“Obsessed” and “We Belong Together” could reach one billion Spotify streams in November 2026. Meanwhile, the Christmas-season surge could bring “All I Want for Christmas Is You” closer to one billion YouTube views.
Mariah Carey’s road to one billion brings three major streaming milestones into focus. “We Belong Together” and “Obsessed” are approaching one billion streams on Spotify. At the same time, “All I Want for Christmas Is You (Make My Wish Come True Edition)” is closing the gap to one billion YouTube views.
Together, these approaching achievements highlight a catalogue that has connected with listeners across the physical, digital-download and streaming eras.
Using Mariahpedia’s figures dated September 9, 2026, the latest daily rates suggest November milestones for both Spotify tracks. On YouTube, however, the countdown comes with a major seasonal caveat.
“We Belong Together”: Around November 13, 2026
According to Mariahpedia’s Spotify Streaming Figures, “We Belong Together” has reached 970,769,091 streams. That leaves 29,230,909 before one billion.
With 454,439 daily streams, the page shows about 65 days remaining. Counting from September 9 gives an estimated milestone date of November 13, 2026, if that pace holds.
The song has continued to build on its earlier achievements, including the 800 million Spotify streams milestone covered by Mariahpedia. Now, its next major target is in sight.
“Obsessed”: Around November 10, 2026
“Obsessed” stands at 953,525,411 Spotify streams, with 46,474,589 remaining before one billion.
Although it has a larger gap to close, its latest daily gain of 750,110 streams puts it on a faster path. Mariahpedia’s countdown shows about 62 days, implying an estimated arrival around November 10, 2026.
At those rates, “Obsessed” could reach one billion roughly three days before “We Belong Together.” However, changes in daily listening could shift both dates and reverse the order.

“All I Want for Christmas Is You”: Christmas Could Change the Countdown
On YouTube, the 2019 “All I Want for Christmas Is You (Make My Wish Come True Edition)” has accumulated 908,638,981 views, according to Mariahpedia’s The YouTube Era.
The page records 231,480 views yesterday, leaving 91,361,019 views before one billion. Maintaining that daily pace would require about 395 days. Counted from September 9, 2026, that places a straight-line estimate around October 9, 2027.
But this calculation does not account for the Christmas-season surge. Increased holiday viewing could bring the milestone substantially forward. Christmas 2026 remains a possibility if the seasonal gains are strong enough, although the current daily snapshot cannot establish whether that will happen.
Joseph Kahn directed the “Make My Wish Come True Edition.” He also directed Mariah’s videos for “Type Dangerous” and “Boy (I Need You),” connecting this festive production with other chapters of her visual catalogue. Watch the official video below.
The Road to One Billion: A Measure of Longevity
These approaching milestones carry meaning beyond the numbers. Mariah Carey’s success spans the physical, digital-download and streaming eras. Across those eras, audiences have changed how they discover, buy and listen to music.
Having earned awards and recognition during the physical-sales and digital eras, Mariah is now approaching further milestones through streaming. The format has changed, but listeners continue to return to her catalogue. Readers can explore that broader history through Mariahpedia’s album sales, singles sales and RIAA certification records.
Moreover, “We Belong Together” and “Obsessed” show the reach of her music beyond Christmas. Alongside the YouTube performance of “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” they reflect lasting interest across different chapters of her career.
Streaming milestones differ from sales certifications and industry awards. Still, they add another measure of longevity: these songs attract listening and viewing long after their original release. Mariah Carey’s road to one billion shows how her catalogue continues to thrive as the music industry changes.
