Mariah Carey hasn't released new music since 2018 but still managed to find her way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart thanks to her legendary single "All I Want for Christmas is You," setting a record on the way. With the 1994 classic topping the charts during the week dated January 4, 2020, Mariah Carey now becomes the first-ever artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in four different decades.
