Chris Willman Music WriterJudging from the near-complete takeover of the pop songs chart by holiday tunes, America has turned its attention to wet-ass snowflakes.It wasn’t a matter of whether it would happen, only what week: Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has ascended to the top spot on the national singles chart, zipping past the non-seasonal competition.

Its dominance took place in the week beginning on Black Friday and ending Dec. 3, meaning there’s a pretty good chance the song will continue to be No.

1 for four weeks to follow, too.Carey’s song jumped from its No. 7 position last week to the top of the Rolling Stone songs chart, powered by 22.3 million song streams and 183,600 song units.
