Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You has held the number 1 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 14 weeks in a row.
This makes Carey the first artiste to hit the No 1 Billboard Hot 100 list three times. She previously had hits like One Sweet Day featuring Boyz II Men reign in the list for sixteen weeks from 1995-1996; and her 2005 song We Belong Together held No 1 in the chart for fourteen weeks.
The Hot 100 chart blends all-genre US streaming, radio airplay and sales data, the latter’s metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers, digital singles sales from direct to consumer excluded.
All I Want For Christmas Is You by Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings drew 48.4 million streams, 31.7 million radio airplay audience impressions, and sold 7,000 downloads in the US, December 15 to 21, according to Luminate.
Originally released in Carey’s 1994 album Merry Christmas, as the rise in streaming continued, and holiday music became more prominent on streaming services’ playlist, the song hit the top 10 for the first time in December 2017 and has led the chart in the 2019 for three weeks, two weeks in 2020, three weeks in 2021, four weeks in 2022 and two weeks this year.
