The song was originally released on Carey's 1994 Christmas album, but streaming services, technological changes and general holiday cheer have helped make it a hallmark of the Yuletide season only in recent years.
Carey broke from the mold by releasing original holiday music, since most artists at the time chose to cover Christmas standards, Gary Trust, Billboard's senior director of charts,"It sounds like what we've always traditionally thought a holiday song sounds like, with those jingle bells and just the fun, upbeat sound, but updated for the '90s and obviously Mariah's vocals," Trust said."With different lyrics, I feel like this could be a hit any time of the year.
Christmas has become part of Carey's identity to millions of people, he added, comparing her to"a modern-day Santa Claus.""She makes it really personal, and it's just that connection back-and-forth," he said."I think memes really work when there's that interaction, obviously. That's how they keep growing. So I think if she didn't have a sense of humor, maybe we wouldn't connect with her as much.
."Separately this decade, Billboard rebooted its former Christmas minichart as the Holiday 100, and ever since its launch in 2011, the Holiday chart has basically been the Mariah chart."The song reached the Hot 100's top 10 for the first time in Dec. 2017 and broke into the top five the following year. Its meteoric rise continued from there, as it's held the top spot on the holiday charts every year since 2019.
