I know it’s technically true, but I have an issue with saying this is a 2021 #1 chart when it’ll be receiving very little points in the last few days of 2020, let alone the first days of 2021. Still, great to see this at the top of the charts once again! Lol I’m sure she’ll do it again next year. Wouldn’t it be something if she reclaims her Longest #1 on the Hot 100 with this song?!

Still, great to see this at the top of the charts once again! I know it’s weird but Billboard goes by the date they publish the charts and this week’s points are for the 1/2/20 chart. They see it as the first official chart of 2021. They do things that are odd, like making their year-end ranking cut off date in November and not December.

My sense is that until Billboard changes a rule that impacts its ability to go #1, then she’ll likely keep giving us Christmas promotion to keep the song popular as she racks up weeks at the top. She’s clearly a chart watcher and tracker, so that must be on her and her camp’s radar of next accomplishments.

Christmas cookies, doing Billy on the Street, etc don't have anything to do with keeping "AIWFCIY" at #1. Holiday songs have shown they don't even need promo to do well.

There was a shift from just general Christmas specials and concerts, to really honing in on AIWFCIY itself. Like us, who began noticing that there was a chance of it gaining the #1 spot the year before it happened, and then re-gaining it this year, I'm sure her camp noticed to. We'd be fools to think they didn't see that coming, and now they have plans in place to continue to focus on the song's peak each year.

We'd be fools to think they didn't see that coming, and now they have plans in place to continue to focus on the song's peak each year. There was no specific promo for "AIWFCIY" this year, though. The Apple special was a general holiday special, of course. She did interviews to promote that special. She did the Elle thing to promote the special as well. None of those things promoted "AIWFCIY" in particular. She added "JTTW" to one of her quarantine performances, but we never got an "AIWFCIY" performance from home. There was obviously the new version of "Oh Santa." Obviously last year had some specific promo for "AIWFCIY" to recognize the anniversary and make a push to finally get it to #1, but that all was specific to last year. Plus she also promoted the anniversary of Merry Christmas and there was a deluxe edition for it, so even then the promo went beyond "AIWFCIY."

She’s keeping up with being named the Queen of Christmas. It has become a brand for her. It’s not really so much about putting out promo for AIWFCIY. She knows she doesn’t really need to do much when it comes to that song. I don’t even remember the last time AIWFCIY was discounted.

I essentially agree with this article. While yes, she's marketing herself now as the Queen of Christmas, there was a very concerted effort to get AIWFCIY to the top of people's Christmas playlists. Going forward, I'm sure the team will have more up their sleeve to keep attention to the song itself alive. junkee.com/mariah-carey-christmas-song/281894

Posting this AIWFCIY throwback from last year. This billboard was brilliant.

Happy New Year guys! Here’s to a healthy and joyful 2021! Cheers for the recap, mate! Words can't express the happiness I felt when I heard Scott Mills call it the No.1 record in the U.K. on Radio 1. The ACR (Accelerated Chart Ratios) rule couldn't keep "All I Want for Christmas is You" from No.1 anymore, even king George managed a week at No.1 with "Last Christmas."

What a freakin monster of a song this is. I was really impressed that it shot up to #14 when it did! I hope this trend continues for as long as possible, but at least until she reclaims the most weeks at #1 for a song on Hot 100 record. December is hers now!
