Mariah Carey has retaken the No. 1 spot on the chart with “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” while Bieber’s “Mistletoe” re-enters at No. 39 and Bublé’s “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” hits No. 14.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for holiday songs, which are rocketing up the charts this week.
Mariah Carey’s now 16X platinum “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is back at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. She takes the top spot from Gracie Abrams, whose “That’s So True” drops to No. 7.
Christmas songs also hold the No. 2 and No. 3 spots: Wham’s “Last Christmas” followed by Brenda Lee’s “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree.” Lee’s “Rockin” set a record when it hit No. 1 last year, but “Last Christmas” has only ever peaked at No. 2. Could a new cover by Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter push it to the top spot?
Canadian Christmas songs are having a good week, with Michael Bublé holding two spots on the Hot 100. His version of “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” moves up 33-14 and has also re-entered this week on the U.S. Hot 100 at No. 24. Could it top its previous Canadian peak of No. 4? There’s still a couple more weeks left to climb. His “Holly Jolly Christmas,” also moves up, 47-27, and Bublé’s Christmas hits No. 3 on the Canadian Albums chart.
Justin Bieber’s boyish “Mistletoe,” meanwhile, re-enters this week at No. 39, putting Bieber back on the charts for his first Christmas season as a father.
Elsewhere on the charts, the late rapper Juice WRLD has the most new entries this week, withThe Party Never Ends, his second and final posthumous album,at No. 5 on the Canadian Albums chart. Four songs from that release are on the Canadian Hot 100, with “Empty Out Your Pockets” placing highest at No. 52.
Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets Department, meanwhile, has retaken the No. 1 spot on the Canadian Albums chart and the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart with the new physical release of the Anthology edition. With the record-breaking Eras Tour coming to a close in Vancouver this past weekend, Swift is truly going out on top.
