Mariah Carey’s 1994 hit ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ tops Billboard Hot 100 for first time

The honor, which Billboard announced Monday, is a first for Carey's hit, which reached the No. 3 spot in December 2018 and again last week. The new ranking marks her 19th No. 1 song ever – the most for a solo artist, the magazine said. Among all acts, only the Beatles had more Hot 100 chart-toppers, with 20.

After learning of her achievement Monday, Carey took to Twitter to celebrate the news.

"We did it," she wrote to her 21.4 million followers.
