Mariah Carey Becomes First Woman to Have THREE Songs Reign Over the Hot 100 for 10+ Weeks

Mariah Carey‘s reign as the Queen of the Billboard Hot 100 shows no sign of stopping.

Already shining as the solo act with the tally’s most chart-toppers (19 as of time reported), the diva has spent the last 32 years hoisting an unrivaled number of record-breaking stats into the hitlist’s history books.

This week, thanks to the perennial domination of her holiday classic ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You,’ Carey’s unwrapped yet another unprecedented accomplishment.

Details inside.

Before Monday (December 19), only 42 songs in the Hot 100’s 64-year history had enjoyed runs at its summit that lasted longer than 10 weeks.  The refreshed edition of the hitlist shows ‘All I Want for Christmas’ coming in as the 43rd.

Here are the stats that powered its tenth #1 placement.

  • Streams: 41.4 million U.S.-based streams
  • Sales: 11,000 U.S.-based downloads
  • Radio airplay: 33.1 million radio airplay audience impressions

Among all the artists who have songs that have spent 10 consecutive or non-consecutive weeks atop the chart, only three can boast having three tunes with such lengthy tenancy:  Carey (‘One Sweet Day’ – 16 weeks, ‘We Belong Together’ – 14 weeks, and ‘Christmas’ – 10 weeks), Boyz II Men (‘End of the Road’ – 13 weeks, ‘I’ll Make Love to You’ – 14 weeks, ‘One Sweet Day’ -16 weeks), and Drake (‘One Dance’ – 10 weeks, ‘God’s Plan’ – 11 weeks, ‘In My Feelings’ – 10 weeks).

Also of note, topping this week’s Hot 100 comes as Mariah’s 89th print there – extending her reign as the artist with the most career weeks at #1 overall.
