This week last year Mariah Carey jumped from #10 to the top of the ARIA Singles Chart with her seasonal classic "All I Want for Christmas is You", which repeats itself this week and jumps from No.10 to No.1 to land a second week at the top in Australia.
"All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey was the 1081st No.1 single in Australia (1940 to 2019) and it spent a single week at the top on the 31st of December, 2018 dated ARIA Singes Chart, then it fell off the chart the following week, which will almost likely happen again next week. It was the 516th No.1 for ARIA (1983 to 2019) and now notches up an overall seventh week within the Top 10 (1994 2 weeks, 2017 1 week, 2018 2 weeks and now a second week in 2019) and its second year in a row of topping the singles chart, creating a new chart record for the longest gap between weeks at No.1 as there are 52 weeks separating each week at the top.
The song also returns for a second berth at the top in New Zealand, holds for a second week at No.1 in the U.S.A., lands a first week at the top in Germany, logs a fifth overall week at the top in Norway (from three different runs at the top there), jumps to No.2 in England and is also in the runner-up spot in Sweden, Canada, Switzerland and No.3 in Denmark.
Here the song becomes her fourth No.1 single (as well as her third No.1 berth) and Mariah has now only logged five accumulated weeks at the top in Australia after her previous No.1's in "Fantasy" (1 week on 8th of October, 1995), "We Belong Together" (2 weeks from 27th of June, 2005) and last years one week for "All I Want for Christmas is You" (31st of December, 2018). Plus this second week at No.1 during this decade places her as the last act on the list for "Accumulated Weeks at No.1: 2010's; Singles" at No.32.
