For the week ending December 25 (Christmas, duh), Mariah Carey’s signature hit, “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” has hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, up from the No. 2 spot last week.

It’s now the sixth week the flirty holiday favorite has held the top spot, the second time in 2021. It also hit No. 1 in 2019 and 2020.

Carey released the holiday song in October 1994, two days before Halloween. It has since earned Carey some $75 million in royalties. In 2020, the track topped ASCAP’s most-played holiday songs for the year. It currently has nearly a quarter of a billion streams on YouTube.

Earlier this month, on December 3, the song was certified Diamond for selling 10 million units. Leading to the question: who doesn’t love the song?
