Even hidden under a hat, no pair of ears can escape this pop air, carried along by the winter wind and the loudspeakers of the supermarket: a few notes of glockenspiel, a hushed voice and this melody which gallops to the rhythm of bells: it only takes a few seconds to recognize All I Want for Christmas Is You, Mariah Carey hit and ultimate holiday soundtrack. Irrefutable fact: nearly thirty years following its release, the song reached this month and for the fourth consecutive year the top of the Hot 100, dethroning Taylor Swift. On Spotify, where it is on all festive playlists, the song exceeds one billion streams. A success that even earned him to beat, in 2019, the Guinness World Records for the greatest number of plays in twenty-four hours… on December 24, of course.
