American singer-songwriter known for her five-octave vocal range, Mariah Carey has once again made history by setting a new record for the most Spotify streams in a single day.
The festive classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, released in 1994, was streamed a staggering 23,701,697 times on Christmas Eve, breaking her previous record of 21,273,357 streams from last year’s Christmas Eve.
Mariah has been in a “Queen of Christmas” battle with Brenda
Lee this year, and for the first time since Mariah’s reign began, Brenda
snagged the number 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 for one week during the
lead-up to Christmas.
Carey’s song appeared on her album “Merry Christmas,” and
has long received widespread play on radio and in retail shopping environments
during the holiday season.
In 2019, Carey was honored by Guinness World Records after
her 1994 hit holiday track.
The Guinness World Records organization announced on their
website that the Pop Star has set three world records with her Christmas
classic.
The song broke the record for highest-charting holiday
(Christmas/New Year) song on the Billboard U.S. Hot 100 by a solo artist.
