Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” crowns the Billboard Hot 100 for a 16th total week. The song matches her longest command on the chart, first set by “One Sweet Day,” with Boyz II Men, in 1995-96.

The carol, which tops the Hot 100 for a second consecutive week this holiday season, also ties for the third-longest total domination in the chart’s 66-year history, after only the 19-week No. 1 runs of Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” this year and Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2019.

Notably, with “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and “One Sweet Day,” Carey has logged the Hot 100’s two longest-leading No. 1s by a woman artist. She’s also tied for the third-longest reign among women, thanks to 14 weeks at No. 1 for “We Belong Together” in 2005.

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” additionally leads the Streaming Songs chart for a record-tying 20th total week, equaling “Old Town Road” for the longest No. 1 stay dating to the chart’s 2013 start.

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” was originally released 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 Hot 100’s 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) and 2023 (two).

“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).

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Dec. 21, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Dec. 17).
