.@MariahCarey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is now the highest certified song by a lead female artist in @RIAA history (16x).

It surpasses Katy Perry's "Roar".

Do we think it’s gonna break the record for most non consecutive weeks at #1? It’s 19 weeks atp with Lil Nas X/Shaboozey, and this song just got it’s 15th

Who's "fabulous for a throwback" now?

ultimately yes. Likely by next year.

I would rather take this being the No 1 song with most weeks spent at top. Goes perfectly with Mariah's legacy.

Roar? Must be the most overrated song ever. Good for kids parties but somehow the gays love it too

What does Katy have left of her legacy? California Gurls?

Brave > Roar

Justice for Sara Bareilles

Roar is one of the worst songs out there. Can’t believe it made that much success

Sweet to my ears considering Katy had nothing better than do than call Mariah a throwback act  Katy really getting her karma lol

A hit Christmas song will always have the advantage of being an annual fixture, which is why everyone and their mother are recording Christmas songs these days, so this was bound to happen eventually. It's much more impressive when it's a regular song. But yeah, karma came hard for Katy with that "fabulous for a throwback" quote. Since saying that, Mariah went #1 for the first time with this song, continued to go #1 multiple times and now has the highest certified female song in history.
