Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has been breaking records left and right in the past few years, and it’s showing no signs of stopping. This beloved holiday tune returned atop the Billboard Hot 100 for its 14th week, making history along the way.

With 48.4 million streams, 31.7 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 7,000 downloads, “All I Want for Christmas” easily soared back to No. 1, spending another Christmas atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

This marks the 14th non-consecutive week this song spent at No. 1, and this number is quite historic. Thanks to the success of this holiday hit, Carey became the only artist to score three No. 1 songs with 14 or more weeks atop the Hot 100 chart. “All I Want for Christmas” joins her previous chart-topping hits “One Sweet Day” ft. Boyz II Men and “We Belong Together”.

The rest of the Billboard Hot 100 for this week was just as festive as the No. 1 song. Holiday songs overtook the top 10, with the exception of Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” at No. 6. “All I Want For Christmas” was joined by Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”, Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock”, Wham!’s “Last Christmas”, and Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” in the top five.
