25 years later, Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You hits No.1
Song previously peaked at No. 3
Christmas has come early for Mariah Carey: the pop star's original holiday classic, All I Want For Christmas Is You, has reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart 25 years after its release.
Billboard announced that the song topped this week's chart, giving Carey her 19th No. 1 of her career.
She is only behind the Beatles, who have had 20 songs top the Hot 100 chart.
Each holiday season Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You begins to climb the Billboard charts as its popularity resurfaces. Last year the song hit a peak at No. 3 and set a new one-day streaming record on Spotify.
All I Want For Christmas Is You is the first holiday track to top the Hot 100 chart since The Chipmunk Song in 1958-59.
The song is from Carey's 1994 album, Merry Christmas, which is currently No. 1 on the Billboard R&B albums chart.
Carey wrapped her All I Want for Christmas Is You Tour on Sunday at New York's Madison Square Garden. Earlier this month, Amazon Music also released a mini-documentary about the origin of the song.
