Mariah Carey is aiming to tie “Old Town Road” for the longest-running #1 hit ever.

Mariah Carey’s iconic holiday hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is on track to make a historic return to the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The song, which has become synonymous with the holiday season since its release in 1994, continues to dominate streaming platforms and radio airplay every December, cementing its status as a perennial favorite.

If Carey succeeds in reclaiming the top spot, the track would achieve 19 weeks at #1, tying the record for the longest-running chart-topper of all time. Currently, that record is held jointly by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”, making this a monumental milestone for the Queen of Christmas.

The resurgence highlights not only the song’s enduring popularity but also the evolving nature of music consumption, where streaming and social media play critical roles in determining chart positions. Carey’s ability to repeatedly climb the charts decades after a song’s release underscores her lasting influence in pop music and the universal appeal of her holiday classic.

With its catchy melody, festive spirit, and Mariah’s signature vocal brilliance, how can you not have “All I Want For Christmas Is You” on repeat, especially if you have a radio in the office.
