Mariah Carey has done it!
25 years after the release of ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You,’ Billboard has unwrapped confirmation that the holiday classic has become the diva’s historic 19th #1 single.
Full story below…
Recent years have seen the song scale to new heights thanks to seismic sales and streams, with 2018 bringing a new peak of #3. A position the track returned to this week.
Now, this week, it’s jumped two spots to #1 fuelled by 45.6 million streams, 27,000 downloads, and a multi-format radio audience of 34.4 million.
A phenomenal feat, ‘All I Want’s crowning moment sees Carey net her first Hot 100 chart-topper since 2008’s ‘Touch My Body.’
Check Out These Impressive Mariah x ‘All I Want’ Stats:
* First solo artist to have 19 #1 singles on the Hot 100.
* First holiday single by a recording artist to go to #1.
* Unprecedented Feat: one of the first songs in history to have its first run at #1 25 years after its release.
* Carey joins elite list of artists to have landed #1s in three separate decades. On said tally are the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, and Janet Jackson.
* At 49 years young, Mimi has the distinct honor of being the oldest female this century to score a #1 single. Among solo female acts, the all-time record is currently held by Cher, who topped the tally with comeback bop ‘Believe’ in 1999 (at 52 years old).
* ‘All I Want’s chart-topping success means the songbird has written 18 of her 19 #1s.
A huge and heartfelt congratulations to Mariah! Christmas has indeed come early.
This is the definition of deserved and adds to legacy that is one of the most legendary in music history.
Congrats also to Team MC, who’ve mounted a highly impressive campaign for the 25th anniversary of the song and its parent album ‘Merry Christmas.’
prime example why you let your favs stay in their lanes and don’t compare them to REAL legends. CONGRATS MC
What a time to be alive. This makes my heart so happy
Yes, this is like Christmas morning ? This is so amazing! ? The same year that Lil Nas X passed the record for One Sweet Day with NINETEEN weeks, Mariah scores her NINETEENTH #1 with a song from NINETEEN NINETY FOUR! ? God is good, ALL THE TIME ? I think it’s time to give the single treatment to Melt Away if it can be arranged and have a post Christmas/New Years vibe to the video! Mariah could be taking down her tree and lights getting ready for the New Year! The last scene of the video could be her performing in Times Square with all real life couples, gay and straight, from all walks of life! Get that 20th #1, Mimi lol?? God bless you, beautiful Mariah! You sing like an ANGEL ? ❤️
Beautifully said, Fancy! ❤️???
Come on video director. Love it!

2020 will be so painful for this McDonald’s performer who cant afford fresh stage outfits.
Gaga and Selena, both queens.

Love this woman. She’s crazy funny!
Well deserved as she puts the effort in.
And WOW she penned 18 numbers 1’s. I would LOVE to see her bank account.

She deserves it. This song is a classic. It hasn’t aged despite the fact it has that retro 60s vibe to it. Bravo MC ??
Awesome
and wow if this lasts a couple weeks she’ll have 4 decades of number one hits
That’s my bish..
Congrats Mimi
Finally. Totally deserving. DON’T count her out for even more number 1s
But where’s Caution?
Payola & Sympathy
All dem #1s but J.Lo phone ringin? Lol. I guess having a personality, being a secure woman and giving genuine critique still trumps that!????
????
Bish where’s your #1 single?
It’s hard to get isn’t it!
Long live MC!!!
Congrats Queen!
Christmas. That time of the year where Mariah is kinda semi-relevant.
And you’re not kind of but most likely a hater?
She’s truly a queen and deserves this
Aaaaaw I’m so happy for you MiMi!!! Mariah is the truth! She definitely made history with this!
CONGRATS MARIAH WE LOVE YOU
19s for ’19. Old Town Road held #1 for a record-breaking 19 weeks, and All I Want for Christmas is You is now Mariah Carey’s 19th #1 hit . . . all in 2019. The chart purist and historian in me is loving this.
???
Congrats Mariah the queen of Christmas season
Awww congrats Mimi. Still breaking records 30 years into her career.
Congrats Mariah!
Nicki Minaj and her friend normani can never relate

Poor Sam, it must really hurt to see Mimi thrive like that.
