Mariah Carey's carols have gone 20 weeks on the top of the U.S. lists, more than anyone else
The singer Mariah Carey has broken every record in the field of Christmas music: her famous Christmas song "All I want for Christmas is you" has managed to lead the Billboard Hot 100 list for 20 weeks, thus achieving what no other song has ever achieved.
The famous American singer's song was first released on the Merry Christmas album in November 1994, but, driven by the rise of streaming and the habit of including carols on playlists, it reached the top ten on the list in December 2017 and the top five on Christmas 2018, according to Billboard magazine.
Finally, it reached first place in Christmas 2019 (three weeks), in 2020 (two), 2021 (three), 2022 (four), 2023 (two) and 2024 (four).
The Hot 100 list includes music streaming (official audio and video), radio broadcasts and physical content sales from all genres in the United States.
The song was first published in 1994, and has been on the list of longest-running Hot 100 songs, "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," by Shaboocey, and "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus.
For the second time, Carey has won the crown of the longest-serving artist on the Hot 100 list, as his song "One Sweet Day" with Boyz II Men in 1995 and 1996 was at the forefront of the series of songs for 16 weeks, until in 2017 the version of "Despacito" that Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee recorded with Justin Bieber took its place.All I want for Christmas Is You has spent 77 weeks on the Hot 100 list.
