00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,842
DAVID MUIR: Finally tonight, it
was a long wait but worth it.

00:00:07,209 --> 00:00:09,140


5
00:00:09,140 --> 00:00:12,310
25 years after it came
out, a wish come true.

6
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:15,719
MARIAH CAREY: (SINGING)
make my wish come true,

7
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:20,110
all I want for Christmas is you.

8
00:00:20,110 --> 00:00:22,680
DAVID MUIR: What Mariah Carey
got this year is a number one

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,520
hit.

10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,670
"All I Want for Christmas
is You" finally at the top--

11
00:00:26,670 --> 00:00:28,270
the Billboard Hot 100.

12
00:00:28,270 --> 00:00:30,800
Tonight, Mariah tweeting
to her fans, "We did it."

13
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,032
MARIAH CAREY:
(SINGING) Baby, all

14
00:00:32,032 --> 00:00:36,340
I want for Christmas is you.

15
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:37,990
DAVID MUIR: And just
this year, Amazon Music's

16
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:40,150
documentary about the song.

17
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:43,210
In it, Mariah says she hoped
it would resonate like songs

18
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:44,840
from a different time.

19
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,060
MARIAH CAREY: It
was really inspired

20
00:00:46,060 --> 00:00:48,700
by songs from the
'60s or the '50s,

21
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:52,240
where you couldn't help but
be happy when you heard them.

22
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,920
DAVID MUIR: And she talks
about her inspiration,

23
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,093
her childhood, her mother.

24
00:00:55,093 --> 00:00:56,560
MARIAH CAREY: We didn't
have a lot of money,

25
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,700
so sometimes she would like
wrap up fruit and like whatever

26
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:02,800
it was that she could afford.

27
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,690
And I was like,
"When I grow up I'm

28
00:01:04,690 --> 00:01:05,860
never going to let that happen.

29
00:01:05,860 --> 00:01:09,100
I'm going to make Christmas
perfect every year."

30
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:10,800
DAVID MUIR: That song
certainly helped.

31
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,420
And it's her 19th
number one hit, putting

32
00:01:13,420 --> 00:01:15,590
her only behind the Beatles.

33
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:18,810
But one Christmas
wish at a time.

34
00:01:18,810 --> 00:01:20,500
You'll be humming at for
the rest of the night.

35
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:22,120
I hope to see you right
back here tomorrow.

36
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,970
Goodnight.
