Christmas is coming early for Mariah Carey and fans.
The Pop diva, whose enduring holiday classic ‘All I Want for Christmas’ has become an anthem synonymous with the season’s arrival, has been burning up streaming and digital download platforms with the song since early November.
And, while the tune’s annual ascension on Billboard charts is by no means a surprise, now – just a day after learning its parent album, ‘Merry Christmas,’ cracked the Billboard 200’s top 10 again – the Walter Afanasieff-co-written cut has snipped out the competition to land at #3 on this week’s Hot 100 (mirroring last year’s re-peak).
25 years after its debut, ‘Christmas’ could claim Billboard’s top spot in the coming weeks. See what why inside:
Mariah Carey dashes 18-3 on the Hot 100 with “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” returning to its peak to-date first reached last holiday season (on the chart dated Jan. 5, 2019), when it became the first top-five holiday hit on the survey in 60 years.
It’s the highest-charting holiday song by a soloist in the Hot 100’s archives, bested overall in the category only by The Chipmunks’ “The Chipmunk Song” (with David Seville), which ruled for four weeks in 1958-59.
*****
Carey stands to become the first recording artist in history to nab a Hot 100 chart-topper with a holiday tune. If accomplished, the jump would not only be her 19th run atop the tally, but would also extend her reign as the Billboard Hot 100’s most successful female artist ever.

Mariah is so awesome. She and J. Lo are teachers and Camila is student
lmaooooo stop trying to make camiltoe happen. mariah & jlo dont associate with 50k flops lmfaooooooo
LMAO this delusional annoying person keeps trying it!!! I honestly refuse to listen to her music until week two just to help contribute it to flop. Seems like she is more of a singles artist, but I am honestly surprised her streaming isn’t any higher… This spells bad news for a lot of the other new pop girls coming out.
I hope it hits number 1!
Queen of ever green songs.
A song that will keep making u money after years of release.
Not many people have that
Havana sold an extra 1 million copies in 2019 alone.
A 2017 song did that.
A 2017 song outsold normani motivation in 2019.
?????
lamoooo but camilflop couldnt even sell 100k albums tho, why couldnt young thug’s song keep her from tanking lmfaoooooooo
I said what I said
???????
Stay pressed
Album about to debut In the top 5
Album already Grammy nominated
They hate to see it
This is why MC is the diva supreme. This song deserves to be her 19th #1 bc it’s beyond iconic…it’s timeless. People will still be listening to this ethereal bop in 2057 and beyond
Seems like its on Mariah to make that happen! Two weeks at number 3 means she should do a new remix to get it to number 1.
She will be #1 the last week of 2019 and first week of 2020 !
Extending her lead in so many accomplishments and records she holds
Sleigh ?
Mariah is THAT CHICK! Only she! Congratulations MC! ??
Queen Of Christmas! ?? ❄️ ⛄️ ?
OMG could it really happen? It would be one of those cases where it is kind of a tremendous satisfation. Like when some of these artists make a huge comeback or soemthing. In this case because it´s obvious this real classic deserves to be named #1 hit. Too many classics are not/were not #1s while too many crapp songs are. Plus it´s Mariah and would be her 19th. I mean… that could erase possibilities of some undeserving artists out there to get more #1s than her… ever.
simply incredible
Mariah is such a Queen! I hope this goes to #1!
Girls who scored a number one this year
Arianna Grande – thank u next, 7 rings.
Lizzo- truth hurts
Lad gaga- shallow
Camila Cabello – seniorita
Halsey- without me-
Selena -love you to love me
Billie eilish- bad guy
Can mariah join the list? Let’s wait and see
Normani nowhere to be found after all the hype. ????
girl eff your list. She hasn’t released her album yet, and if you compare Motivation to Crying in the Club, Motivation slayed it the eff out of the water.
My real question is if Normani gets a number 1 album and single, will you stop dragging her name in your dumb posts? it’s exhausting and also stupid because you seem to think the world revolves around 5H girls.. when nobody knows most of their names outside of Normani and Camila…
Waves is normani debut single and it didnt chart
Crying in the club charted and it is certified platinum.
Motivation is certified gold after all the hype and free promo
This is why she is Billboard’s #4 artist of all time and #1 female!!
LEGEND
Omg!! I am so excited I just know with all the streams and fans buying the’ All I want for Christmas is you ‘single, LP, cassettes and downloads it wil definitely surge to #1 this year!! So proud of Mariah right now ??????❤️???????Xx
Britney Spears should really promote her Christmas song, it has 100 million listeners on Spotify this year it just need a video & promotion
I didn’t even know she had one! Brintey just doesn’t care lol
A song with a life of its own. A song that wasn’t allowed to chart on Billboards Hot 100 upon it’s initial release 25 years ago….has gradually, after the rules have been changed, year after year, made its annual climb to it’s eventual crowning destiny…
YAAASSS MIMI WILL GO TO #1!!
~
not only will this remarkable song achieve the impossible this year, i predict it will become an ANNUAL EVENT!!
BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO MC & TO ALL THE LAMBS ?????️?️?️
♥????????♥
