Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” shines atop the Billboard Hot 100’s highest bough for a record-extending 22nd week, leading a record parade of holiday hits from the top of the chart on down. Seasonal songs claim the top 24 positions on the survey, surging past the prior mark of carols taking Nos. 1-16 a year ago this week (on the chart dated Jan. 4, 2025).
Helping the haul of holiday songs, the latest chart’s data tracking period encompassed the week leading up to and including Christmas Day (Dec. 19-25).
Three weeks earlier, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” returned to No. 1 on the Hot 100 to rule in a record-extending seventh holiday season. It was released on Carey’s album Merry Christmas in November 1994 and, as streaming grew and holiday music became more prominent on streaming services’ 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 four weeks this season, over the holidays in 2019 (for three weeks), 2020 (two), 2021 (three), 2022 (four), 2023 (two) and 2024 (four). (Older holiday songs are eligible to appear on the chart each season.)
Below is a rundown of the upper reaches of this week’s very merry Hot 100.
The 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 Jan. 3, 2026) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Dec. 30. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
