Mariah Carey's Christmas Anthem Reclaims Chart Crown?

Mariah Carey has officially announced the arrival of the holiday season with her annual "It's time" video, playfully hinting at the potential resurgence of her 1994 hit, "All I Want for Christmas Is You." This iconic track is set to challenge for the record of most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Last year, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" held the record with 22 weeks at the top. However, Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" later surpassed this achievement, currently holding the top spot.

Carey's festive video this year opens with a nod to her lesser-known musical past, featuring a clip from her 1990s project "Someone's Ugly Daughter" under the band name Chick, before transitioning into her signature Christmas imagery. This annual tradition of marking the holiday season's start with a video has become a fan favorite, with each year bringing a unique and creative theme.

As Halloween concludes, Christmas classics like Carey's song, Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," and Wham!'s "Last Christmas" are expected to dominate radio and streaming charts.
