Mariah Carey Rings in the Holidays by Topping ARIA Charts Yet Again

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” lighting up the ARIA Singles Chart.

The beloved holiday classic is back at No. 1 this week, continuing its reign as the ultimate festive anthem. Since its release in 1994, the track has evolved from a seasonal favorite to a chart-topping juggernaut, hitting No. 1 in Australia for the first time in 2018. This year marks its eighth cumulative week at the top, proving that Carey’s holiday magic never fades.

After a brief stint at No. 3 last week, the holiday hit once again nudged past Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” which landed at No. 2 and returning the chart every year since 2017. Joining the festive frenzy are Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” at No. 3, Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” at No. 4, and Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me” at No. 5, completing a holiday-dominated top five.

Meanwhile, over on the ARIA Albums Chart, Sabrina Carpenter’s breakout 2024 release, Short N’ Sweet, has reclaimed its spot at No. 1, marking the album’s seventh non-consecutive week in the top position and its first return since mid-October.

Michael Bublé’s perennial favorite Christmas wasn’t far behind, soaring from No. 9 to No. 2 as Australians embrace his crooning holiday classics.

SZA’s SOS has also found a resurgence, climbing to No. 4 thanks to its deluxe “Lana” edition, which adds fresh tracks, including the fan-favorite “Saturn.” Originally released in December 2022, SOS first reached No. 1 in early 2023 and has proven to have staying power, much like the holiday hits it’s sharing the charts with this week.

While Christmas classics dominate the singles chart, Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet has shown incredible staying power amidst the festive flurry.

As for Mariah Carey, her holiday dominance continues worldwide. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has also returned to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 this month, adding to its cumulative 13 weeks at No. 1. The festive anthem shows no signs of slowing down, much like the joy it brings to listeners year after year.
