“This is amazing!!!! Will never ever ever ever ever take this for granted,” Carey wrote Monday on her Instagram tales, which featured Billboard’s publish concerning the longest Sizzling 100 reign. “Merry early Christmas!!!!”

The ever present “All I Want for Christmas Is You” additionally led the the Sizzling 100 chart for a 3rd consecutive week this vacation season, Billboard stated, claiming the third-longest run within the chart’s 66-year historical past. (At No. 1 are the 19-week runs for Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” this yr and the 2019 report set by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” that includes Billy Ray Cyrus.)

Carey’s Guinness World Document-setting single hailed from her first vacation album, “Merry Christmas,” which she launched in 1994 (and reissued this yr for its thirtieth anniversary). It was the primary Christmas music she ever wrote, and it got here on the nascent of her profession. However the December single — an uptempo, longing love music set at Christmastime — instantly shot up the charts and by no means went away, returning every vacation season and “lodging in the world’s collective unconscious like no Christmas song in at least half a century,” in response to a earlier Occasions report.

“This is going to sound like I’m making it up or whatever, but it really did come from a place of wanting to write something that felt like Christmas,” Carey informed The Occasions in 2020. “It wasn’t just like, ‘Oh, we’re going to put some sleigh bells on this record. Or, I’m going to talk about snow.’ I mean — of course I do talk about lots of Christmasy stuff in that song! But I was trying to do something a little different. I wanted to think of everything that made me feel in the holiday spirit. I was casting my mind back. What are the things I wanted out of Christmas as a kid?”

The octave-leaping world celebrity, already some of the profitable recording artists of all time, rolled with it, releasing new variations of the established hit and performing it reside throughout varied platforms during the last three a long time.

The 55-year-old artist beforehand informed The Occasions that she began writing the music by sitting at a piano and “plucking out notes,” which was uncharacteristic for her.

“I was just sitting there, coming up with this melody, in a dark house with a Christmas tree,” she stated, including that she collaborated with “Hero” and “My All” co-writer Walter Afanasieff for the melody and bridge.

“We wanted it to feel classic. I didn’t want it to feel ’90s. It probably feels ’90s now to people who are nostalgic about the ’90s. But in the ’90s, it was something different… I wanted this to have a different feel. I wanted it to be, you know, timeless. And to feel festive. The background vocals are a really important part of the song. It was an incredible group of singers. I stacked my own vocals in there. We were having the best time in the studio. It sounds corny, but I think you can hear it on the record.”

And really a lot so in all of the information it has set.

Occasions pop music critic Mikael Wooden and freelancer Jody Rosen contributed to this report.
