No holiday season is complete without Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas (Is You)”, and this song is finally back on top, where it belongs! Carey proved she’s a true “Queen of Christmas” as this iconic holiday classic returned to No. 1 for its 13th non-consecutive week.
With 42.2 million streams, 26.1 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 8,000 downloads, “All I Want for Christmas” easily reclaimed the No. 1 spot. The recently released “Festive Lambs Edition” music video boosted its popularity and helped it return atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
This holiday classic now spent five holiday seasons at No. 1, and its sixth nonconsecutive ascent to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 breaks the record previously held by Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” and Harry Styles’ “As It Was”.
This marks the 13th non-consecutive week that “All I Want for Christmas” spent at No. 1, and this number is quite historic. Carey is currently the only act apart from Boyz II Men with three songs to spend 13 or more weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Carey briefly vacated the No. 1 spot this holiday season after Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” experienced a surprising renaissance. This song spent the previous two weeks at No. 1 after climbing atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart 65 years following its release.
