The success of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" continues unstoppable
While Mariah Carey is making headlines with unforgettable moments, her Christmas classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You" continues to make history. According to Billboard, the song has reached its twentieth week at number 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, matching the record set by "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus.
The Christmas anthem received 42.7 million official streams in the United States during the week ending on December 12th, a 12% increase from the previous week, according to data from Luminate. Since its first appearance at the top of the charts in 2019, the song has maintained its position as a holiday staple, except in 2023 when Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" dominated the season.
Mariah Carey's legacy, both for her musical successes and her iconic moments, demonstrates why she continues to be one of the most beloved artists in the world. Her combination of charisma and talent ensures that every appearance is a gift for her fans.
