All I Want for Christmas (is You)

This is the number one Christmas song of all

time. (Sorry, Last Christmas!)

Every single year since the Billboard holiday

chart — which includes airplay, sales, and (as of

this year) streaming — was introduced in 2011,

"All I Want for Christmas is You" has easily been

at the top.

This year, it hit no. 1 in the second week of

December, even earlier than usual. It’s only

getting more and more popular as time goes by.
