Multiple album bombs send a shockwave through the Hot 100 as Christmas music continues to rise. Also, Ariana Grande returns to number one as 6ix9ine rises and falls at the same time.

This week an astounding 27 songs debuted on the chart led by album bombs by Lil Baby, Ski Mask the Slump God, and Meek Mill. This caused multiple chart veterans to fall off, including “Boo’d Up,” “Taste,” “Nonstop,” and “In My Feelings.” The top of the chart, as predicted last week, sees Ariana Grande returning to the top following the biggest week in streams for a female artist (and biggest for a non-Drake or non-Harlem Shake song). “All I Want for Christmas Is You” reaches the top 10 for the second time in chart history at a new peak of #7, with many speculating that it could reach number one this season. Two Christmas classics make their first appearances on the chart, “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow” by Dean Martin at #41 and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” by Gene Autry at #36.

6ix9ine drops one spot on the albums chart to #3 despite seeing the greatest gains this week, as “MAMA” and “KIKA” reach the top 50 while “FEFE,” “STOOPID,” and “BEBÉ” all see massive drops on (or completely off of) the chart.

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.
