“All I Want for Christmas is You” dethroned as No. 1 on Billboard charts

The queen of Christmas has been dethroned. Billboard said Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has been replaced on the Global 200 chart by an ’80s classic. “Last Christmas” by Wham! reached the No. 1 spot on the chart, Billboard said. This marks the first time another holiday song besides Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has topped the chart since its launch in September 2020. Billboard said Carey’s 1994 classic has topped the Billboard Global 200 chart for a record total of 19 weeks since December 2020. Earlier this month, “Last Christmas” reached its highest-ever position on the Billboard Hot 100 and Holiday 100 charts, at No. 2, behind “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
