Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” ties the all-time record with a 19th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, matching the 19-week reigns of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” (2019) and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (2024), Billboard announced December 8, 2025.
The 1994 holiday classic surged from No. 5 to No. 1 on the latest chart (tracking week ending December 12), powered by a 37% jump in radio airplay and 33.7 million U.S. streams. It has now led the Hot 100 in seven separate holiday seasons (2019–2025), the first song ever to do so, and extends Carey’s record for most total weeks at No. 1 by any artist (98 weeks).
With Christmas still more than two weeks away, the song is poised to potentially claim sole possession of the record before the season ends.
Carey, who co-wrote and co-produced the track, now has 19 career No. 1s—the most among solo artists and just one behind the Beatles’ all-time mark of 20.The current top five is entirely holiday-dominated:
- “All I Want for Christmas Is You” – Mariah Carey
- “Last Christmas” – Wham!
- “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” – Brenda Lee
- “Jingle Bell Rock” – Bobby Helms
- “Golden” – Huntr/x (non-holiday)
Originally released on Carey’s Merry Christmas album, the song took 25 years to reach No. 1 (December 2019), the longest climb in Hot 100 history at the time. It has since become a perennial billion-stream juggernaut and the defining modern Christmas standard.
