Mariah Carey has officially taken back her torch, reclaiming the record for the most weeks at No. 1 in Billboard Hot 100 history with her timeless holiday anthem “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” now standing tall at 20 weeks. It’s a full-circle moment for an artist whose voice and vision have shaped decades of pop culture.
The record had briefly slipped from her grasp in 2019 when Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” surged to dominance, but Mariah’s return proves something deeper than chart math — longevity powered by cultural tradition. Each December, the song doesn’t just stream; it reawakens memories, rituals, and generations of listeners who press play like clockwork.
In an era driven by virality and fast fades, Mariah’s resurgence is a masterclass in timeless artistry and emotional connection. As the holidays roll around once again and the charts bend to her will, the question remains: is there any modern hit that can truly outlast a song that’s become part of the season itself?
