Mariah Carey’s Enduring “All I Want For Christmas Is You” Breaks Three Guinness World Records

The eternal pop diva released the holiday track back in 1994 as the lead single to her yuletide-themed fourth studio album, ‘Merry Christmas’.

On Nov. 23, Guinness World Records celebrated GRAMMY-winning pop/R&B powerhouse Mariah Carey for her classic 1994 holiday jam, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

She and the eternally cheery song—forever immortalized in films including “Love Actually” and annual happenings like your office holiday party—now hold three world records that will be included in the 2020 edition of the “Guinness Book Of World Records.”

Thank you so much Guinness World Records for honoring me with three records in the 2020 book! Michael from @GWR presented me with a certificate on stage, so naturally, I asked him to join us for the #AllIWantForChristmasIsYou finale! 😉🎅💝 pic.twitter.com/fDC8OfZj8b
