Mariah Carey's single "All I Want for Christmas is You" first entered the top 10 on the Billboard singles chart in December 2017. Two years later, in December 2019, the song from the album "Merry Christmas" climbed to the top position, which it held for three weeks.

In 2020 and 2021, around Christmas, "All I Want for Christmas is You" once again topped the Hot 100 chart. And this year, it's happening again.

Second on the chart is Brenda Lee with the single "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," the original version of which dates back to 1958. The track climbs one position for the past seven days.

And in the last three years in the days around Christmas, the song managed to reach the second position in the "Billboard" chart. 

Third place also goes to a holiday hit - "Jingle Bell Rock" by the late Bobby Helms.

The single is from 1957. Last week, the festive-sounding song was at number five in the chart. 

The fourth spot goes to Burl Ives with "A Holly Jolly Christmas," which is from 1964. The single climbs two places from last week. 

Rounding out the top five on the Billboard chart are Metro Boomin, The Weeknd and 21 Savage with their collaborative track “Creepin,” which debuted on the chart this week.

It is included in Metro Boomin's "Heroes & Villains" album, adds BTA.
