The Holiday 100 returns to Billboard‘s charts menu, ranking the top seasonal songs of all eras via the same formula used for the Billboard Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay and sales data.
Like a shiny ornament placed in its familiar, special spot atop a tree, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” rules the Holiday 100, for a 36th of the chart’s 41 total weeks since the list launched in 2011; it has topped the tally for 21 consecutive weeks, dating to the start of the 2015-16 holiday season.
The only other Holiday 100 No. 1s to date: 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).
