Mariah Carey's classic All I Want for Christmas Is You has seen off the competition on the Billboard Hot 100 once again.
The Christmas classic surged nine spots to No. 1 for a 15th total week atop the chart.
The 1994 hit makes its annual return to the singles charts with 38 million streams and 24 million radio airplay audience impressions, according to Luminate.
All I Want takes the top spot from Kendrick Lamar's Squabble Up, which ruled the 7 December chart, and reigns in a record-extending sixth holiday season. It was originally released on Carey's album Merry Christmas in November 1994.
The song made the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time in December 2017, and the top five for the first time in the 2018 holiday season. It hit the top spot over the holidays in 2019 (for three weeks), 2020 (two weeks), 2021 (three weeks), 2022 (four weeks) and 2023 (two weeks).
"When I wrote it, I had absolutely no idea the impact the song would eventually have worldwide," Carey marvelled in 2021. "I'm so full of gratitude that so many people enjoy it with me every year."
The song crowned Carey as the first artist to have ranked at No. 1 on the chart in four distinct decades - 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.
