Celebrating the milestone, Mariah reposted Billboard's announcement on Instagram, expressing her gratitude with the caption, "This is amazing!!!! Will never ever ever ever ever take this for granted. Merry early Christmas!!!!"
“All I Want for Christmas Is You” is now just two weeks shy of tying the all-time record for the longest-running number one, held by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” at 19 weeks.
With the holiday season in full swing, it’s entirely possible Mariah’s classic could make history. If not, there’s always next Christmas!
