\n\tMariah Carey<\/a>\u2018s \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d adds a record-extending<\/a> 21st week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tCarey claims her unprecedented and milestone 100th career week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, having accumulated her haul over 19 leaders, dating to her first, \u201cVision of Love,\u201d in 1990. Rihanna ranks second with 60 weeks at No. 1, followed by The Beatles (59) and Drake (56).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d secures another notable record as it logs its 78th week on the Hot 100, surpassing Dua Lipa\u2019s \u201cLevitating\u201d as the longest-charted title ever by a woman artist.<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo weeks earlier, \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d returned to No. 1<\/a> on the Hot 100 to lead in a record-extending seventh holiday season. It arrived on Carey\u2019s album Merry Christmas in November 1994 and, as streaming grew<\/a> and holiday music became more prominent<\/a> on streaming services\u2019 playlists, it first hit the top 10 in December 2017 and the top five in the 2018 holiday season. It led at last, prior to its three weeks this season, over the holidays in 2019<\/a> (for three weeks), 2020 (two), 2021 (three), 2022 (four), 2023 (two) and 2024 (four). (Older holiday songs are eligible<\/a> to appear on the chart each season.)<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, holiday hits light up the Hot 100\u2019s top nine spots, with Bobby Helms\u2019 \u201cJingle Bell Rock\u201d galloping to a new No. 2 best and seasonal songs by Nat \u201cKing\u201d Cole and Kelly Clarkson also rising to new highs.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Dec. 27) will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, Dec. 23. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.

\n\tThe single holds for a record-extending 25th week atop the Streaming Songs<\/a> chart; dashes 23-15 on Radio Songs<\/a>, where it has hit a No. 7 best; and stays at No. 5 on Digital Song Sales<\/a>, following six weeks on top.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d concurrently tops Billboard\u2019s multimetric Holiday 100<\/a> chart for a 70th week, of the chart\u2019s 78 total weeks since the survey originated in 2011.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt leads the Holiday Streaming Songs, Holiday Airplay and Holiday Digital Song Sales charts concurrently for the first time this season, and triples up as the top Yuletide title in all three metrics simultaneously for a record 28th time. Since the three charts began coexisting in December 2013, no other song has led them all at the same time even once.<\/p>\n

\tHelms Hits New High<\/p>\n

\n\tBobby Helms\u2019 1957 release \u201cJingle Bell Rock\u201d giddyaps 4-2 on the Hot 100, besting its prior No. 3 peak.<\/p>\n

\n\tHelms, who died in 1997, has a new highest career Hot 100 rank, with \u201cJingle Bell Rock\u201d matching Wham!\u2019s \u201cLast Christmas\u201d \u2014 which reached a new No. 2 high<\/a> two weeks ago \u2014 as one of only five holiday songs ever to have made the chart\u2019s top two. The other three have hit No. 1: \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d; \u201cThe Chipmunk Song,\u201d by the Chipmunks with David Seville (for four weeks, beginning in December 1958); and Brenda Lee\u2019s fellow 1958 classic \u201cRockin\u2019 Around the Christmas Tree\u201d (three weeks in the 2023 holiday season).<\/p>\n

\t\u2018Christmas\u2019 (& \u2018Ophelia\u2019) in Rest of Top 10<\/p>\n

\n\tLee\u2019s \u201cRockin\u2019 Around the Christmas Tree\u201d dips 2-3 on the Hot 100; Wham!\u2019s \u201cLast Christmas,\u201d from 1984, descends 3-4; and Ariana Grande\u2019s 2014 single \u201cSanta Tell Me\u201d keeps at its No. 5 high.<\/p>\n

\n\tNat \u201cKing\u201d Cole\u2019s \u201cThe Christmas Song (Merry Christmas to You)\u201d ascends 8-6 on the Hot 100, marking a new high for the track that he first recorded in 1946. It\u2019s the late legend\u2019s highest placement since the chart dated June 29, 1963, when the opposite-themed \u201cThose Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer\u201d climbed to its No. 6 peak.<\/p>\n

\n\tKelly Clarkson\u2019s \u201cUnderneath the Tree\u201d rises 9-7 for a new Hot 100 best. The 2013 release is her highest charting song since \u201cStronger (What Doesn\u2019t Kill You),\u201d which ruled for three weeks in winter 2012.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe late Dean Martin\u2019s \u201cLet It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!,\u201d from 1959, reenters the Hot 100\u2019s top 10 (11-8), after reaching No. 7, and the late Andy Williams\u2019 \u201cIt\u2019s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,\u201d released in 1963, lifts 10-9, after hitting No. 5.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, Taylor\u00a0Swift\u2019s nonseasonal \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d falls 7-10 on the Hot 100 after spending its first eight weeks at No. 1 beginning in October, having tied \u201cAnti-Hero\u201d as her longest-leading career hit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mariah Carey\u2018s \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d adds a record-extending 21st week at No. 1 on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[2645,146,2646,85,46,409,1098],"class_list":["post-199215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-chart-beat","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-pop","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-music","tag-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
