While it might be up for debate exactly where “All I Want for Christmas” came from, but there seems little doubt about where it’s going: straight to the top of the winter charts. This week, the track hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the eleventh time since 2019. This made her the only woman to ever have three songs — “All I Want for Christmas,” “One Sweet Day” and “We Belong Together” — all top the chart for double-digit weeks. The last pre-Carey seasonal single to hit No. 1 was “The Chipmunk Song.” Many musicians have put out Christmas contenders in the years since, but it seems that the public just keep having a very merry Carey Christmas.

“All I Want For Christmas Is You” was initially released as part of Carey’s first-holiday album Merry Christmas back in 1994. The song was produced by Carey and Walter Afanasieff. It is estimated that it has sold over 14 million copies worldwide, and is the best-selling holiday song by a female artist, as well as one of the best-selling physical singles in music history.
