So, it comes as little surprise to see her enduring holiday song “All I Want for Christmas Is You” surge in streams on November 1-2.

In a quick video that she tweeted, Carey pronounced, “It’s time” for the holidays, with a clip of the carol serving as a soundtrack.

The song garnered 1.14 million on-demand streams in the U.S. on November 1 and 2 — up 160% compared to the 715,000 clicks it collected on October 30 and 31, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” nabbed 370,000 streams on October 30, and then 345,000 on October 31. On November 1, it blasted to 940,000, and then on November 2 it claimed 917,000 streams.

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” was released in 1994 as part of Carey’s first holiday album, Merry Christmas. The track eventually hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 2019 (becoming her 19th leader, the most among soloists).
