Mariah back in the official UK singles chart
If download sales of songs no longer physically available had been allowed to count towards the chart last Christmas, Mariah Carey would have had a Top 10 re-entry with her 1994 number two hit, "All I Want For Christmas Is You".
With the rules changed, the track is unlikely to miss out this year. Its sales have increased in each of the last eight weeks, and went up by 56% last week alone, with a tally of 1,793 sales lifting it to the verge of a Top 75 re-entry, at number 78.
In 1994 "All I Want For Christmas Is You" was certified gold in the UK, with shipment of over 400,000 units. At 31 December, 2006 the track had sold 405,901 units since records began in 1995 (Music Week Magazine - Mariah Connection)
