Mariah Carey becomes the first artist to replace herself at No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums chart since its inception in 2012. The diva’s Merry Christmas leaps 4-1 on the ranking and deposes her own LP, Caution, which slips 1-8 in its second week.

Christmas was released in 1994, earned 24,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Nov. 29, according to Nielsen Music, while Caution netted 14,000 units.

In addition, Christmas also rallies 24-9 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and 50-19 on the Billboard 200. Nearly 25 years after its debut, Christmas consistently remains one of the top performing holiday albums each year, with its success largely traceable to “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

“All I Want” also makes its annual return to several Billboard charts, including a 29-14 surge on the Billboard Hot 100 and a 30-8 roar on Streaming Songs.
