“All I Want for Christmas Is You” tops the Global 200 (2-1) with 197.9 million streams (up 176% week-over-week) and 13,000 sold (up 5%) worldwide Dec. 20-26. The song has run up its record 19 weeks at No. 1 dating to the chart’s start via one frame this holiday season, five each over the 2023 and 2022 holidays and four in both the 2021 and 2020 seasons. (Harry Styles’ “As It Was” follows with 15 weeks at No. 1 in 2022.)

With their latest totals, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and “Last Christmas” claim the seventh- and eighth-biggest worldwide streaming weeks since the Global 200 began:

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” drew its previous best worldwide streaming sum a year ago this week (159.1 million), and its previous second-best total two years ago this week (124.9 million). “Last Christmas” previously peaked with 142.6 million a year ago this week.

Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” rises 5-3 on the Global 200, after reaching No. 2; Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” trots 6-4, returning to its peak; and ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” falls to No. 5 after spending its first nine weeks on the chart at No. 1.

Plus, two holiday hits reenter the Global 200’s top 10: Michael Bublé’s “It’s Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas” (11-8) and Dean Martin’s “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” (12-9). Both songs have hit No. 6 highs.

Additionally, Lady Gaga and Mars’ “Die With a Smile” drops 4-10 on the Global 200, following eight weeks at No. 1 beginning in September. It drew 126.4 million streams (up 1%) worldwide in the latest tracking frame and has tallied over 100 million streams globally in each of the last 17 weeks, the longest such streak since the chart began.

As it adds its record-breaking 14th week at No. 1, it surpasses the 13-week reigns of Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” in 2023 and Styles’ “As It Was” in 2022. The carol led for five weeks last holiday season, following annual No. 1 runs of four weeks (over the 2022 holidays), three weeks (2021) and one week (2020).
