Every year during the holiday season, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” becomes the go-to anthem of the season. This year, the earworm broke Spotify’s single-day streams record.
Mariah thanked her fans in a tweet on Christmas day while quoting a tweet from Chart Data announcing that the song had broken the record of single-day streams with over 17 million streams.

“WOW I know people think I’m making “coin” (lil’ secret: artists make very little from streams), but the real reason I’m sitting here in astonishment & gratitude is seeing the joy this little song I wrote brings to people. THANK YOU & MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!” the R&B singer wrote.
The song, first released in 1994, has become a holiday staple and made Mimi synonymous with Christmas. This year Mariah debuted her “Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special” on Apple TV+, featuring Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson.
