December 17, 2025Dec 17 Author Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ Unwraps Record-Breaking 20th Week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100By Gary Trust | 12/15/2025Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” achieves a record-breaking 20th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, rewriting the mark for the longest reign over the chart’s 67-year history.The song, originally released in 1994, surpasses the No. 1 runs of two hits that led the Hot 100 over one release cycle each: Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” in 2024, and Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2019.Carey claims the Hot 100’s No. 1 longevity record for a second time — In 1995-96, her and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” dominated for 16 weeks, a mark that stood on its own for more than 23 years, until it was tied by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, in 2017, and then passed by “Old Town Road.” (She, thus, breaks the record with a song released before “One Sweet Day.”)Plus, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” logs its 77th week on the Hot 100, tying Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” as the longest-charted title ever by a woman artist.A week earlier, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” returned to No. 1 on the Hot 100 to lead in a record-extending seventh holiday season. It arrived on Carey’s album Merry Christmas in November 1994 and, as streaming has grown and holiday music has become more prominent on streaming services’ playlists, it hit the top 10 for the first time in December 2017 and the top five for the first time in the 2018 holiday season. It led at last, prior to the past two weeks, over the holidays in 2019 (for three weeks), 2020 (two), 2021 (three), 2022 (four), 2023 (two) and 2024 (four). (Older holiday songs are eligible to appear on the chart each season.)“All I Want for Christmas Is You” became Carey’s 19th Hot 100 No. 1, the most among soloists and one away from the Beatles’ overall record 20. It also made Carey the first artist to have ranked at No. 1 on the chart in four distinct decades (1990s, 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s).Meanwhile, holiday hits glisten in eight of the Hot 100’s top 10 spots, including the entire top five.“All I Want for Christmas Is You,” on Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings, drew 39.5 million streams (up 17%) and 22.6 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 1%) and sold 3,000 downloads (up 3%) in the U.S. Dec. 5-11, according to Luminate.The single holds for a record-extending 24th week atop the Streaming Songs chart; backtracks 21-23 on Radio Songs, where it has hit a No. 7 best; and dips 4-5 on Digital Song Sales, following six weeks at the summit.Here’s a recap of the seven longest-leading No. 1s dating to the Hot 100’s Aug. 4, 1958, start. Carey is the only artist with two entries on the elite list. (All seven songs have led since the chart adopted electronically-monitored Luminate data in November 1991, at which point longer commands, and stays on the chart overall, subsequently became more common than before.)20 weeks, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey, 2019-2519, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey, 202419, “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat.

Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” amassed a record 112-week run through October.“All I Want for Christmas Is You” concurrently tops Billboard’s multimetric Holiday 100 chart for a 69th week, of the chart’s 77 total weeks since the list originated in 2011.The anthem also rules as the top title on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs chart.“All I Want for Christmas Is You” leads eight holiday songs in the Hot 100’s top 10, including the entire top five.Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” dances 3-2 on the Hot 100; Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” from 1984, ranks at No. 3 a week after hitting a new No. 2 high; the late Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” holds at No. 4, with the 1957 release having reached No. 3; and Ariana Grande’s 2014 single “Santa Tell Me” rebounds three spots to its No. 5 best.Late legend Nat “King” Cole’s “The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)” ascends 9-8 on the Hot 100, marking a new high for the chestnut that Cole first recorded in 1946.Kelly Clarkson’s “Underneath the Tree” reenters the Hot 100’s top 10, up two spots back to its No. 9 best. The 2013 release drew 26.7 million streams (up 20%), 10 million in airplay audience (up 1%) and 2,000 sold (up 22%) in the tracking week.The late Andy Williams’ “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” from 1963, keeps at No. 10 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 5.Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” from Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters, is the highest-charting non-holiday hit, down 5-6 after eight weeks at No. 1 beginning in August.Plus, Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” falls 6-7 on the Hot 100 after spending its first eight weeks at No. 1, having tied “Anti-Hero” for her longest-leading career hit.
