Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey has the No. 1 song in the country after a 25-year wait.
This marks Carey’s first time sitting atop the charts since her 2008 pop earworm “Touch My Body.”
Co-written by musician Walter Afanasieff and by a then 24-year-old Carey, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” was released in 1994 off her “Merry Christmas” album. It previously peaked at No. 3 on the charts in 2018. The modern Christmas classic now ranks as the highest-charting holiday song in over 60 years. Chipmunks’ “” is the only other holiday song to hold the title, previously topping the charts for weeks from 1958 to 1959.
Carey, who completed a limited-engagement All I Want For Christmas tour on Sunday night, has been doubling down on the season this year in an effort to boost the song’s prospects on the Billboard charts. Apart from a dynamic social media campaign that included the singer ushering in the Christmas cheer on the first day of November, she’s also dropped unseen footage from the original music video, rereleased a deluxe anniversary edition of the “Merry Christmas” album and, in which she revealed the hit only took her an hour and a half to write.
