Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 Peak date: 6/5/1961 The vibe: Haunted, histrionic A favorite of: Easily spooked marathoners Listen here.
Halloween songs might not be as celebrated — or profitable — as Christmas music , but there’s no denying the grave reality that people go batty for spooky songs as Oct. 31 approaches.
Simply put, folks who want to avoid spooky songs around All Hollows’ Eve don’t have a ghost of a chance. And while we all have our favorites, there are some seasonally appropriate songs that loom larger in Billboard Hot 100 history than others. We decided to round up the 20 Biggest Halloween Songs based on their Hot 100 chart achievements . No bones about it — the results might leave some people howling mad. Frightening as it may be to fans of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller” doesn’t actually make the top 20 of this list. Although it’s inarguably become a perennial staple – one as essential to the season as those holding Frankenstein’s monster together — it doesn’t quite make the list.
