About this listen
Mariah Carey has spent the last few days doing exactly what a self proclaimed Queen of Christmas is born to do rewriting the record books and marketing calendar at the same time. According to Billboard and NPR her 1994 classic All I Want For Christmas Is You has just become the longest running number one in Hot 100 history with a 20th week on top a feat that breaks the all time record previously shared with Lil Nas Xs Old Town Road and Shaboozeys A Bar Song Tipsy. NPR notes chart analysts already calling the milestone borderline untouchable given the songs built in annual resurgence and Billboards tightened rules around long running nonholiday hits suggesting this is a career defining statistic that will follow Careys biography forever. American Songwriter and AXS TV report that Carey celebrated the news on Instagram posting a torch bearing holiday glam shot captioned Humbly taking back the torch 20 weeks at number one Im so grateful a triumphant nod to the longevity record she first held with One Sweet Day back in the 90s. In a Billboard News interview cited by AXS TV she joked that losing that earlier record felt like it was robbed from her and that the revenge came in the form of a Christmas standard that keeps coming back every December. While the charts fall at her feet the business machine is quietly resetting for 2026. ABCs Good Morning America reports that Carey has been officially announced as the headliner for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony at San Siro stadium with the Olympics and Milano Cortina Instagram accounts blasting a reel of Mariah purring Ciao get ready for Milano Cortina 2026 and See you in Milan in Italian. ABC Audio via Sunny 107 point 9 adds that she just wrapped her Christmastime in Las Vegas residency and that her Here For It All holiday special from Vegas is now streaming on demand part of a broader digital push. The music press from That Grape Juice to AXS TV notes that her recent Here For It All livestream pulled massive real time audiences on TikTok underscoring how a legacy diva is now treating livestream platforms as a global tour stop rather than an afterthought. Meanwhile late night television is still riding her seasonal ubiquity with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert teasing a Winter Olympics themed cold open built around All I Want For Christmas Is You signaling that for at least one more week Mariah Carey is not just soundtracking the holidays she is the story. Any rumors beyond these reported items about secret albums surprise collaborations or new residencies remain unconfirmed and should be treated as fan speculation not fact.
