Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas’ back at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
Twenty-five years after its release, Mariah Carey’s All I Want For
Christmas is back at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The song rose from its runner-up spot last
week to take the singles’ chart’s top spot for the second time, after hitting
the peak for the first time last year where it stayed for three weeks.
The
carol reached the summit spurred by 31.4 million streams in the United States,
up 19 per cent; 7,000 downloads, up eight per cent; and 27.1 million radio
airplay audience impressions, up 11 per cent.
Since
its release in 1994, All I Want For Christmas has had over four billion
total radio audience, one billion on-demand streams and 3.7 million sales
downloads in the US.
The track’s move to the top extends Carey’s run at No. 1 on the Hot 100
to 83 weeks, ahead of Rihanna who’s spent 60 weeks in the spot.
The song is also her 19th Hot 100 No. 1 song, the most among
solo artistes.
