Weekly BBT Charts - 2024 Week 50 (Ending Dec. 14th)

Ice Princess' soundtrack pulls a surprise smash on this week's chart as Wicked's 2 hits hold strong, and Parannoul's We Shine At Night makes a big comeback. More after the cut.

Diana DeGarmo's Reachin' For Heaven debuts #1 with 34 plays, holding back a solid challenge with a 5 play margin. This song marks Diana's first charting song to date. I'm Not That Girl by Idina Menzel from Wicked's 2003 Broadway Recording dips 1-2 in its second week, still having a slim chance to crack into the 2024 Top 100 songs list. However, it would need to remain in the top 5 for the rest of the year to succeed. And that depends on the point cut-off not being above 200, in which case it would be mathematically impossible for the song to make it (a song can score a maximum of 50 points per week, and I'm Not That Girl debuted on the 4th last week of the calendar year) Wrapping up the top 3, Flor's Kick It debuts #3, pushed mainly from one of Penny Parker's Minecraft SMP stream VODs.

Parannoul's We Shine At Night climbs 11-4, charting for a 9th week this year and clenching a position in the top 100 almost certainly. The song had initially underperformed after debuting at #1 on the very last week of the 2023 calendar, which split the song's score over the two years. However, this most recent run seems to be redeeming the song.

Defying Gravity by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth dips 2-5 in its 2nd week; Some Are Lonely's This Is What Remains holds strong in the top 10 as it slips 4-6, and Duffy's Distant Dreamer from the JoJo: Stone Ocean soundtrack slips 3-7.

The last actual debut this week, Healing Sorrow by City Girl featuring In Love With A Ghost, lands at #8. Then, wrapping up the top 10 are two returns from songs fairly late in their respective chart runs: Five Fold Kiss by The Hex Girls rebounding 17-9, and Wake Up by backxwash bouncing 41-10.

Outside the top 10, a few notable re-entries have occured:

Christmas Electricity from StarKid's A VHS Christmas Carol lands at #12, becoming an official Christmas Rotation staple this year.

Comforting Sounds by Mew returns at #32, being given a 2nd push after initially underperforming early this year, not unlike We Shine At Night.

Billie Eilish's What Was I Made For? and My Chemical Romance's Summertime return at #32 and #44 respectively. This is mostly due to revisiting the year-end list from Spotify, and due to the Top 50 play count threshold for this week being much lower than average. For reference, it would typically be around 7 plays, while this week it was comfortably at 4 plays.

Notable new peaks outside the top 10 include Ichigo's STONE OCEAN rising 39-13, and illuminati hotties' December climbing 19-16.
