Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for the first time since the song was released 25 years ago.
Carey’s milestone was announced on Monday by Billboard on Twitter. “@MariahCarey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is officially No. 1 on the #Hot100 for the first time this week, 25 years after its release,” the account wrote.
The post added that the song spent 34 total weeks on the Hot 100 chart before reaching the top spot, positioning it as the “longest climb in the history of the chart.” Los del Rio previously held the record with “Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)” with 32 total weeks charting before hitting No. 1.
Mariah is currently teasing a brand new music video for her “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” which is now her 19th No. 1 single.
Meanwhile, Billy Eichner was joined by Mariah for a holiday special of his hit series Billy on the Street.
During the episode, Billy and Mariah celebrated the 25th anniversary of “All I Want for Christmas is You” by going up to unsuspecting fans on the streets of New York and quizzed them on the lyrics. The queen of Christmas also speaks Swedish, hugs some flustered fans, and fixes a broken Christmas tree during the show.
Billy and Mariah’s union comes after Mariah praised Billy on the Street after it was released on Netflix last month.
Carey also performed a sold-out Christmas-themed show at Madison Square Garden which Schitt’s Creek’s Dan Levy called “the greatest two hours of my life.” Fans were so hyped up they started a subway sing-along across the platform from one another afterwards.
