Country and AC are the formats most likely to switch to all Christmas. Country usually waits until Christmas Eve to switch though. At least some of the Country songs should partially rebound on today's report, and expect huge changes on the AC Chart put out later today.

Well it depends on what you care more about. Audience contributes towards the Hot 100 while spins do not, so this audience increase was very beneficial for its Hot 100 placement next week.

Exactly, that's why I'd rather see positive audience updates than positive spin updates during this freeze.

Why would you predict that for SIO? Does it have momentum or something?

AC is one of the slowest formats in radio. SIO was already at #1 before the holidays, and songs that are normally #1 before the holidays usually return to the summit afterwards (once Xmas songs are flushed out).

Also, since AC has such a slow turnover rate in comparison to pop and adult pop formats, its stay at #1 should last throughout the winter seeing as there's no competition for it at the moment.

For comparison, SIO is following a very similar pattern to last year's Roar. It ruled at #1 on AC before the freeze, and it returned and stayed at #1 for most of the winter of 2014. AC also aids sales longevity, so SIO will probably be around for a while on iTunes during a good chunk of 2015.

Sorry for the essay

That's good to hear. An AC year-end countdown would probably be similar to a pop year-end countdown from 2013 lol.

I really hope so, can't belive she didn't get the #1 with "Break Free" I felt the song way overplayed. I'm so happy by LMH's sucess I wish it would do better because the song is like one of the best things this year but oh well
