"All I Want for Christmas Is You" exceeds 2 billion streams on Spotify

What they're saying: "This is beyond incredible," Carey said in a statement Friday. "I'm so grateful to all Spotify listeners around the world who've made the song part of their holiday tradition year after year."

State of play: In the U.S., the song has seen a 1,100% increase of streams since Nov. 1.

• It has been the No. 1 song globally on Spotify on Christmas Day every year since 2016.

Fun fact: Although the jingle was released 30 years ago, it is one of Gen Z's Top 3-streamed holiday tracks this year.

The big picture: People started listening to holiday music earlier this year and while other holiday songs reached new heights, no one has yet to dethrone the queen of Christmas.
