The legendary Mariah Carey continues to shatter records on the Billboard Hot 100. The 55-year-old superstar has reclaimed her position atop the Billboard chart—which monitors the most popular singles currently—with her signature festive track “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
This achievement represents the track’s 15th week in the premier position. Significantly, this accomplishment marks Carey’s 20th distinct year with a No. 1 single on the chart—extending a benchmark that remains unmatched by any other artist in the industry.
Carey’s Billboard Hot 100 dominance began in 1990 with “Vision of Love” and “Love Takes Time.” She maintained her chart supremacy annually from 1991 through 2000. The vocal powerhouse returned to the summit in 2005 with “We Belong Together.”
Her single “Don’t Forget About Us” claimed the top position during 2005 and 2006, while “Touch My Body” ascended to No. 1 in 2008. Since 2019, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has consistently reached the chart’s apex each year.
According to Billboard‘s documentation, her nearest rivals for this distinction include Paul McCartney, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, and Madonna—each achieving top placement in 10 different years. Paul secured seven additional years of No. 1 hits with The Beatles. Beyoncé garnered three more years at No. 1 with Destiny’s Child. Michael added another year through his work with the Jackson 5.
