Holiday songs dominate Billboard Hot 100 with Mariah Carey at No. 1

The Billboard Hot 100 is dominated by holiday songs this week, with Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" at No. 1, followed by Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and Wham!'s "Last Christmas" at No. 3, marking its highest position ever. Carey's song has reclaimed the top spot earlier this season compared to last year, when Lee held it for the first two weeks. Wham!'s "Last Christmas" is celebrating its 40th anniversary, contributing to its rise in popularity. Ariana Grande's "Santa Tell Me" and Kelly Clarkson's "Underneath the Tree" are both aiming for their first top 10 placements. Meanwhile, Laufey debuts on the Hot 100 with "Christmas Magic," though its long-term impact remains uncertain.
