Mariah Carey’s holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” experienced a true renaissance in recent years, and helped her set many amazing records. This song just topped the Billboard Hot 100 for its 14th week, helping Carey set another major milestone along the way.

Carey’s beloved Christmas tune returned to the top of the Hot 100 for its fifth consecutive holiday season just last week, and its domination isn’t over just yet. With 48.4 million streams, 31.7 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 7,000 downloads, “All I Want for Christmas” returned to No. 1 for its 14th non-consecutive time.

By doing so, this song helped Carey make history as the only artist with three songs to spend at least 14 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart. She previously achieved this success with “One Sweet Day” ft. Boyz II Men and her solo single “We Belong Together” from 2005.

“All I Want for Christmas” leads the holiday takeover on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week. Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” is the only non-holiday title to make it to the top ten this week 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”.
