Mariah Carey has once again topped the Billboard Hot 100 with her timeless holiday hit "All I Want For Christmas Is You." The festive anthem, which has become a seasonal staple, marked its sixth consecutive year at number one, driven by its enduring popularity and Billboard's inclusion of streaming data since 2018. This achievement brings Carey’s total chart-topping singles to 19, solidifying her as the "Queen of Christmas."

However, the competition for the holiday chart crown has intensified. Brenda Lee’s classic "Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree" closely followed at number two, while Wham!’s "Last Christmas" secured the third spot. Bobby Helms’ "Jingle Bell Rock" and Burl Ives’ "A Holly Jolly Christmas" also landed within the top ten.

Despite the holiday music surge, some non-seasonal tracks continue to hold their ground. Kendrick Lamar’s “TV Off” and “Luther” with SZA remain in the top ten, while Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ collaboration “Die With A Smile” rounds out the list.

Mariah Carey’s ability to maintain dominance during the Christmas season underscores the enduring appeal of her 1994 hit. As the festive season unfolds, the music world watches to see if Carey will retain her position or face a potential challenge from other holiday classics vying for the spotlight.
