Mariah Carey finally tops the chart with All I Want For Christmas Is You

Mariah Carey’s festive classic All I Want For Christmas Is You has finally reached number one in the UK – 26 years after its release.

The song initially peaked at number two in 1994, missing out to East 17’s Stay Another Day, and the last three years have seen it return to match that original chart position.

But it has now reached the top spot following a closely fought battle with fellow festive anthem Last Christmas by Wham!.
