At some point Spain has turned Niña Pastori into the Spanish Mariah Carey, boosting her on the charts for Christmas. Although ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ has been the most listened to Christmas song at Christmas in Spain, occupying fourth position (although without equaling its peak last year), during the week immediately prior to December 25, Pastori has breathed down his neck with ‘Palillos y panderos’, which has climbed from 38 to 5. It is his viral hit from last year. Their album ‘Merry Christmas!’ re-enters at number 59.
In any case, ‘La Perla’ by Rosalía and Yahritza y la Esencia continues its reign in Spain even in the festive season. ‘Dardos’ by Romeo Santos and Prince Royce rises to 2, making Aitana’s long-awaited climb to first position with ‘Superestrella’, which falls to 3, even more difficult.
Most of the week’s entries on the Spanish singles chart correspond to Christmas songs and Christmas carols, almost the same as those of last year, although the chart does receive a notable Christmas entry, that of ‘ Así canta Jerez en Navidad’ by Luis de Perikin, which premieres at number 70. The song that returns to enter the highest position is ‘Feliz Navidad’ by José Feliciano, which is placed at number 22. This is how all the entries remain. re-entries:

On Monday the 12th we will have the complete photo of the music that the public has consumed in Spain during Christmas, including Three Kings.
The Spanish singles chart of the week leaves a trio of debuts unrelated to Christmas, all urban: ‘El mundo se va a finish’ by Omar Courtz and Karbeatsentra at number 63; ‘GuapaDeCara’ by RVFV and CANO in ’81 and ‘Demonia angelical’ by Luar La L and HADES66 in ’98.
