Moise Kean claims he will dominate scoring and music charts

In December 2024, Mariah Carey reached the top of the U.S. Hot 100 chart once again with her holiday classic, "All I Want for Christmas Is You." The song's resurgence has led to it tying with Harry Styles' hit, "As It Was," for a total of 15 weeks at the No. 1 position on the chart, marking an especially competitive time for the rankings as seasonal music permeates the list. During this festive period, it is common for holiday songs to dominate the chart, making it difficult for other tracks to maintain their ranks. Harry Styles originally achieved his record with "As It Was" in 2022, a single that not only debuted at number one but also fluctuated back to the top multiple times throughout the year, accumulating a total of 15 weeks in the leading position. This year, despite facing competition from newer hits, Carey’s timeless holiday anthem has regained its stronghold, illustrating both the enduring popularity of her music and the seasonal boost it receives each December. The chart is experiencing a notable shift as Carey’s classic takes over once more. This not only solidifies her legacy as one of the leading figures in pop music but it also highlights the impact of Christmas songs on the Billboard rankings. Historically, holiday tracks tend to see a significant rise in streams and downloads, contributing to their positions on the chart during this time of year. Now, as the chart stands, both Carey and Styles have spent 15 weeks at number one, firmly placing them among the longest reigning leaders in Hot 100 history. They are only behind the records set by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus with "Old Town Road," and Shaboozey with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," which both led for 19 weeks. As interest in holiday music is expected to continue for a few more weeks, there is speculation on whether Carey might surpass her own previous records or if another new single will dethrone her, returning the chart back to mainstream artists.
