Mariah Carey has scored the No. 1 song in America again with her annual smash hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You" returning to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 this week.

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" lifts from No. 2 to the highest spot on this week's Hot 100 – the ranking of the most-consumed songs in the U.S. The cut has now ruled over the chart for 13 nonconsecutive frames.

The festive track first claimed the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 back in 2019. Prior to that, the holiday staple had been slowly rising on the chart, climbing higher every year. When it finally reached No. 1, the cut made history in several ways, and its ascent has since become an annual affair.

2023 now marks the 5th year in a row that "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has reached the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100. Such a performance has never been recorded by any other hit single in U.S. history.

For a while, it seemed like Carey might not get a turn on the Hot 100's summit this year. Before "All I Want for Christmas Is You" became the top tune in the country, it was beaten by another holiday smash. Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" finally hit No. 1 on the chart just a few weeks back, 65 years after its first release. 

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" makes its way to No. 1 on the Hot 100 as consumption of the tune esculates as the holiday mentioned in the song draws closer. The seasonal favorite racked up 42.2 million streams in the past tracking frame. It also sold 8,000 copies and earned 26.1 million radio impressions across the U.S.

Carey admits, "When I wrote (it), I had absolutely no idea the impact the song would eventually have worldwide. I'm so full of gratitude that so many people enjoy it with me every year."

Meanwhile, two other holiday classics have also returned to the Hot 100's top 10: The Ronettes' "Sleigh Ride" (14-8) and Dean Martin's "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" (12-10).
