Music is a big part of the holiday season and for the last several years, that’s only meant one song. Mariah Carey’s "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has become the number one song in the nation every year since 2019, and there was no reason to believe that 2023 would be any different.

It would be one thing if there was a brand new music hit that people have fallen for, but the number one song right now is another classic, Branda Lee’s “Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.”
So how exactly did a song from 1958 become the biggest song in the country for the very first time after more than six decades, and just what does the patron saint of Christmas music, Mariah Carey, think of it all?
