As the diva’s holiday juggernaut, released in 1994, enjoys a record-setting 20th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Carey unwraps another chart-topper with her 2025 single “In Your Feelings,” which rises from the runner-up spot to crown the Adult R&B Airplay chart dated Dec. 27.

The track, released and promoted through MARIAH/gamma., ascends as the most-played on U.S. panel-contributing adult R&B radio stations for Dec. 12-18, according to Luminate. It improved 19% in plays compared to the previous week and wins the Greatest Gainer honor for the list’s largest increase.

With “In Your Feelings,” Carey celebrates a fourth Adult R&B Airplay No. 1. She first claimed the summit via “We Belong Together,” which stitched an eight-week rule in 2005, and followed with six-week champ “Fly Like a Bird” the following year. After that pair, she closed a 19-year gap between leaders when “Type Dangerous” scored three weeks in charge this August. (She first topped many Billboard tallies when her debut, “Vision of Love,” led the Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts dated Aug. 4, 1990.)

“We Belong Together” and “Fly Like a Bird” are from Carey’s 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi, while “Type Dangerous” and “In Your Feelings” appear on her latest project, Here for It All. The set was released in September and debuted at No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums chart.

Plus, as Carey had two other Adult R&B Airplay hits — “Shake It Off” (No. 6) and “Don’t Forget About Us” (No. 12) — in between the “Together” and “Bird” coronations, the “Dangerous”/“Feelings” combo marks her first linking of consecutive leaders on the list.

Elsewhere, “In Your Feelings” pushes 17-12 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, which ranks songs from combined audience totals from adult R&B and mainstream R&B/hip-hop radio stations. There, it improved to 5.5 million in audience, up 21% from the prior week’s total, and captures the chart’s Greatest Gainer prize.

Two other songs from Here for It All have made Billboard radio charts, while another is planned to be promoted. “Type Dangerous” follow-up “Sugar Sweet,” featuring Shenseea and Kehlani, hit a No. 17 high on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, No. 23 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and No. 31 on Rhythmic Airplay, while, this week, “Jesus I Do,” featuring The Clark Sisters, debuts at No. 27 on Gospel Airplay. Carey makes her first career appearance on Gospel Airplay (and The Clark Sisters, their sixth).

Meanwhile, as of Jan. 12, Here for It All ballad “Nothing Is Impossible” will be worked to adult pop and adult contemporary formats.

All charts dated Dec. 27 will update on Tuesday, Dec. 23, on Billboard.com.
