WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Guess who’s back in the Billboard Top 100?
If you guessed Mariah Carey, you’re correct. Her hit, “All I Want For Christmas is You,” is back on the charts as of Tuesday.
It’s already shot up to #16 on the charts, right behind “APT.” by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars. On the Global 200 chart, it’s already at #9.
It’s not the first Christmas song to enter the chart, though. Wham’s “Last Christmas” appeared on the chart again this week at #38. It’s since moved up to #24.
They’re not alone on the charts. Brenda Lee’s 1958 classic “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” is one spot ahead of Wham at #23, while Andy Williams’ “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” is #47 and Burl Ives’ “A Holy Jolly Christmas” is #48.
“All I Want For Christmas is You” has appeared in the #1 position for five consecutive years between 2019 and 2023, the most for any song. It has reached #1 a total of six times.
Over the years, the song has become cemented in popular culture, spawning numerous memes. Carey has even gotten in on the act herself.
For the second year in a row, she posted another tongue-in-cheek video on her social media on Nov. 1.
