Mariah Carey’s 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' Hits No. 1 For First Time Ever
Mariah Carey might be having the best Christmas ever! Her hit holiday single ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ just reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, 25 years after its initial release.
The holiday classic was originally released in 1994 on Carey’s Merry Christmas album. Last year, the song peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100 charts. According to Billboard, the song is the second holiday No. 1 ever on the Hot 100, joining The Chipmunks’ ‘The Chipmunk Song.’ The song put Carey just one No. 1 shy of The Beatles’ record of 20. Other acts with the most Hot 100 No. 1’s are Rihanna with 14, Michael Jackson with 13, and Madonna and The Supremes with 12 each. Carey collects her record-extending 80th total week at No. 1 on the Hot 100. The top acts who’ve spent the most weeks after her are Rihanna (60), The Beatles (59), Boyz II Men (50) and Drake (49).
