WireImage for MCIt might feel like Christmas is over, but when it comes to Mariah Carey, the season of giving may never really end. The singer’s blockbuster “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is still performing shockingly well in the United Kingdom to this day, even though it’s already February. It seems that fans in the country just aren’t tired of the holiday cut, nor the feeling of joy it brings.
This frame, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” returns to the top 40 on one sales chart in the U.K. The song lifts from No. 61 to No. 39 on the Official Physical Singles ranking, which looks only at the top-selling individual tracks on any format that fans can actually hold, such as CD, cassette or vinyl.
Just a few weeks ago, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” was still present on a number of lists in nations all around the world. After Christmas passes each year, the song falls away rapidly, though sometimes it can hold on for a bit of early January. The fact that it’s not only still charting, but present inside the top 40 on a major ranking in one of the largest music markets in the world is a testament to the popularity of both the track itself, as well as Carey.
“All I Want for Christmas Is You” has now spent 16 weeks in the top 40 on the Official Physical Singles Chart throughout its lifetime. Nine of those frames have been inside the top 10, and just two have been at number 1.
“All I Want for Christmas Is You” was first named the top-selling physical song in the U.K in very early 2020. It returned to the summit for only its second stint this past December when it earned one more stay on the throne. The holiday cut is one of Carey’s four No. 1s on the Official Physical Singles ranking across the pond.
Carey has landed in the spotlight with “Without You,” “Against All Odds” with Westlife, and “We Belong Together,” as well as her holiday favorite. Throughout her career, Carey has also collected more than a dozen additional top 10 hits on the Official Physical Singles chart in addition to her four rulers. That roundup includes famous tracks like “Fantasy,” “One Sweet Day” with Boyz II Men, “Always Be My Baby,” and “Honey,” among many others.
Only about a month ago, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” was still living inside the top 10 on the U.K singles chart, the list of the most-consumed songs in the country. During the first week dated in 2025, the track held at No. 2. The following frame, it slipped 60 spaces to No. 62. It then disappeared entirely, though chances are it will return again this coming November or December when the public gets into the holiday spirit once more.
