The 1994 Christmas classic has also earned 16x Platinum certification from the RIAA, solidifying its status as one of the most successful holiday songs ever recorded. Carey expressed her gratitude, stating, "I'm honored to have 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' be the first holiday track on Spotify to reach two billion streams!"

Recent streaming data shows remarkable growth:

  • Global streams increased by 860% since November 1
  • U.S. streams surged by 1,100% in the same period
  • The song topped Spotify's Daily Top Songs chart in 21 countries
  • Maintains its position as the top Christmas song since 2016

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of her "Merry Christmas" album, Carey completed a 20-city tour across major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Nashville, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Raleigh, Pittsburgh, Newark, and St. Louis.

Fans can watch Carey's Christmas Gameday Show Open on Netflix on December 25, though recent Last.fm data suggests that while the song remains hugely popular, it may not be reaching the same peak levels observed in 2019 and earlier years.
