On Monday, December 23, the singer, 55, reposted a photograph of herself that had been shared on Billboard’s Instagram after discovering that her festive hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” had topped their Hot 100 chart for a record 17th overall week.

They also shared that “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — which leads the Hot 100 for a third straight week this holiday season — also has the third-longest stretch of dominance in the chart’s 66-year history.

The record-breaking number debuted in 1994 on Carey’s Merry Christmas album.

According to Billboardit first appeared in the top 10 on their Hot 100 chart in December 2017, before breaking into the top five a year later. In 2019, it topped the charts during the holiday season for three weeks.

The song has been popular ever since. It spent two weeks on top in 2020, three weeks in 2021, four weeks on top in 2022 and two weeks ruling in 2023.
