Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" tops the returning Billboard Holiday 100 chart dated November 29.
The survey ranks the top seasonal songs of all eras via the same formula used for the Billboard Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay and sales data.
With its latest climb from No. 8 to No. 1, the song now rules the Holiday 100 for a 66th week of the chart's 74 total weeks since the inception of the list in 2011.
The only other Holiday 100 No. 1s to date: Justin Bieber's "Mistletoe," for a week in the 2011 holiday season; Pentatonix's "Little Drummer Boy" (one, 2013) and "Mary, Did You Know?" (two, 2014); Ariana Grande's "Santa Tell Me" (one, 2014); and Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" - which reigned for three weeks on both the Holiday 100 and Hot 100 in 2023.
"All I Want for Christmas Is You" notched up 15.7 million streams (up 14% week-over-week), 9.7 million airplay audience impressions (up 82%) and 1,000 sold (up 13%) in the United States during the tracking week ended November 20th, according to Luminate.
"When I wrote [it], I had absolutely no idea the impact the song would eventually have worldwide," Carey marveled of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" in 2021. "I'm so full of gratitude that so many people enjoy it with me every year."
