Mariah Carey already held the record for the most weeks spent at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but she has put it even further out of anyone else's grasp by claiming a 93rd week on top, thanks to "All I Want for Christmas" continuing its annual reign again this week.
The song is No. 1 on the Hot 100 for the second straight week, after it ceded its usual recent spot atop the chart to Brenda Lee‘s "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" for two weeks in the first part of December.
Of Carey's 93 weeks on top, 14 of those have been with her Christmas tune, counting this latest addition. The current Hot 100 includes data for the chart week that ended December 21 - meaning Carey has a strong shot at being on top again on the next chart, too, given that it will include results for four more days leading up to and including Christmas.
Billboard reminds the world that Carey's "Christmas" never reached No. 1 until five Christmas seasons ago, 15 years after its first release; it has reached the summit every year since. Its peak streak during a single season came last year, when it reigned at No. 1 for four weeks.
