‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ is back at No. 1 on the Hot 100, tying the longest run in chart history with 19 total weeks and topping seven separate holiday seasons. It also made Mariah Carey the first artist to land a No. 1 in four different decades. The business behind the song is just as dominant. Forbes estimates it generates $2.5–$3 million annually from royalties, streaming, and licensing, with total lifetime earnings reaching well into the tens of millions. CNBC places revenue north of $80 million, fueled by its annual return to playlists every December. The record-setting continues. It remains the only holiday song certified Diamond by the RIAA, now 16x Platinum, with more than 16 million copies sold. It was the first Christmas song to pass 2 billion Spotify streams, has hit No. 1 in 30+ countries, and holds multiple Guinness World Records.
