The album bombs recede as several songs gain across the board. Our Christmas songs both reach new peaks, as more non-JD Christmas songs make their debut on the chart.

This week's highest debut went to another posthumous XXXTENTACION release, this time "Whoa (Mind in Awe)" from his new album Skins at #37. The album debuts atop the albums chart. Critics have pointed out that the album feels unfinished and the whole idea of it seems like the company capitalizing on his. "BAD!" is the only song that feels completed. Transitioning into more festive news, 6ix9ine has left the top 50. Also more holiday music! "Here Comes Santa Claus (Down Santa Claus Lane)" by Gene Autry debuts at #40, marking his second song on the Hot 100 after last week's debut of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Autry's career predates the chart, but both songs did well on the charts Billboard had back in 1949. "Sleigh Ride" by The Ronettes debuts right behind it at #41, and Jose Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad" reenters at #42. Other Christmas songs rise and some reach new peaks like "All I Want for Christmas Is You" to #6 and "Last Christmas" to #31.

In non-holiday news, Ariana Grande holds the top spot for a fifth non-consecutive week as Halsey rises to #2 with "Without Me." This marks the first time solo females ruled the top 2 since last year when Taylor Swift and Cardi B held down the region.

On the Latin chart, "Despacito" becomes the second song to hit 100 weeks on the chart and also takes the title of streaming gainer this week.

Year-End 2018
Note the chart year runs from charts dated 12/1/2017 to 12/1/2018

Hot 100
This year saw major achievements for hip-hop artists such as Drake and Post Malone. The list is kind of lame with some people noting the abundance of songs in the lower half that barely reached the top 50.

Dance/Electronic
Because it's a 100-song recap of a 50-song chart, almost anything that reached the top 10 this year made it in.

 * Positions 101 to 125 correspond to positions 1 to 25 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Chart, which acts as an extension of the Hot 100.
 * Prior to 2012, songs did not have to be predominantly in Spanish to chart on the Hot Latin Songs chart and the chart was predominantly based on airplay.
 * The Dance/Electronic chart was established in January 2013. Songs that predate the chart only charted if the song saw a significant enough increase to chart sometime after the chart was established.
