00:00Okay, Mariah, I have been so excited and nervous to do this, but I get to say this.
00:07With a 20th week at number one, breaking the record for the longest-running number one song on the Hot 100
00:14is Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You.
00:18Yay!
00:22Mind blown, how do you feel about breaking that record?
00:25Oh, it's amazing, honestly. It really is. I can't lie.
00:32I mean, you've got an incredible career, obviously, 19 number ones, but to then have this record with One Sweet Day,
00:39and then it was taken from me for a second.
00:42It was robbed of me.
00:43How did you feel in that moment with Lil Nas X and then, of course, Shabuzi ending up, you know,
00:49breaking the record for the time that they did?
00:51I was upset, but what are you going to do?
00:54Well, what you're going to do is have a classic Christmas song that returns to number one every year.
00:59That's what you're going to do.
01:01So, did you know that All I Want for Christmas Is You would be this for you?
01:05No. I had no idea.
01:08That just became such a thing that I never could have predicted it. Ever. So...
01:14And, I mean, 20 weeks. How far do you think we can go here?
01:16I don't know.
01:17I feel like 30, 40. It's the longest-running number one of all time.
01:22Yeah, but at a certain point, it's not Christmas anymore, and, you know.
01:28But I love it. I'm about to get to my holiday destination and go enjoy the holidays myself,
01:36because I'm putting on this Christmas show, so we're doing this every night.
01:40But really, I just want to be celebrating at home.
01:43Well, I wish you to get home very fast.
01:45Well, thank you so much. Congratulations, Mariah.
01:48Thank you so much. This has been a fun time.
