It’s time, earlier than ever before, for Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” to return to the Billboard Hot 100.
As previously reported, the carol jingles back onto the Hot 100 dated Nov. 15 at No. 31.
Notably, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” appears on the Hot 100 for the first time via activity, in part, during Halloween, as the latest list reflects the tracking week beginning Oct. 31.
Still, the metrics for “All I Want for Christmas Is You” have remained fairly steady at the beginning of November in recent years. As counted toward the latest Hot 100, it drew 9.9 million official streams and 942,000 airplay audience impressions and sold 1,000 in the United States Oct. 31-Nov. 6, according to Luminate.
The song’s totals the year before in the corresponding chart week: 10.4 million streams, 1.7 million in airplay audience and 1,000 sold (Nov. 1-7, 2024). The year before that, it scored 10.8 million streams, 1.8 million in airplay audience and 1,000 sold (Nov. 3-9, 2023).
As with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” hitting a new streaming-era high in the Hot 100’s top 10 concurrent with the reentry of “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” factors beyond the latter’s metrics appear to play into its sleigh ride back to the chart while pumpkins are still on doorsteps before Christmas ornaments have likely been brought down from the attic. In analyzing the chart vault for “Thriller,” Billboard’s Andrew Unterberger cited such factors as generally lower streaming counts year-over-year for current hits and the recent Hot 100 rule change to remove long-charting hits more rapidly, helping to make more room for holiday songs.
“All I Want for Christmas Is You,” originally released in 1994, hit the Hot 100’s top 10 for the first time in December 2017. In December 2019, it ascended to No. 1 at last. Having led in each holiday season since, Carey’s soloist-record 19th leader has ruled for 18 weeks to date, the third-longest command in the chart’s history. It’s also at the North Pole on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs recap.

In October, Billboard gave Louis Tomlinson a new nickname: “King Lou,” inspired by his Beyoncé-reminiscent song title, “Lemonade.” Now, the former One Direction band member is living up to that royal moniker by sharing a track called “Palaces.”
Arriving Friday (Nov. 14), “Palaces” finds Tomlinson bringing the energy on a sweet song about wanting to block out the rest of the world and hide out forever with his love interest. His voice soaring over sunny guitar and pummeling drums, he sings, “I’m lost in the time, I don’t care for the world outside/ You can stay for the night in the palaces of my mind.”
On the day “Palaces” dropped, Tomlinson wrote on social media that it’s been “one of my favourite songs on the record since writing it.”
“Thank you for all the support so far,” he added in his post. “Too excited for next year!”
The star’s new song comes ahead of his upcoming album, How Did I Get Here?, which is set to drop Jan. 23. So far, “Palaces” and “Lemonade” are the only tracks he’s shared of the 12 on the LP, with the latter finding Tomlinson crooning about a lover who’s both “bitter” and “sweet.”
Tomlinson hasn’t released an album since 2022’s Faith in the Future, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. In addition to being his first full-length in three years, How Did I Get Here? will also mark the first album he’s dropped since losing his friend and former bandmate, Liam Payne, who died in 2024 after suffering a fall from the fourth-floor balcony of his hotel room in Argentina.
“There’s still a level in my head [where it feels] unjust and frustrating that he’s not with us anymore,” Tomlinson recently told Rolling Stone UK of Payne. “Naively, I thought that because at this point, I’m relatively well versed in grief for my age, that it might soften the blow. [That was] super-naive. It’s very different. I’ve never lost a friend before.”

Like mother, like daughter. Mariah Carey is legendarily unafraid to frankly speak her mind and it seems the apple has not fallen far from the (Christmas) tree when it comes to 14-year-old daughter Monroe. In a rare comment about her dad Nick Cannon‘s 10 other children, Monroe took to Instagram Stories on Thursday (Nov. 13) to opine on her large blended family.

“Clearing something up guys,” wrote Monroe according to People. “i only have ONE brother who is @moroccan.cannon. i do have other half siblings from my dad but they are all man many years younger than me!” Carey and Cannon are the parents of twins Monroe and Moroccan, who they welcomed in 2011, three years after their wedding.
The couple divorced in 2016 and since then Cannon has fathered 10 more children with five different women: sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa, son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi, daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole and two more with Alyssa Scott, daughter Halo Marie and son Zen, who died at five-months-old in 2021 from brain cancer.
Cannon recently opened up about fathering a dozen children on The Breakfast Club, where he spoke about his mental health journey and admitted to dealing with trauma after his split with Carey. When co-host Charlamagne the God asked if having 12 children was a response to that trauma, Cannon said it was.
“I’m learning that now, and it wasn’t like I was acting out,” Cannon said. “It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my process, because I could do it, because I had the money, because I had the access to whoever and however I wanted to move. Opposed to doing a mature thing and saying, ‘Hey, well, it probably makes more sense to do this.’ And then, obviously, life happens as well. So it wasn’t like, ‘Well, I’m gonna go have 12 kids.’ It was more about, like, ‘Yo, I’mma just live life and have fun and whatever happens, happens, I can handle it.’”
Now 45, Cannon said if he had thought things through a bit more and taken some time to work on himself, “things might’ve been a little different in certain scenarios.”

Miley Cyrus brings the big screen drama on “Dream As One,” the singer’s just-released single from director James Cameron’s anticipated sequel Avatar: Fire and Ash. The soaring, emotional ballad was co-written by Cyrus, Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt and the film’s soundtrack composer, Simon Franglen, and in a tweet announcing its release on Friday morning (Nov. 14), Cyrus wrote, “Writing this song with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt came straight from the heart. Every lyric remembers where we’ve been, reflects where we are, and holds hope for what’s ahead for all of us. It was an honor to create something so personal for a film that connects so deeply with people around the world.”
The passion and emotion she conjured for the third chapter in the eye-popping sci-fi series comes through from the very first lines of the song that will play over the end credits of the film: “Our love will never fade away/ We’re diamonds in the dark/ I put my head against your chest/ And listen to your heart,” Cyrus croons over a pulsing piano line.
And then she leans into the heart-tugging chorus of the song she also co-produced along with Wyatt and Ronson. “Even through the pain/ Even through the ashes in the sky/ Baby when we dream, we dream as one.”
Last month Cyrus teased the song in an Instagram while revealing her very personal connection to the lyrics and themes. “Having been personally affected by fire and being rebuilt from the ashes, this project holds profound meaning for me,” said the singer, whose Malibu home was destroyed in the 2018 Woolsey Fire in Los Angeles. “Thank you, Jim, for the opportunity to turn that experience into musical medicine. The film’s themes of unity, healing, and love resonate deeply within my soul, and to be even a small star in the universe the Avatar family has created is truly a dream come true.”
Not for nothing, but given her co-writers’ awards pedigree, Cyrus could end up on some hardware lists next year. Wyatt and Ronson shared the Academy Award for best original song for their work with Lady Gaga and Anthony Rossomando on the A Star Is Born single “Shallow” in 2019; they also won the best song written for visual media Grammy Award that year. Wyatt and Ronson were also nominated for a best original song Oscar in 2024 for the Barbie tune “I’m Just Ken.”
Cyrus knows her way around a rousing soundtrack song herself, having contributed the Golden Globe-nominated “Beautiful That Way” to 2024’s The Last Showgirl.
Avatar: Fire and Ash, the sequel to 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water, will hit theaters in the U.S. on Dec. 19

Taylor Swift can come back anytime she likes to record at Marcus Mumford’s home studio, with the Mumford & Sons bandleader revealing that the pop superstar was an ideal guest when she recorded parts of Evermore there a few years ago.
In a clip from his recent appearance on the Table Manners podcast, Mumford recalled how his pal and frequent Swift collaborator Aaron Dessner arranged for the Eras Tour headliner to use the personal recording space Mumford has at the home in England he shares with wife actress Carey Mulligan. “Aaron called me and said, ‘I’ve got someone I’m working with that needs a studio in the U.K.,’” Mumford began.
“And I was like, ‘Cool. Well, if it’s one of your homies, then I’m sure it’ll be fine,’” Mumford continued. “‘Like, what is it? Beyoncé or something?’ He was looking for a discreet studio in London. I was like, ‘I don’t think there really are any.’ And he was like, ‘Can they come and use yours?’”
The folk-rock musician was surprised to learn that the artist Dessner was talking about was none other than the biggest pop star on the planet. “She came down right at the end of COVID, and was the most phenomenal houseguest,” Mumford said. “Burned a lot of vegetables for her. And she brought a killer candle. Her candle game was excellent.”
During her time there, Swift would finish the second half of Evermore, according to Mumford. “And then she asked me to sing on one [of the songs] and I said yes,” he added, referring to fan-favorite “Cowboy Like Me.”
The album would go on to debut atop the Billboard 200 in December 2020, remaining in the No. 1 spot for four weeks. Years later, the 14-time Grammy winner would bring Mumford up on stage at one of her Eras Tour shows to perform “Cowboy Like Me” in front of tens of thousands of fans.
Mumford is now gearing up to release his band’s next album, Prizefighter. As announced at the end of October, the project will feature collaborations with Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, Gigi Perez and Hozier.
Watch Mumford reflect on sharing his space with Swift below.
