You know how liberals collectively decided that “Baby It’s Cold Outside” is super rape-y and triggering? Even some radio stations pulled it due to the mass snowflakery.
Well, good news. We The People have spoken!
The song has surged in sales, and people are streaming it like crazy.
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 Bublé 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.
Heck yeah. ALL THE VERSIONS!
I’ll go ahead and save the debate. This is obviously the best version.
DON’T LOOK AT ME GET OUT!
This is good.
Also, I really like this version too.
And this is oddly mesmerizing.
But obviously this is the top dog.
OK I’m done. 🙂
