Another year, another record from the 'Queen of Christmas', Mariah Carey. The 52-year-old's 1994 classic, 'All I Want For Christmas Is You', continues to make music history.
Billboard has revealed that the Grammy Award winner is now the only artist in history to spend 90 cumulative weeks at the top of the Hot 100 chart.
Her popular Christmas song spent three weeks at #1 this Festive Season. The single is also leading the Global 200 chart.
"I can’t even handle this news. I’m jumping up and down in the snow..! meanwhile Cha Cha is swimming around and Mutley is howling like a kid running around in circles feeling our energy," Mariah wrote on Instagram.

Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' has topped the charts every December since 2019.
The song has spent a total of 11 weeks at No.1 since its release 28 years ago. Carey's number one hits include 'Fantasy', 'One Sweet Day', 'Honey', and 'Dreamlover'.
Her record breaking 90th week at the top of the Hot 100 puts her way ahead of other music superstars.
Her closest competitor is Rihanna, who has spent a total of 60 weeks at #1 on the chart. The Beatles (59), Drake (54), Boyz II Men (50), and Usher (47) are right behind her.
But we doubt anyone will catch up with the 'Queen of Christmas' anytime soon!
