Mariah Carey has been shattering records over the last month and is continuing said trajectory into 2020.
However, this time it’s of a different variety.
For, after spending three weeks at #1 with ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You,’ Mimi has made history attached to the song’s drop from the top spot.
Full story below…
Billboard have revealed that, with the holidays in rearview Carey’s classic now has the distinct stat of marking the first time a song has dropped from #1 to totally off the tally.
It doing so, it snatches said title from The Weeknd, whose recent #1 ‘Heartless’ dropped from #1 to #17.
Ever playful, Mimi responded with:
Worth it haaa another record! ? https://t.co/lUlcSXvH2c pic.twitter.com/LLcqDU2qVb

Got to love her!
And why wouldn’t she be humorous with it. After all, she scored her 19th #1, nabbed three weeks at the top, and became the first artist in history to achieve #1s in four different decades.
A Queen!
That’s what happens when you’re an irrelevant flop who’s only useful for Christmas.

Miss Piggy looks nice in that gif!
We rarely argue with those who are in denial of greatness. No matter what Mariah has sold in the recent years…….. She is a RECORD BREAKER. SHE is your Favorite artist’s artist. ALL THE NEW GIRLS LOVE MARIAH. So that makes you…………
Doesn’t matter. She made history n got her annual lifetime coin
Oh she will be back honeyyyy., snatching wigs and scalping all your favs this coming December and collect her coins and you peasants shall deal.
As if that’s something to brag about when people only care for you on Christmas LMAO
Exactly, I don’t see anything worth celebrating about plummeting off the charts after one week, only to be totally gone from the charts for another year.
Mariah Carey and The Weeknd….a legend and future legend, your faves could never lol ??????
lmaoooo yeah my faves dont flop off the charts after 1 week lmfaooooo
@???, who do you Stan for? Nicki Minaj? Homegirl doesn’t even SEE #1, let alone get one ? ??
Lmao, only the dumb ass lambs would celebrate their fave flopping completely off the charts after 1 week, now let’s see if she can get on the charts in April or July lmaooooo
She was #1 for three weeks, dumb assssss ???
It was number 1 for 3 weeks.
19 #1 hits later, not everyone has that to their credit dahling.
??? Not everyone even has a number 1! She is definitely a historic artist for sales, singles and albums! Anyone saying anything different is simply hating!
It’s a Christmas song… totally makes sense. Who’s still playing it now? She’s a legend… nothing and no one can take that from her. Periodt
Uhhhh Christmas is over duhhhh
A Christmas song falls off the charts after the Christmas season… groundbreaking.
It went #1 due to streaming, right? Who the hell is streaming Christmas, after Christmas? NO ONE! lol
Fact is, y’all said she would never have another number one, and BOOM POW, Mariah gets a New number, with a song that came out 25 years ago. That’s the real kiikii!
Y’all keep counting this Legend out and her rich ass keeps making you all simple mad. Just stop and get on the respect train. It’s a more peaceful place
Its hilarious seeing people trying to come for Mariah for this happening lol!
The absolute lack of knowledge of stans these days is deplorable.
And imaging spanning 30 years of a career and people still choosing words like irrelevant to describe you….in your 30th year!!!!!! Someone make it make sense!
Just the power of her being able to still corner a part of the market in the music industry is legendary! Name another singer in their 30th year who has managed to come even close to doing what she is doing!
I’LL WAIT!
Its a holiday song! Thats what they do after the holidays. I would bet my soul that it will be back on there at years end!
Sure Mariah’s career isn’t like in the 90s. But look at how many of her peers from that decade are still around and active…
Jeez, younger artists don’t even manage to stay relevant for more than 5 years or so.
Nobody can take away her accomplishments nor her talent. And don’t forget she wrote/co-wrote 18 of those 19 #1s.
Sure it’s easy to criticize but once you accomplish even a quarter of what she’s done, maybe you can start talking.
As far as I’m concerned, I wish she had never created that diva persona because it totally killed her career. Especially on a international scale, on top of the fact her sounds became more urban. Which I don’t mind on that part.
I also which she wouldn’t overproduce her vocals on every song and sometimes just sing for real with one layer and a few adlibs.
to call an xmas song a flop after 3 weeks at the top during the holiday season is reaching . it’s a holiday song ppl, get your seasons right.
She’ll probably go number 1 next year again. Then that’ll be another record set for her.
Looking forward to December when the song will ‘sleigh’ again…. ?
