Mariah Carey finally gets to Number 1 on The UK Chart Show with 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'
Mariah's song was released in 1994
It's been a very long time coming, but FINALLY, Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' gets a Number 1 on The UK Chart Show.
Mariah's festive throwback was originally released in 1994, but has continued to return to the charts in recent years with the introduction of streaming, however it never reached Number 1 in the UK.
Don't forget you can hear festive tunes throughout the day on Tay FM!
The year that 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' was released it was kept off the top spot by East 17's 'Stay Another Day', so it's taken 26 years to reach Number 1!
Announced just before 7pm today (6th December) on Tay FM as this week's Number 1, 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' made an early re-entry into The UK Chart last month, along with other festive throwbacks from The Pogues and Wham!.
