Mariah Carey has retained her unofficial Queen of Christmas title…

The 54-year-old half-Venezuelan American Grammy-winning singer-songwriter’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” maintains its lead atop Billboard’s multi-metric Holiday 100 chart, which uses the same methodology as the Billboard Hot 100.

The track, released via Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings, drew 48.4 million streams (up 15%) and 31.7 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 21%) and sold 7,000 downloads (down 7%) in the U.S. December 15-21, according to Luminate, to also top the Hot 100 chart.

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” could conceivably hold on at No. 1 for another week, since the next tracking period will include Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” also rules as the top title on the Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs recap.

Mariah Carey is back in familiar territory…

Billboard’s Holiday 100 has returned to the charts menu, with the half-Venezuelan American Grammy-winning singer back at the summit.

Mariah CareyCarey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” rules the Holiday 100 for a 46th week of the chart’s 51 total weeks since the list launched in 2011; it has topped the tally for 31 consecutive weeks, dating to the start of the 2015-16 holiday season.

The Holiday 100 ranks the top seasonal songs of all eras via the same formula used for the Billboard Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay and sales data.

The only other Holiday 100 No. 1s to date are Justin Bieber’s “Mistletoe,” for a week in the 2011-12 holiday season; Pentatonix’s “Little Drummer Boy” (one, 2013-14) and “Mary, Did You Know?” (two, 2014-15); and Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me” (one, 2014-15).

Carey’s 1994 carol crowns all three Holiday 100 component charts (with all surveys dated Dec. 4): Holiday Streaming Songs (17.5 million U.S. streams, up 57%, in the Nov. 19-25 tracking week, according to MRC Data), Holiday Airplay (15.2 million audience impressions, up 87%) and Holiday Digital Song Sales (3,800 sold, up 42%).

The super mash-up of scenes from Friends uses dialogue from the beloved sitcom to have Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey sing Carey’s holiday hit.

While they don’t really “sing,” the insanely detailed editing job taps dozens of episodes to piece together the lyrics to the 1994 modern holiday classic which once again topped Billboard’s Holiday 100 for the week ending December 22, giving it 33 weeks at No. 1 on the tally.
