"All I Want For Christmas Is You" Tops Holiday Songs

The holiday music season kicks off with Mariah once again topping the charts! In the chart dated October 26, 2013, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" leads Billboard's Holiday Digital Songs. 


"All I Want for Christmas Is You" has been lauded, with The New Yorker calling it "one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon". The song was commercially successful, reaching the No. 2 position on the singles charts of Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom, and the top 10 in several other countries. The song became the nineteenth-best-selling digital single of the 20th century, the highest-charting entry by a female or holiday song on the list. The Daily Telegraph hailed "All I Want for Christmas Is You" as the most popular and most played Christmas song of the decade in the United Kingdom. Rolling Stone ranked it fourth on its Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Songs list, calling it a "holiday standard." With global sales of over 12 million copies, the song remains Carey's biggest international hit, and one of the best-selling singles of all time.
