Mariah Carey's Christmas Classic Tops Charts Again

Mariah Carey's iconic holiday song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has achieved a historic milestone by spending 17 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing her previous record with "One Sweet Day." This makes it the longest-running #1 hit by a female artist in the history of the chart, with only two songs, Shaboozey's "A Bar Song" and Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," having longer runs at 19 weeks. The song, which has accumulated nearly 800 million YouTube views and over 2 billion Spotify plays, continues to dominate streaming platforms, generating an estimated $2.5 million to $3 million in royalties annually for Carey. Additionally, Ariana Grande's "Santa Tell Me" and Kelly Clarkson's "Underneath the Tree" have both entered the top 10 for the first time this year, demonstrating the ongoing popularity of holiday music. Carey's enduring success with the song has solidified her status as a holiday icon.
