The 2020 holiday season is unlike any in recent memory, but one tradition has remained: a lot of people listening to Mariah Carey's holiday classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" over and over again. The song, released 25 years ago, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time last year, and in 2020 the song has once again hit No 1. The song's latest ascent to No.1 marks the fourth week total that it has spent in the top spot, logging three weeks in 2019.
