In 2018, it was number three on the US Charts.
The good news is that it has managed to be at the top, reaching number one on the Charts this year. This comes two decades later, because the song was first released in 1994.
It is taken from the album ‘Merry Christmas’ which is the first Christmas album and the fourth studio album by Mariah Carey.
It is also trending on YouTube and has over 600 million views.
Mariah says she is amazed at how the song keeps gaining popularity over the years.
"When I first made the record, it wasn't as big a hit as it is now. It's grown in popularity over the years and that's the thing that's amazing to me about this song."
