3. The 𝘞𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥: 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 soundtrack has minimal impact, with only "For Good" entering at #82. No surprise though as the previous movie only charted 2 songs last year, and most activity this week is holiday-related. So at least Ariana Grande rises with "Santa Tell Me"

2. Fuerza Regida's gains from last week reverse, but they do debut "Chavalitas" in a solid week for regional Mexican music. Calle 24's "Suiza" returns, Peso Pluma and Tito Double P introduce "Intro", and in a somewhat different style, Herencia de Grandes bring "Ya Borracho"

1. Besides Christmas music, the biggest gainer this week is Tate McCrae. 𝘚𝘰 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵??? charts 2 new tracks, while "Tit for Tat" soars from near the bottom to #87. "Sports Car" off the standard version rises too. Even "Greedy" and "Just Keep Watching" stick around

5. Regional Mexican music is also doing well, though mostly via Fuerza Regida. "Marlboro Rojo" and "Tu Sancho" both rise impressively, "Ansiedad" returns, and their Grupo Frontera collab "Coqueta" picks up more than 80 positions after more than half a year on the chart

4. Filling in the gaps, Brazilian music is having a very good week. Grupo Menos É Mais' "P do Pecado" climbs and their "Pela Última Vez" re-enters, and there are also gains of 30 spots or more for ZXKAI & slxughter, Diego & Victor Hugo, and Vitinho Imperador

3. This week's returns include holiday music of course, led by Sia's "Snowman" (#69), a perennial on this chart that's basically unknown on the Hot 100. But there are also some less obvious returns and older songs, including a debut for Zara Larsson's decade-old "Lush Life"

2. Conversely, the most gainful album of the week is The Art of Loving by Olivia Dean. Its four currently charting tracks all gather momentum, including "A Couple Minutes" which jumps in its second week to just below the top 100

1. Rosalía's album impact from last week has almost evaporated, with Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack also in a general downward motion, though less drastic and with tracks still in the top 10. Just in time for the Christmas takeover

3. Out of just three new arrivals, most interesting is "Let the World Burn" by Canadian singer Chris Grey, remixed by R3BEL and Kryd who I assume are DJs. It's subtitled the "Hoodtrap / Mylancore Remix" so this is probably the first chart appearance for these microgenres

2. There's also a lot of action for older songs in general. Everyone from Creedence Clearwater Revival to One Direction returns and several catalog hits reach new peaks, including Radiohead's "Creep" getting to the top 40 for the first time after over two years on the chart

1. Most action this week is holiday music, and not just Halloween. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" soars #195 to #46 and Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" reappears at #179. Meanwhile Mariah Carey and Wham! return way too soon with their Christmas songs at #88 and #177 respectively

3. Other winners this week: Kenshi Yonezu has 2 songs in the top 10, uncommon for a Japanese artist. Bad Bunny saw slight gains for most of his charting songs, which would likely increase as halftime show discussions keep capturing attention

2. Thankfully the perverse stream spike for d4vd is mostly over. "Romantic Homicide" collapses over 100 spots and "Here With Me" is out. It is however a good week for Olivia Dean, who saw a huge album boost for "Nice to Each Other" and a debut for "So Easy (To Fall In Love)"

1. Haven't done one of these recaps in a while, and this isn't the most eventful week to return but there are a couple stories. Kpop Demon Hunters is still massive, with "Golden" holding on to #1 and the song's Tagalog version (by a different HUNTR/X) landing at #104

3. One odd debut on the chart is at #160: "Tu Misterioso Alguien" by Argentinian band Miranda!, originally released in 2009. The reason seems to be both current band members serving as judges on the local version of The Voice, where they sang a snippet of the song last month

2. The Saiyaara soundtrack keeps going strong as well. Two more songs off the 7-track album debut, and Arijit Singh's "Dhun" is the week's best climber - #152 to #50. Interesting to note that Ed Sheeran's "Sapphire", featuring vocals by Singh, rises back to the top 20 as well

1. The biggest story this week is the two biggest stories from last week gaining speed. First, the mourning of Ozzy Osbourne lifts "Crazy Train" almost 100 spots to #77, while Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" enters the top 40. Two more Osbourne tracks and one Sabbath tune debut

3. There's also a new Disney song on the chart - sort of. Japanese band Mrs. GREEN APPLE, a constant presence on the chart, adds another entry at #149 with "Carrying Happiness". But according to Billboard, it's specifically the 90-second version promoting Tokyo Disney Resort

2. With Justin Bieber's album impact dissipating, plenty of decades-old tunes gain and some debut. Radiohead just scrapes in with "Let Down" at #200, and in sadder circumstances, Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" and Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" appear at #61 and #175, respectively

1. Kpop Demon Hunters still owns the chart, including "Golden" reclaiming the top spot. But the soundtrack story of the week belongs to the Hindi film Saiyaara. The theme song by Faheem Abdullah vaults #177 to #4, while two other songs from the movie debut at #152 and #155
