(Gray News) - The queen of Christmas has been dethroned.
Billboard said Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has been replaced on the Global 200 chart by an ’80s classic.
“Last Christmas” by Wham! reached the No. 1 spot on the chart, Billboard said.
This marks the first time another holiday song besides Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has topped the chart since its launch in September 2020.
Billboard said Carey’s 1994 classic has topped the Billboard Global 200 chart for a record total of 19 weeks since December 2020.

Earlier this month, “Last Christmas” reached its highest-ever position on the Billboard Hot 100 and Holiday 100 charts, at No. 2, behind “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
Wham! member Andrew Ridgeley said in a statement, “I’m delighted to learn that Wham!’s perennial Christmas favorite ‘Last Christmas’ has secured the Billboard No. 2 spot this week.”
He added, “Thank you everyone who has embraced the song as a little piece of their own Merry Christmas.”
