It’s been almost three decades since Mariah Carey dropped “All I Want for Christmas Is You”, but she’s still making history with this song. The beloved holiday classic topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the 14th time this week, helping Carey set another major chart record.
“All I Want for Christmas” returned to No. 1 with 48.4 million streams, 31.7 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 7,000 downloads, spending the fifth holiday season in a row atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
This marks the 14th non-consecutive week this song spent at No. 1, helping Carey make history in the process. She’s currently the only artist to have three songs with 14 or more weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, following the success of her Boyz II Men collaboration “One Sweet Day” and her 2005 single “We Belong Together”.
“All I Want for Christmas Is You” isn’t the only holiday song to make it to the Billboard Hot 100 just in time for Christmas. Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” was actually the only non-holiday title within the top ten at No. 6, behind Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”, Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock”, Wham!’s “Last Christmas”, and Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” in the top five.
