Mariah Carey’s global appeal continues…

The 54-year-old half-Venezuelan American Grammy-winning singer’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has notched a record-extending 17th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart dated December 30.

Carey’s modern seasonal standard also tops the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a 12th frame. 

The single leads the Global 200 for a fourth consecutive week, with 115.3 million streams (up 12%) and 12,000 sold (down 2%) worldwide December 15-21. The song, originally released in 1994, spends a record-extending 17th week at No. 1, following four frames in both the 2020 and 2021 holiday seasons and five frames over last year’s holidays.

Meanwhile, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” concurrently tops the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a fourth week in a row, with 72 million streams (up 11%) and 5,000 sold (up 8%) outside the U.S. December 15-21.

The song tallies a 12th total week at No. 1, following one in the 2020 holiday season, three weeks the next year and four last season.

The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.
