It holds at its No. 3 peak on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100 , which Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” rules for an 18th week. Holiday-related music occupies 10 spots of TikTok Billboard Top 50, including four of the top 10; Jose Feliciano ’s “Feliz Navidad” re-enters the chart at No. 8, a new peak, while Brenda Lee ’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” jumps 18-9. Christmas music dominates the ranking due to the holiday falling amid the tracking period on Dec. 25, begetting a variety of uploads , from dances and lip syncs to creators showing off their gift hauls for the year. The chart’s top 10 features another newcomer in the top 10, albeit not a Christmas song: Naughty Boy ’s “La La La,” featuring Sam Smith , which leaps 19-4 in its second week on the tally. Though some of the uploads using “La La La” use the original version, a majority of the top-performing clips feature a sped-up sound, generally set to a dance trend . “La La La” sports a 165% jump in listens to 3.3 million streams in the week ending Dec. 26. It peaked at No. 19 on the Hot 100 in May 2014, Smith’s first appearance on the list. See the full TikTok Billboard Top 50 here .
