"All I Want for Christmas Is You" Covers Ranking
"All I Want for Christmas is You" is pretty much the Christmas song that keeps on giving. Mariah Carey's holiday masterpiece hit the airwaves way back in 1994, and it's been at the top of every holiday playlist ever since.
21 years later, "AIWFCIY" is even MORE popular than it was back in the '90s. It just reached its most impressive spot on the Billboard Hot 100 this year, peaking at #18. As with most Christmas classics, there are a ton of covers out there to enjoy. Here are the top nine!
9. Tori Kelly
Tori Kelly stripped down the Christmas track, singing along with a simple ukelele so that you can chill by the fire while listening to it instead of jamming out hardcore (which is obligatory when listening to the original).
8. Miley Cyrus
Fetus Miley Cyrus performed the country rendition of "AIWFCIY" that you never knew you needed way back in 2007 during Disney Christmas Parade. It'll bring all the Hannah Montana Christmas special feels.
7. Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato gets major points for hitting Mariah's super high note at the end in front of the POTUS Barack Obama for her "Christmas in Washington" live performance. Like, hooooooow?!
6. The Girl and the Dreamcatcher
Dove Cameron and Ryan McCartan's cover is inherently a hundred times cuter as they're an actual adorable couple singing the romantic Christmas song to one another. Too cute!
5. Amber Riley
Amber Riley's "AIWFCIY" cover for the Christmas episode of Glee comes impossibly close to meeting the insane levels of Christmas perfection that was the original, thanks to Amber's insane pipes. And she gets extra points for holding mistletoe over our once fave on- and off-screen couple, Cory Monteith and Lea Michelle, so they'd share sweet a Christmas kiss at the end. *TEAR*
4. Ariana Grande
Ariana slayed every single whistle note in her live rendition of the Christmas hit - she literally could have been Mariah herself! Plus, she had a massive choir accompanying her, which made it that much more festive!
3. Fifth Harmony
Each member of Fifth Harmony's voice sounds so amazing, and the harmonized chorus will make make you wonder how anyone ever tackled this song solo!
2. Jimmy Fallon & Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey + Jimmy Fallon + The Roots + Classroom Instruments = OBVIOUSLY this cover is near the top of the list. The classroom instruments put Mariah (and Jimmy's) vocals on display in the best way possible!
1. Justin Bieber & Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey actually gave Justin Bieber's cover of "AIWFCIY" her seal of approval in the form of recording it as a duet with him, and even filming the most Christmas-y music video ever to go along with it! The Christmas queen herself sharing a Christmas classic track with the current prince of pop, Justin Bieber? How could it NOT get number one?
