SONG REVENUE: TURKEY TROT
Two Republic releases gobble up nearly half of the HITS Song Revenue Chart, as 14 of the 16 tracks from Drake & 21 Savage’s Her Loss (OVO/Republic) and half the 20 songs from Taylor Swift’s Midnights–3am Edition remain in the Top 50, for a collective tally of $1.72m.
Following the opening of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up” (Westbury Road/Roc Nation/Def Jam/Hollywood) jumps 16 spots to #21, earning $54k.
Holiday perennials from Mariah Carey (Columbia), Brenda Lee (MCA Nashville) and Bobby Helms (Geffen) make their first appearance of the season. You'll be seeing—and hearing—more of these and other Christmas standards in the coming weeks.
