CHART FINAL:
HOLIDAY DOUGH

Adele notches her third week at #1 on the HITS Top 50 chart with 30 (Columbia), Taylor Swift retains the #2 spot and Polo G (also Columbia) lands in the Top 5 with his new deluxe Hall of Fame. Meanwhile, holiday music is hotter than a fresh-from-the-oven batch of Christmas cookies.

30's third-week take is 187k+, with the vast majority from retail sales, while Red (Taylor's Version) adds another 80k+ to its total, nearly half of it in retail, and Polo bows with upwards of 78k, almost entirely from streaming.

The holiday vibe is palpable as Michael Bublé's unstoppable Christmas (Reprise) sits at #4 in the ballpark of 63k. Mariah Carey moves into the Top 10 with Merry Christmas (Columbia), which puts about 42k in its stocking this week, good for #8. Vince Guaraldi also makes it into the Top 10 as the eternally wistful Charlie Brown Christmas skates off with 38k+.

Capitol's Nat King Cole, RCA's Pentatonix, Legacy's Phil Spector and Columbia's Andy Williams all guide their Christmas sleighs into the Top 20.

Streeting at presstime are Grade A/Interscope's Juice WRLD and RCA's Alicia Keys.

We're asking Santa for a good night's sleep.
