There are no less than 36 newcomers, relatively speaking, on our latest
Song Revenue Chart—the exact number of tracks that got pushed out of the Top 50 by Christmas songs a week earlier. The sense that the holidays are over is further brought home by the week-over-week comparison of six-figure earnings totals: all 50 tracks broke $100k during Christmas week, but only 15 passed that plateau on New Year’s week.
Post Malone gives
Republic the #1 and 2 biggest earners, totaling a tidy $426k. Also noteworthy is the number of non-hip-hop songs on the chart, led by #3
Halsey (
Capitol), with
Ariana Grande (Republic) #5,
Marshmello & Bastille (
Astralwerks/Joytime Collective/ Capitol) #9—and 18 of the Top 50 in all.
That’s unusual in this day and age, and so is the growth of country; the genre has six entries—two from
Dan + Shay (
Warner Nashville), followed by
Mitchell Tenpenny (
Riser House/Columbia Nashville),
Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line (
WBR),
Luke Combs (
River House/Columbia Nashville) and
Kane Brown (
RCA Nashville/Zone 4).
