The Queen of Christmas, music superstar Mariah Careymay be able to claim a coveted crown in just a few weeks!

Just after the diva’s annual holiday concerts ended, word comes that the singer has accomplished a huge feat on the Billboard charts – and if this persists, there’s a good chance she’ll set another record within the year future.

In what has become the norm in recent history, Carey currently holds the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts with “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” her 19th No. 1 hit.

The iconic holiday song – first released in November 1994 as the lead single from Carey’s “Merry Christmas” album – has now become the singer’s longest-running No. 1 song at 17 weeks, surpassing her previous achievement with 1995’s “One Sweet Day” featuring Boyz. II Men within a week.

The singer, who is in Tremble for the end-of-year holidays, shared some celebratory words on social media on Monday.

“It’s amazing,” she said of the headline-making moment on X/Twitter.

“I will never take this for granted. Merry Christmas in advance!”

Carey’s song has held this position for the past three weeks, matching a similar streak in 2019 and 2021. In 2022, the song held the top spot for a total of four weeks.

According to Billboardthis annual success comes from the song’s continued popularity on streaming music apps.

Coincidentally, Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” could help the Grammy-winning performer regain a stunning title she’s held for nearly three decades.

As it stands, country star Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” currently shares the title of Billboard’s longest-running No. 1 song with Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” with both songs dominating the Hot 100 for 19 times in a row. weeks in 2024 and 2019, respectively.

Before that, Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” held the record with their 16-week run and held the title for 23 years.

If Carey reaches the top spot twice in the coming weeks – which she has a good chance of doing – she would eventually reclaim that distinction. He would only need one more to succeed.

However, if she doesn’t, there’s a good chance she will during the 2025 holiday season.

Although she considers herself “forever 16,” Carey opened up about the longevity of her Christmas hit with the New York Times in November – the same month a 30th anniversary remaster of his album “Merry Christmas” was released.

“It’s really gratifying,” the singer said of people’s appreciation for the song, “and I’m just thankful and grateful for it and all the people who come up and say, ‘I love your music’ or ‘I’m listening to your Christmas music in July’ – that started to become a thing. I’ve always wanted to do that in my life, and now we can do it.

As the singer noted in her bestselling memoir “The Meaning of Mariah Carey,” her love of jovial vacations — which ultimately led her to write the song with collaborator Walter Afanasieff — was born from less-than-positive vacation memories. . with his family.

“I decided to create my own little magical, happy Christmas world,” she wrote. “I focused on everything my mother struggled to create; all I needed was a shower of glitter and a full church choir to back me up.

As further proof of this catchy song’s longevity, Carey has released not one or two but six official music videos for “All I Want For Christmas Is You” since 1994.

For starters, there’s the original cut released that year. Next up is a unique take from the 1960s filmed for the popular British music program ‘Top of The Pops’.

Next, we have the special “Make My Wish Come True Edition,” an updated 2019 version with appearances from Moroccan and Monroe Carey, the singer’s two children.
