All I Want for Christmas Was You:
Quote:
The song was ineligible for inclusion on the Billboard Hot 100 during its original release, because it was not released commercially as a single. This rule lapsed in 1998, however, allowing the song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at No. 83 in January 2000).

It was never released in the US as a single. It was sent to radio, but never commercially released - it was therefore not allowed to chart and did not chart until 2000, well after her streak's last lead single. It should not be considered for the purposes of a Hot 100 based list because of the lack of a commercial US release.
