Mariah Carey, the Songbird Supreme, has once again made history with her holiday hit, “All I Want for Christmas is You,” topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a record-breaking 20 weeks. This achievement surpasses the previous record set by “A Bar Song (Tipsy) by Shaboozey” and Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road (feat. Billy Ray Cyrus).” Mariah previously held this record in 2019 with “One Sweet Day” alongside Boyz II Men for 16 weeks.
In celebration of this milestone, Mariah took to Instagram to share her gratitude, stating, “Humbly taking back the torch!! 20 weeks at #1… I’m so grateful ❤️.” Fans and friends flooded social media with congratulations and praise for the legendary singer.
The success of “All I Want for Christmas is You,” written and produced with Walter Afanasieff, dates back to its release on Oct. 29, 1994.

Mariah’s recent Las Vegas residency, “Mariah Carey’s Christmastime in Las Vegas,” and the release of her 16th studio album, “Here for It All,” have solidified her status as a music icon.
“Billboard” releases their Hot 100 chart on Mondays, with the full chart available on Tuesdays. Mariah’s latest achievement has once again solidified her place in music history, with fans and industry insiders alike celebrating her reign atop the charts.
