What The Charts Show This Week
The current Billboard Hot 100 update confirms that All I Want For Christmas Is You has climbed back into the upper tier of the singles chart in the United States. The song typically resurfaces every holiday season, driven by strong streaming numbers and radio airplay across pop and adult contemporary formats.
Since streaming was added to the chart formula, Carey's 1994 release has become one of the most reliable December staples on the Hot 100. According to Billboard, the track eventually reached No. 1 for the first time in 2019, more than two decades after its original release.
