On Christmas Eve, Mariah Carey achieved a remarkable feat by breaking the all-time Spotify streaming record for a single day with her classic holiday song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
The song garnered an impressive 23,701,697 plays, surpassing Carey’s record from the previous year, which stood at 21,273,357 streams on the same day.
This tradition of Carey’s dominance on Spotify during Christmas Eve has been consistent, with the artist continually surpassing her streaming records. In 2020, she set a milestone with over 17.2 million streams on that day, and she continued to exceed that record in subsequent years.
During this Christmas season, a friendly competition emerged between Mariah Carey and Brenda Lee for the title of the “Queen of Christmas.”
