and her latest, Run, Rose, Run debuted at its No. 4 best this March.
Parton boasts the second-most Top Country Albums top 10s among all artists, after Willie Nelson (the only other act with top 10s in seven decades), with 53. She first reached the tier with her second entry, Just Between You and Me, with Porter Wagoner (No. 8 peak, 1968).
More ‘Proof’ of a Hit
Morgan Wallen’s “You Proof” rebounds from No. 2 for a sixth week atop Country Airplay (26.6 million audience impressions, down 7%). The song, Wallen’s seventh leader on the list (dating its first week on top on the Oct. 15 chart), ties for the longest reign of the 2020s, matching Dustin Lynch’s “Thinking ‘Bout You,” featuring MacKenzie Porter (starting last December), and Luke Combs’ “Forever After All” (starting in June 2021).
Since Country Airplay started in January 1990, only seven songs have led longer, with two tied with a record eight frames at No. 1 each: Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett’s “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” (2003) and Lonestar’s “Amazed” (1999).
Meanwhile, “Proof” is the first song to return to the Country Airplay apex since Chris Lane’s “Big, Big Plans” hit No. 1 on Dec. 19, 2020, and revisited the top two weeks later.
Top 10 ‘World’ View
Jordan Davis banks his sixth Hot Country Songs top 10 as “What My World Spins Around” rises 12-10. The song, which he co-wrote, drew 7.7 million official streams (up 1%) and sold 2,000 downloads (up 98%) Nov. 18-24. On Nov. 17, he announced that his second LP, Bluebird Days, is due Feb. 17.
On Country Airplay, “Spins” ranks at No. 10, up by 7% to 18.7 million impressions in the week ending Nov. 27.
Davis last reached the Hot Country Songs top 10 with “Buy Dirt,” featuring Luke Bryan. The collaboration led for four weeks in January-February, becoming his first No. 1 (and Bryan’s 12th). It dominated Country Airplay for two frames, marking Davis’ third leader (and Bryan’s 26th).
Davis posted his first Hot Country Songs top 10 with his rookie entry “Singles You Up,” which hit No. 4 in April 2018, and followed with “Take It From Me” (No. 4, March 2019); “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot” (No. 6, April 2020); and “Almost Maybes” (No. 7, July 2021). “Singles” and “Slow Dance” also topped Country Airplay for a week each.
Stormzy is eying a hattrick on the U.K. albums chart with This Is What I Mean (via 0207/Merky), which leads at the midweek point.
The Croydon, England rapper is a perfect two-from-two, having led the Official U.K. Albums Chart with with his 2017 debut Gang Signs & Prayer and 2019’s Heavy Is The Head.
The Brit Award winner’s latest LP starts at No. 1 on the midweek chart, just ahead of pop veteran Cliff Richard’s festive collection, Christmas With Cliff (EastWest/Rhino).

Richard’s first Christmas release in almost two decades is on track to become the iconic British artist’s 47th Top 10 solo album, a feat that includes seven leaders.
It’s nearly that time of year, which means a batch of Christmas-themed records are charging up the U.K. charts.
Andrea, Matteo and Virginia Bocelli’s A Family Christmas (Decca) lifts 11-5 on the midweek survey, and Michael Bublé’s Christmas (Reprise) is hovering just outside the top 10, up 35-11.
Further down the list, a Christmas edition of George Ezra’s former leader Gold Rush Kid (Columbia) bumps 33-15, while Aled Jones & Russell Watson’s Christmas With Aled & Russell (BMG) holds at No. 37.
It’s similar story on the midweek singles survey, with holiday classics from Mariah Carey and Wham surging into the top 10.
Elsewhere on the midweek albums survey, Rock And Roll Hall of Famers The Cure could mark a return to the top tier with the goth faves’ ninth album Wish (Polydor/UMR), thanks to a reissue. Wish reached No. 1 following its original release in 1992, and blasts to No. 4 on the Official Chart Update.
Finally, David Bowie could bag a 69th top 40 appearance on the U.K. albums survey with A Divine Symmetry (Parlophone), a four-disc package of rarities and demos that traces the year leading up to the release of his 1971 classic album, Hunky Dory.
Interest in the legendary late singer continues to run hot, thanks in part to the release of Brett Morgen’s feature-length documentary Moonage Daydream, the soundtrack to which opened at No. 20 on the Official U.K. Chart last Friday (Nov. 25). A Divine Symmetry could hit the same height; it’s new at No. 20 on the midweek chart.
Bowie died Jan. 10, 2016 at the age of 69, just days after the release of his Blackstar album.
The Official U.K. Albums Chart is published late Friday.
The Holiday 100 jingles back to Billboard’s charts menu, ranking the top seasonal songs of all eras via the same formula used for the Billboard Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay and sales data.
Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” – which surges from No. 25 to No. 5 on the Hot 100 – rules the Holiday 100 for a 52nd week of the chart’s 57 total weeks since the list launched in 2011; it has topped the seasonal survey for 37 consecutive weeks, dating to the start of the 2015-16 holiday season.
The only other Holiday 100 No. 1s to date: Justin Bieber’s “Mistletoe,” for a week in the 2011-12 holiday season; Pentatonix’s “Little Drummer Boy” (one, 2013-14) and “Mary, Did You Know?” (two, 2014-15); and Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me” (one, 2014-15).
Carey’s 1994 carol crowns all three Holiday 100 component charts (with all surveys dated Dec. 3): Holiday Streaming Songs (21.5 million streams, up 54%, in the Nov. 18-24 tracking week, according to Luminate); Holiday Airplay (20.6 million airplay audience impressions, up 80%); and Holiday Digital Song Sales (3,000 sold, up 57%).
The song also boasts top honors on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs chart.
“When I wrote [it], I had absolutely no idea the impact the song would eventually have worldwide,” Carey marveled of “Christmas” last year. “I’m so full of gratitude that so many people enjoy it with me every year.”
Rounding out the Holiday 100’s top five is a quartet of classics released in the 1950s-60s: Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (No. 2), Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” (No. 3), Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” (No. 4) and Andy Williams’ “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” (No. 5).
Meanwhile, one song newly released this holiday season debuts on the Holiday 100: Kane Brown’s “Blue Christmas” (No. 58, led by 3.5 million streams, up 79%), after it arrived Nov. 10 as an Amazon Music exclusive. The song joins Elvis Presley’s iconic 1957 original version, at No. 22 on the Holiday 100.
The entire latest Holiday 100, along with all seasonal and other charts, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Nov. 29).
Official HIGE DANdism’s “Subtitle” returns to No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, dated Nov. 23, extending its record to four weeks atop the list.

U.S., with 30.2 million streams (up 18%) and 5,000 sold (up 9%) outside the U.S. The song’s profile has swelled thanks to its prominence on TikTok (with the platform not presently reporting directly to Billboard‘s charts).

The single rises 4-2 for a new best on the Radio Songs chart; holds at No. 2 after two weeks atop Streaming Songs; and falls to No. 2 after two weeks at the Digital Song Sales summit.
As “Anti-Hero” tops the Hot 100 for a fifth week, Swift solely scores her second-longest reign, passing the four-week rule of “Shake It Off” in 2014. Among her nine No. 1s, the two songs are bested only by the seven-week dominance of “Blank Space” in 2014-15.
Four weeks ago, “Anti-Hero” soared in atop the Hot 100, as Swift made history as the first artist to monopolize the chart’s entire top 10 in a single week, with all tracks all from her new album Midnights. Meanwhile, of the 64 singles that have debuted atop the Hot 100, “Anti-Hero” is just the 12th to have spent at least its first five weeks on the chart at No. 1, and the first since BTS’ “Butter” led in its first seven weeks in June-July 2021 (before pushing its total to 10 nonconsecutive weeks in the top spot).
“Anti-Hero” additionally hits No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, becoming Swift’s ninth leader, and first since “Willow” for three weeks in April-May 2021. Among all acts since the chart began in Billboard’s pages in March 1996, only Maroon 5 (15) and P!nk (10) have notched more No. 1s. (As “Anti-Hero” also rises 6-3 on Pop Airplay, fellow Midnights cut “Lavender Haze” bullets at No. 31 and debuts at No. 36 on Adult Pop Airplay, as it is now being promoted as the set’s second pop radio single. Concurrently, the album’s “Snow on the Beach,” featuring Lana Del Rey, debuts at No. 36 on Adult Alternative Airplay.)
Drake and 21 Savage’s “Rich Flex” logs a third week on the Hot 100 at No. 2, dating to its debut – when Drake placed eight songs in the top 10 (and 21 Savage, seven). The team-up tallies a third week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs (30.9 million streams, down 14%), as well as a third week atop both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100.
Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” repeats at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after it topped the Oct. 29-dated chart, as it leads Radio Songs for a second week (71.9 million in audience, up 9%).
Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit” holds at No. 4 on the Hot 100, following three weeks at No. 1 in October. The track concurrently tops the multi-metric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a 14th week each and Hot R&B Songs for a 12th frame.
Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” dashes 25-5 on the Hot 100, with 21.5 million streams (up 54%), 20.6 million airplay audience impressions (up 80%), and 3,000 sold (up 57%). It bounds 17-3 on Streaming Songs, 35-14 on Digital Song Sales and re-enters Radio Songs at No. 38. It also crowns the multi-metric Holiday 100 chart for a 52nd week, of the chart’s 57 total weeks since the list launched in 2011; it has topped the ranking for 37 consecutive weeks, dating to the start of the 2015-16 holiday season, and rules as the top title on the Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs chart.
The song sports a record-setting history on the Hot 100, following its 1994 release on Carey’s 1994 album Merry Christmas. As streaming grew through the 2010s and holiday music became more prominent in Yuletide playlists on multiple streaming services, the modern carol hit the top 10 (reaching No. 9) for the first time in December 2017 and the top five (No. 3) for the first time in the 2018 holiday season. In December 2019, it ascended to the summit, 25 years after its original release, becoming the second holiday hit ever to reign, after “The Chipmunk Song” by David Seville & the Chipmunks spent four weeks at No. 1 beginning in December 1958.
“Christmas” became Carey’s 19th Hot 100 No. 1, as she extended her mark for the most among soloists and moved to within one of The Beatles’ overall record 20.
As “Christmas” dominated the Hot 100 for three weeks on the charts dated Dec. 21, 2019, through Jan. 4, 2020, Carey also became the first artist to have ranked at No. 1 on the survey in four distinct decades. The track led again for two weeks in the 2020 holiday season, passing “The Chipmunk Song” for the most for a Yuletide song, and ruled for three more frames over the 2021 holidays, upping its total to eight weeks at No. 1.
Also returning to the Hot 100’s top 10 are three other holiday staples: Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” originally released in 1958 (41-6); the late Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock,” from 1957 (50-9); and the late Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas,” from 1964 (No. 10 re-entry – as it becomes the first holiday song, and ninth song overall, to re-enter the Hot 100 in the top 10). The standards have peaked at Nos. 2, 3 and 4, respectively, in each of the last three holiday seasons.
Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, David Guetta and Bebe Rexha’s “I’m Good (Blue)” holds at its No. 7 high and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” dips 5-8, after 15 weeks at No. 1 beginning in April, the fourth-longest command in the chart’s history.
