Mariah Carey’s macrohit continues to pay off. On December 24, on Christmas Eve, ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ broke Spotify’s daily streaming record, held by Adele up to that point.
“Easy On Me”, which already has more than 1,100 million views on Spotify, premiered with 19,750,000 streams in the first 24 hours. Mariah Carey’s Christmas Carol surpassed that milestone, reaching 21,270,000 views in 24 hours. Curiously, the other great pop Christmas carol in history, ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham, is in 3rd place among the most listened to in one day with 19 million streams.
The top 7 compiled by Chart Data’s Twitter account is completed by Taylor Swift’s ‘Anti-Hero’, Brenda Lee’s ‘Rockin Around the Christmas Tree’ (Mariah’s biggest competition in the US), ‘Lavender Haze’ by Taylor Swift herself and Harry Styles’ “As It Was.”
