Song Ratings: Week Ending December 16, 2021

Below is a breakdown of the top songs in the week ending December 16, 2021. Music ratings are divided into two weekly posts: one for albums, and one for individual songs; this is the song post. Songs achieve their positions on the weekly Billboard chart based on three major metrics: sales, streaming, and airplay. Below are three charts: the top 50 songs of the week based on total U.S. sales and streaming consumption (based on total revenue generated), the top 40 songs of the week based on U.S. pop radio airplay according to Nielsen, and an additional radio chart with the top 50 songs of the week according to Mediabase.
