Mariah Carey’s iconic holiday song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” continues to dominate the Billboard charts, setting unprecedented records once more. The track, first released in 1994, has reached the top of the Hot 100 chart for the sixth consecutive year.
The holiday anthem has solidified Mariah Carey’s status as the ‘Queen of Christmas’ once again. Her song “All I Want For Christmas Is You” stands out as the first ever to top Billboard’s Hot 100 list for six years in a row. This achievement marks a distinctive milestone in music history, as no other song has topped the chart in so many separate runs.
Billboard reports that only one other song, “The Twist” by Chubby Checker, has achieved even two stays at the top of the charts. Mariah Carey’s consistent success has extended her presence at the pinnacle of the Hot 100 for 20 years. Her record for the number of weeks an artist has held the number one position also extends to 94 weeks, outperforming other prominent artists such as Rihanna who has 60 weeks and The Beatles with 59 weeks.
In the initial week of December, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” registered 38.2 million streams alongside 24.4 million radio airplay audience impressions, based on data from Luminate. These figures underscore the song’s enduring appeal and widespread popularity during the holiday season.
Furthermore, Mariah Carey has embraced her association with the holiday season. Although her attempt to trademark the title “Queen of Christmas” was denied, she has capitalized on her seasonal popularity through special social media releases signaling the onset of the festive period.
In summary, Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ remains a formidable force in the music world, continually setting new records and affirming Carey’s enduring appeal. Its consistent performance on the Billboard charts symbolizes the song’s deep-rooted connection with audiences and the holiday spirit.
