https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAkMkVFwAoo&pp
From January 7, the song spent 12 weeks on the chart, with one of those weeks at number one in 2023.
Carey's Christmas classic, first released in 1994, achieved the top spot in 2019 and has remained a holiday chart-topper ever since, accumulating 12 weeks at number one (to date).
She achieved her 19th top spot on the Hot 100, furthering her lead as the solo artist with the most number-one hits and bringing her closer to the record of 20 number-one singles currently held by The Beatles.
Since 1958, the Billboard Hot 100 has been tracking the most famous music, starting with "Poor Little Fool" by Ricky Nelson. Over 1,000 songs have since topped the chart, but the methodology used by Billboard has changed over time to keep up with the evolving music industry and technology.
Nielsen used to track sales from Monday to Sunday, but in 2015 they changed it to Friday to Thursday. During the early years of the charts, sales held more significance than radio airplay due to the prevalence of single purchases, which has since decreased in recent times.
In 1998, Billboard revised its regulations again, permitting a song to feature on the Hot 100 chart despite being solely available for airplay and not for sale. In 2007, Billboard began incorporating audio streaming data into the Hot 100 rankings, while YouTube video streams were included in the formula in 2013.
With 20 different chart toppers, The Beatles have set the record for the highest number-one hits. Mariah Carey closely trails behind The Beatles with 19 number-one songs. In 1995, Carey's duet with Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day," broke the record for the most weeks at number one with 16.
It held its position for over 20 years until it was equaled by "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, featuring Justin Bieber in 2017. However, it was eventually surpassed by Lil Nas X, whose "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus reigned supreme on the charts for 19 weeks in 2019.
The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" was crowned by Billboard as the greatest song of all time, despite only holding the number-one spot for four weeks. However, it shattered the record for the most weeks spent in the top 10, remaining in that elite tier for over a year.
