As the North Star twinkles, signaling Santa’s sleigh on the way, the soundtrack of Christmas cheer fills the air. The merry march from Thanksgiving to Christmas Day is a symphony of traditions, celebrations, and feasts that sugarcoat any sour notes from the past year. In the world of showbiz, this timeline is a gift that keeps on giving from a holiday haul of beloved classic binges to the most wonderful Christmas carols. While Spotify’s unveiling of the most-streamed Christmas songs of all time, spanning from the 1900s to the present has been a delightful year-ending treat, fans remain enchanted by a contemporary Christmas queen, Ariana Grande.

Right from Spotify’s most-streamed tracks from the 1950s, Bobby Helms ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ is followed by Brenda Lee’s ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ in the ‘60s to the ’70s ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ by Paul McCartney. Wham!’s ‘Last Christmas’ was a favorite throughout the 1980s while Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ resonates as the best pick for the ‘90s, succeeded by Britney Spears’ ‘My Only Wish This Year’ in 2000. However, Ariana Grande is the only name to appear twice in the 2010s and ‘20s.

With her track ‘Santa Tell Me,’ Ariana Grande slayed throughout the 2010s, and her collaborative track featuring Kelly Clarkson, ‘Santa, Can’t You Hear Me,’ has claimed the crown of streaming frenzy throughout the ‘20s. Although many thought her revert to her acting roots may define the decade, it turns out that the pop royalty is making a case for twice the celebration in her name this holiday season with a festive flaunt that is unlike any other.

As Ariana Grande’s fans were gearing up for a rumored high-octane superhero ride, she pulled off a holiday hijack, descending upon the scene as a Christmas angel, armed with a discography of festive favorites that have been sending holiday cheer for twenty merry years.

In showbiz, relevance is the yardstick of endurance, and even the masters of their craft often fail to crack the algorithm. Speaking of the holiday season, traditionally marked by a slew of festive entries, the competition becomes tight for stars to grab a spot, let alone dictate decades. However, Ariana Grande has been throwing curveballs one after the other this year, and this Spotify unwrap clearly has fans in a frenzy.

Fans have dubbed Grande the “REAL queen” of the season and there is not much contention about it.

With several fans dropping their jaws at Grande’s trailblazing achievement, the Christmas trophy was also a cue for them to return to their streaming habits. With Santa’s formal arrival still on the horizon, Grande has already snagged the title of Christmas darling, prompting fans to toast to the ultimate Santa stand-in, sans the whiskers.
