Hot 100: Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas’ Soars to #2

Published: Monday 7th Dec 2020 by Rashad

Mariah Carey seems poised to end the year just where she began it: at the top of the charts.

Since streaming started impacting chart placements, the popularity of holiday-themed music has been more accurately represented on the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200 due to its heavy consumption over the last two months of the year.

No artist has reaped the benefit of that update more than Carey, who has seen her enduring yuletide classic – ‘All I Want for Christmas’ – bound into the single chart’s upper half every year since the Billboard change.

Hitting #1 to historic measure at the end of 2019 (as we reported here), the tune is well on its way to doing so again this year.

Hopping from #14 on last week’s tally (as we reported here), ‘Christmas’ climbed to #2 on the refreshed Hot 100.

Held at bay from the top spot by 24kGoldn‘s Tik Tok-fueled hit, ‘Mood,’ the commercial performance of Carey’s tune was powered by an uptick in streams over Thanksgiving week – a trend expected to continue thanks to support from her recently unveiled Apple TV Christmas special.

    Christmas is the only time this tragic mulatto is relevant.

    Her voice checked out well over 20 years ago. Hang it up long back broad💀

    • Rashad December 7, 2020

      STFU. Mariah is timeless…when your favs like Camilla are long forgotten people will still be listening to this MC classic in 2057 along with Bing Crosby, Sinatra and Nat King Cole. Each generation moves on to current artists but each Christmas there is always nostalgia and Mariah will be played forever. Aside from maybe Wham Last Christmas and Darlene Loves Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) no other Christmas songs post 1960 have done that.

        That person commenting is not me

      • Rashad December 7, 2020

    • DC December 7, 2020

      Stfu your just mad cause u said body was ending at number 1 s*** ain’t even in top 10 what happened 😂😂😂

    • Tammi102 December 7, 2020

      Her voiced checked out 20 years ago yet the biggest hit song of her career came in 2005? Hmm….

  2. About that life December 7, 2020

    and you have never checked in a day of your life except for the H***** clinic, such a hateful p*** bucket.

  3. Dangerous Woman December 7, 2020

    Ariana replaced this wacko quadroon. We stan a true vocal queen.

    • Tammi102 December 7, 2020

      You’re not implying that Ariana is a better vocalist than Mariah are you? Because that would be absolutely silly. Maybe now since MC has gotten old. But 90s Mariah would sing circles around that girl.

      • Dangerous Woman December 7, 2020

        That was 30 years ago. Scram ugly!

      • Tammi102 December 7, 2020

        But don’t you think it’s a bit silly to compare the vocals of a 27 year old to that of a 50 year old? That doesn’t seem like a fair fight to me. Why don’t we compare Mariah’s voice at 27 (which would be 1997/98) and compare it to Ariana’s voice now?

      • I can’t December 7, 2020

        Ain’t that the truth. Ariana has never in her life outperformed a Mariah vocal. She doesn’t even have a song that’s widely regarded as an exceptionally challenging song to perform.

  4. OOPS December 7, 2020

    Unfortunately… Mariah will never have another #1 song after AIWFC
    Continue to break records tho

    • NS December 7, 2020

  7. stevej December 7, 2020

    I have loved the song since 1994 (and I never grow tired of it). With this year lacking in good & plenty; I really need it in 2020 🎄 🎅 🤶 🍪 🔔 💂‍♂️❤💚.

  8. Connie Smith December 7, 2020

    Great! I love Mariah! Merry Christmas!

  9. Toto December 7, 2020

    Alright now we need another Christmas hit from someone else

    • Miss saltsawl. December 7, 2020

      Plenty of artists have Christmas songs and albums coming out. Nothing is as timeless is AIWFCIY

  10. Moose’s Wig December 7, 2020

  11. UHoesFunny December 8, 2020

  12. Detruth December 8, 2020

    So how’s the 1 with Jhud and Ariana doing on the charts? Thought that 1 would be number 1.
