Mariah Carey has once again proved why she is called the “Queen of Christmas.” Her famous holiday song All I Want for Christmas Is You has returned to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In December 2025, the song achieved another huge milestone by spending its 21st total week at the top. This makes it the longest-running holiday No. 1 song in chart history, showing its lasting popularity even more than 30 years after its release.
Mariah Carey’s Christmas Hit Reaches Historic Chart Milestone
With this achievement, Mariah Carey has also reached a historic personal record. She has now completed 100 total weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 across her career. These weeks come from 19 different No. 1 songs, starting with her debut hit Vision of Love in 1990. No other artist has reached this number before. Rihanna follows in second place with 60 weeks, while The Beatles and Drake come after her.
The song All I Want for Christmas Is You was first released in 1994 on Carey’s album Merry Christmas. For many years, it returned to the charts every holiday season, but it became even bigger with the rise of streaming platforms. It first entered the top 10 in 2017 and finally reached No. 1 in 2019. Since then, it has topped the chart every Christmas season, making it a true holiday tradition.

At the same time, it continues to lead the Holiday 100 chart, where it has now been No. 1 for 70 weeks. The track also performs strongly in streaming, radio play, and digital sales each year.
