In the U.S., the song holds the #5 position with 1.8 million streams, signaling that Carey’s iconic Christmas appeal remains unmatched as the holiday season gets underway.
First released in 1994, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has become a perennial favorite, solidifying its status as one of the most successful holiday tracks of all time. Over the years, the song has broken streaming records, topped charts globally, and generated significant revenue through royalties and licensing.
The resurgence of Carey’s holiday hit coincides with festive promotions, including her ongoing “Merry Christmas” concert series and widespread social media campaigns celebrating the start of the Christmas season.
Fans Celebrate the “Queen of Christmas”
Carey’s fans, affectionately known as “Lambs,” have flooded social media platforms with praise, cementing her title as the “Queen of Christmas.” On Twitter, users expressed excitement and shared the song’s charting milestones:
- @LambForLife: “The Queen of Christmas is back! Nobody does it like Mariah Carey. 8.4M streams in one day? Iconic.”

The Legacy of a Holiday Masterpiece
“All I Want For Christmas Is You” has generated over $80 million in royalties since its debut and remains a staple of holiday playlists worldwide. The song’s widespread appeal spans generations, making it a cultural phenomenon that boosts holiday spirits and consumer spending.
In 2019, the track topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time—25 years after its initial release. Since then, it has returned to dominate the charts annually, reaffirming its place in music history.
Music analysts attribute the song’s success to its timeless melody, upbeat tempo, and Carey’s vocal prowess. “The song captures the essence of Christmas joy,” said Mark Simmons, a music industry analyst. “It’s no surprise that it continues to resonate with audiences year after year.”
