It could be a very special Christmas indeed for Mariah Carey, whose “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is on pace to hit No. 1 in the U.K. for the very first time.

Carey’s festive classic is in pole position after the weekend, with a lead of 1,300 combined sales over Wham’s “Last Christmas,” another holiday standard which has never reached the top of the chart tree.

Carey’s “Christmas” was released in 1994 and has a U.K. peak position of No. 2.

All will be unwrapped when the Official U.K. Singles Chart is published this Friday (Dec. 11).

Elsewhere on the Official Chart: First Look, Jess Glynne is on track for her 10th U.K. Top 10 as her Amazon Originals cover of Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” rockets 28-3.

The festival spirit is all over the chart blast as The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl’s “Fairytale of New York” lifts 8-4; Justin Bieber’s cover of “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” rises 21-5; Shakin’ Stevens’ “Merry Christmas Everyone” jumps 14-6; Elton John’s “Step Into Christmas” is up 18-8; Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas” is up 15-9; Wizzard’s “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday” gains 23–12; Chris Rea’s “Driving Home For Christmas” improves 22-13; Slade’s “Merry Xmas Everybody” lifts 32– 17; and Leona Lewis’s “One More Sleep” vaults 33-18.

If you’re going to honor the “Greatest of All Time,” there’s only one thing you can say: You’re the best around.

At Sunday night’s “MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time” special, Steve Aoki and Travis Barker acted as the night’s house band, with Aoki spinning classic movie music (think “Footloose” after Kevin Bacon accepted the GOAT: Dance Your Ass Off award) as Barker banged away on his drum set along to the songs.

While they  gave us little snippets throughout the night, the duo wrapped up the Vanessa Hudgens-hosted show with a full finale of Joe Esposito’s “You’re the Best” from the 1984 Karate Kid soundtrack, in honor of William Zabka’s GOAT: Zero to Hero prize. Aoki and Barker played a remixed version of the song — which soundtracks the karate tournament montage in the hit movie — wearing full skeleton bodysuits and makeup.

The night’s winners were projected above them on the gilded-goat set, including Jamie Lee Curtis (GOAT: Scream Queen), Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore (GOAT: Duo) and Kevin Hart (GOAT: Comedy Giant).

Following the show, Aoki took to Twitter to gauge fan interest in releasing the remix for real. “Who wants me and @travisbarker version of you’re the best to officially come out??” he asked.

If you’d like to see Johnny himself accept his prize for his journey from Karate Kid bad guy to Kobra Kai hero, watch below:

Gary Barlow bags a third solo No. 1 on the U.K. albums chart with Music Played By Humans (Polydor), while Mariah Carey inches closer to an elusive chart crown with her evergreen holiday hit, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” (Columbia).

Carey’s 1994 Christmas single has logged 103 weeks on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, with an all-time peak at No. 2.

The festive tune challenged Ariana Grande’s “Positions” (Republic Records) all week, and on Friday (Dec. 4) zoomed 14-2 on the survey, with Grande’s hit holding top spot for a sixth week.

With three more weeks until Christmas, there’s plenty of time for Carey to snag the title.

There’s Christmas cheer up and down the chart, as Wham’s “Last Christmas” (RCA) flies 20-3, The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl’s “Fairytale of New York” (Warner Bros) zooms 26-8, and 18 more holiday hits impact the Top 40, the Official Charts Company reports.

The highest new entry on the chart this week belongs to Liam Gallagher, with his charity fundraising singer “All You’re Dreaming Of” (Warner Records) opening at No. 35. It’s the former Oasis frontman’s fourth solo Top 40 single.

Proceeds of the single will benefit Action For Children, a charity that protects and supports vulnerable children and young people across the U.K.

Over on the Official U.K. Albums Chart, Barlow’s fifth record completes a hot first week, with 46,500 combined sales for the chart title.

It’s Barlow’s third solo leader, and his first since Sing topped the survey in 2012. Barlow now has 11 No. 1s, including albums he recorded with Take That.

Coming in at No. 2 is reunited British pop group Steps with What The Future Holds (BMG), while Miley Cyrus scores her highest-charting album in seven years with Plastic Hearts (RCA), new at No. 4. It’s Cyrus’ best chart position since Bangerz ruled the tally in 2013.

Veteran Welsh artist Shakin’ Stevens earns his first Top 10 album in 15 years, as his career retrospective Singled Out (BMG) starts at No. 10, just behind Michael Buble’s Christmas (Reprise) set, which improves 22-9 to enter the Top 10 for a ninth year.

AC/DC enters a third week at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart with Power Up as another beloved Australian rock band, Powderfinger, makes a hot start on the national survey.

Powderfinger, the now-retired Brisbane band, bow at No. 2 with Unreleased (1998 – 2010), a compilation of previously unheard tunes from their golden era. Unreleased is the group’s first album of new music since Golden Rule from 2009, the last of their five consecutive chart-topping albums.

Earlier in 2020, the rockers re-entered the ARIA Albums Chart at No. 2 with the 20th Anniversary Edition of their classic album Odyssey Number Five.

Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus bags her sixth Top 10 title as Plastic Hearts enters at No. 3 on the ARIA chart.

It’s Cyrus’ first studio album since Younger Now, which peaked at No. 2 in October 2017, though the U.S. pop singer did drop an EP last year, She Is Coming, which reached No. 10 on the survey.

Closing out the Top 5 are BTSBE (down 2-4) and Taylor Swift’s former leader folklore (up 6-5), respectively, while Andrea Bocelli’s Believe climbs into the Top 10 for the first time. In its third week on the chart, Believe lifts 24-10, and becomes the Italian tenor’s eighth Top Ten title in the land Down Under.

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, 24kGoldn’s “Mood” featuring Iann Dior is the champion for the eighth week.

The San Francisco rapper’s first leader in Australia has now logged the second longest streak at the summit in 2020, behind only The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,” which spent eleven weeks at No. 1.

“Mood” leads a pop-heavy top five, which also features Ariana Grande’s “Positions” (unchanged at No. 2), Joel Corry & MNEK’s “Head & Heart” (up 3-2), Billie Eilish’s “Therefore I Am” (down 3-4), and Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” (unmoved at No. 5), respectively.

Mariah Carey makes her annual dance up the chart as the seven-times platinum “All I Want For Christmas Is You” soars 63-16 in its 35th week on the chart.

Originally released in 1994, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has returned to the chart every year since 2012, according to ARIA, and finally hit No. 1 for the very first time on the last chart of 2019.

Finally this week, Tones And I is flying on the chart with “Fly Away,” which lifts 24-19 in its third week. Tones And I (real name Toni Watson) was part of the all-star, show-closing performance of Helen Reddy’s “I Am Woman” at the Nov. 25 ARIA Awards.

Dionne Warwick found herself trending on Twitter again Saturday night.

A few days after delighting the internet with a tweet about her refusal to buy a PlayStation 5 for a random guy who asked her for one — “He wanted me to buy him some sort of toy, and I had to answer him and I said, ‘No! I don’t know you,” she later explained in a video interview — Warwick logged on to her account to share some things that have been on her mind lately.

“Hi, @chancetherapper,” she wrote on Twitter on Dec. 5. “If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name? I cannot stop thinking about this.”

“I am now Dionne the Singer,” Warwick announced in her next tweet.

Chance, apparently awestruck by the unexpected mention (and the revelation that “Holy” is one of Warwick’s “favorite songs right now”), took a moment to respond. “Sorry I’m still freaking out that u know who I am,” he wrote back. “This is amazing!”

“I will be whatever you wanna call me Ms Warwick. God bless you,” he said, politely.

“Of course I know you. You’re THE rapper. Let’s rap together. I’ll message you,” suggested Warwick, who wasn’t done having fun on Twitter just yet.

She set her sights on teasing someone else: “The Weeknd is next. Why? It’s not even spelled correctly?”

“If you have “The” in your name i’m coming for you,” Warwick warned. “I need answers today.”

Cardi B is having a strong reaction to Teyana Taylor’s unexpected announcement that she’s seemingly retiring from music.

On Friday (Dec. 4), Taylor took to Instagram to share her impressive Spotify year-end streaming data while also expressing feelings of being “super under appreciated as a artist” and receiving “little to no real push from the ‘machine.’”

Taylor continued by announcing that she’s “retiring this chapter of my story with the comfort that i can depart with peace of mind seeing that all the hard work & passion put in was indeed loved & supported somewhere in the world!”

In her response, Cardi praised the R&B singer-songwriter’s 2020 release, The Album, and shared some sympathetic words.

“If you know me then you know Teyana Taylor’s album it’s my favorite of 2020. I swear she really got the best album this year,” the rapper tweeted. “I hate that she feels how she feels cause she sooo talented and the music is soo good.”

Since her debut in 2014, Taylor has released three albums and one EP, the most recent being 2020’s The Album. The set debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart in early July.

The multi-hyphenate has also worked as a choreographer, actress, model, fitness guru and shoe designer.

Following the 2021 Grammy nominations in late November, Taylor expressed frustration after The Album was snubbed for best R&B album.

“Y’all was better off just saying best MALE R&B ALBUM cause all I see is dick in this category,” she tweeted alongside an image showing nominees.

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes have gifted fans with a surprise holiday duet.

The duo release their version of the classic “The Christmas Song” on Saturday (Dec. 5).

“This has been such a crazy year with so many challenges. This holiday season, it is more important than ever to spread love and kindness to everyone! Shawn and I wanted to send all our love to you amazing humans so we put together something special for you, our rendition of #TheChristmasSong,” Cabello wrote on Instagram.

The singer added that streams will “support those in need right now,” and said that she and Mendes are donating $100,000 to Feeding America.

“We love you all so much and hope you get to enjoy this song over a very safe and merry holiday!” said Cabello. “It would make our holidays if you went on their website and donated to one of their sectors and help out your community! They have sectors all over the nation. Let’s make our little corner of the world more beautiful today.”

“The Christmas Song” is featured on the holiday deluxe edition of Mendes’ new album, Wonder. Listen to their take on the cozy Christmas ballad below.

Jeremih has been released from a Chicago hospital after spending weeks battling COVID-19.

“First and foremost, I would like to thank God and the incredible team of doctors and nurses at Northwestern Memorial Hospital for saving my life. I will be forever grateful,” said Jeremih in a statement sent to Billboard on Saturday (Dec. 5). “I would also like to thank my family and friends for all their prayers and well wishes. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.”

“A special thanks to Chance The Rapper, 50 Cent and Diddy for their love and support,” he said. “I would also like to thank all my fans and people around the world who prayed for me. I’m getting stronger everyday, and look forward to spending time with my sons.”

News of the 33-year-old R&B singer’s struggle with coronavirus was first made public on social media in mid-November by fellow artists like Chance the Rapper and 50 Cent.

“Please if you can take a second to pray for my friend Jeremih, he is like a brother to me and he’s ill right now,” Chance tweeted. 50 Cent added on Instagram, “pray for my boy Jeremih he’s not doing good this covid s— is real.”

In late November, Jeremih was transferred out of ICU after reportedly being on a ventilator while battling the novel coronavirus. At the time, a representative for his family told CNN that the virus had “viciously attacked his body” and reminded others that “COVID-19 is real and not to be taken lightly.”

The pandemic, which is wildly spreading from coast-to-coast and forcing renewed lockdowns and restrictions in a number of states, has infected more than 14.5 million Americans to date, killing over 280,000, according to The New York Times.

Sophie Turner is revisiting her days as a soon-to-be mother.

The Game of Thrones actress took to Instagram on Friday (Dec. 4) to share some past photographs, including a never-before-seen pic of her baby bump.

In one of the images, the 24-year-old actress is seen standing in front of a mirror showing off her bare pregnant belly alongside admiring husband, Joe Jonas.

“Felt like we needed some content on this page… enjoy these throwbacks,” Turner captioned the slideshow.

Another pic in the gallery was a snapshot of the couple’s surprise Las Vegas wedding in 2019, where the two lovebirds are posing in front of a colorful cake.

Jonas and Turner welcomed their first child together in late July. The couple’s new baby daughter is named Willa.

What a difference an “E” makes.

Morgan Wallen is taking the Saturday Night Live stage this weekend (Dec. 5), and appeared in a hilarious new promo alongside host Jason Bateman.

“Hi I’m Jason Bateman and I’m hosting SNL with Morgan Wallen,” the Ozark actor proclaims, before the sketch comedy show’s Heidi Gardner entirely mishears his name.

“Wait, Batman? You’re Jason Batman?” she shouts, before the country crooner adds in disbelief: “Batman hosting?”

“No, you missed the ‘E,’ it’s Bateman,” Bateman tries to say before Wallen insists, “Go home, get out of here and save the city of something.”

“I’ll grab the cape,” the Emmy-award actor agreed. See below.
