"Of course, consider the song's streaming numbers: it currently has more than two billion listens, a number that will only increase year-on-year forevermore. But if you want to get a grasp of quite how much impact the track has had on the artists that have since followed in her snow-dusted footprints, you need only look to one Spotify playlist, which features 647 covers - yes, six-hundred-and-forty-seven covers - of the song."
"Now, we decided not to rank them all as frankly, we'd have needed to have started back in July. So, to mark the 30th anniversary of this timeless classic, we've selected 30 covers to rank from very, very bad to very, very classic and original and inaugural (no spoilers here!). There's country covers, there's R&B covers, there's covers by music legends, and there's a cover by Jimmy Fallon. It's all here, folks! So let's get into it."
Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" marks its 30th anniversary as a dominant holiday anthem and has cemented her status as the Queen of Christmas. The song has amassed more than two billion Spotify listens and continues to grow year after year. A single Spotify playlist collects 647 covers, illustrating the track's vast influence on subsequent artists. A curated ranking selects 30 covers from that collection, ordering them from poor to classic across genres including country and R&B, and featuring versions by music legends and late-night performers like Jimmy Fallon.
