Mariah Carey Got Her 19th #1 Hit, Hits the Street With Billy Eichner
Just in case you needed another reminder that Mariah is the absolute QUEEN of Christmas!
It took 25 whole freakin' years, but it finally happened—Mariah Carey's ultimate pop Christmas bop "All I Want for Christmas Is You" finally hit the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 music chart!
\u201cWe did it \ud83d\ude2d\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc11\ud83c\udf84\ud83e\udd8b\u201d— Mariah Carey (@Mariah Carey) 1576519223
The track, which was originally released in 1994 as part of the singer's Merry Christmas album, has become an undeniable holiday classic for the past three decades and, as Billboard points out, is Mimi's 19th #1 hit. Yup, you read that right. NINETEENTH. Mariah already held the record for most #1s for a solo artist in history with 18 #1s, but adding AIWFCIY to the list of her other chart-topping singles (the likes of which include "Hero," "One Sweet Day," "Honey," and "We Belong Together") cements her already legendary status as a living music icon!
As if that wasn't enough good news for all the Lambs out there, Mariah also decided to continue to spread some of her holiday cheer throughout the streets of New York City with queer comedian Billy Eichner for his Billy on the Street series—and the results were hilarious AF.

Billy, like a lot of other stans, also took time to congratulate Mariah on her Hot 100 chart accomplishment!

Just in case you need reminding, Mariah is the total, absolute, undeniable QUEEN of all things Christmas!
