Mariah Carey Is The First Artist To Top Billboard Chart In Four Decades

Pop diva Mariah Carey has had a long list of hits over the years, but her classic holiday song has helped her make history as the first artist to top the Billboard charts in four separate decades.

 

“All I Want For Christmas Is You” is number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week dated 4th January 2020, based on sales, radio airplay and streaming data — its third week atop the rankings.

 

That means Carey has had a number one single in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.

 

The bubbly, ubiquitous holiday tune first released in 1994. It gained new fame after its inclusion on the soundtrack for the 2003 film, “Love, Actually.”

But it only topped the charts for the first time in late 2019, thanks to a change in Billboard’s rules as to what can be included on the top songs list.

Carey dropped a new video for it — which counts towards Hot 100 placement — and released the song as a stand-alone CD single for the first time.

 

This is her 19th number one hit, according to Billboard. It puts her just one song behind The Beatles’ overall record of 20 top songs.

 

The singer was low-key about her history-making achievement. Carey will, however, not confirm whether her age is 49 or 50. This is because she says, “Time is not something I acknowledge.”

 

“Yaaaaaaaaay!!! WE. DID. IT,” Carey wrote on Twitter, with a stream of champagne and party emojis. “But… what’s a decade?”
