Mariah Carey’s iconic holiday song “All I Want for Christmas Is You” usually dominates the Billboard charts every December and January. This year, though, she’s also making waves with another classic. While her Christmas hit continues to shine, Carey’s track “Always Be My Baby” is making its mark this week.
“Always Be My Baby” has just debuted at No. 35 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50. This chart, launched in 2023, tracks the most popular songs on TikTok in the U.S., measuring factors like video views and engagement. This new entry marks Carey’s second appearance on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, effectively doubling her previous record on this relatively new list.
Carey’s first appearance on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 came last November when “All I Want for Christmas Is You” reached No. 1 in the final chart week of 2023. This marked her first No. 1 on this specific chart and further solidified the song’s status as a holiday staple.
So far, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has spent 10 weeks on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, with that number expected to rise as the next holiday season approaches.
Released in 1996 as part of Carey’s Daydream album, “Always Be My Baby” also made a significant impact upon its debut. It soared to No. 1 on the Hot 100, marking Carey’s eleventh No. 1 hit and adding to her impressive list of chart-topping successes.
