https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8489773/baby-its-cold-outside-sales-streaming-airplay-up-lyrics-controversy In the days since, however, the song's profile has swelled in multiple metrics, and encompassing multiple versions. Most notably, on Billboard's Holiday Digital Song Sales chart dated Dec. 15, three interpretations of "Baby" appear, the most of any title, and they make the survey's three largest gains, respectively. Dean Martin's version, recorded in 1959, is the chart's Greatest Gainer, soaring 23-2 for its highest rank in over seven years (after leading the list for a week in October 2011). In the week ending Dec. 6, Martin's take charged by 257 percent to 7,000 sold. Plus, Idina Menzel's 2014 version with Michael Bubl re-enters Holiday Digital Song Sales at No. 29, up 165 percent to 2,000 sold, and Leon Redbone and Zooey Deschanel's 2003 duet, from the Elf soundtrack, debuts at No. 41, bounding by 130 percent to 2,000 sold. The three tracks' sales gains of 257, 165 and 130 percent, respectively, far outpace the average increase of all holiday songs in the tracking week: 34 percent. - - - Revenge of the classic against the politically correct would-be censors! --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lau...@vortex.com): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google Issues Mailing List: https://vortex.com/google-issues Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list https://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
