Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' Looks Like It Just Broke Another Record

The 24-year-old song ruled the streaming charts this week.

Mariah Carey ’s popular Christmas hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is still a holiday juggernaut decades after its release.

The song from Carey’s 1994 album “Merry Christmas” soared to the No. 1 spot  on Spotify’s global top 200 chart on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Carey’s modern classic had 10.8 million streams on Monday, according to the streaming service. That’s more than the 10.4 million times listeners streamed “SAD!” by the late rapper XXXTentacion  on June 19, the day after he was killed. That had been a single-day record for Spotify, Billboard reported at the time .

Spotify did not immediately confirm whether Carey holds the new record.

The Grammy-winning singer couldn’t seem to believe the news .

“Wait... What?!” Carey wrote on Twitter.

Earlier this month, Carey’s hit became the highest-charting holiday song  in 60 years on the Billboard Hot 100.

“It never ceases to amaze me when this song re-emerges on the Billboard charts every year,” Carey told the publication.
