Every year again: Earlier and even higher in the charts than last year, the two most successful Christmas pop songs are back in 2022. "Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' returns at number 44, 'Last Christmas' by Wham at 49," said GfK Entertainment, investigator of the Official German Charts.

2021 was announced on November 19 that Carey was ranked 58th and Wham! had returned on the 65. During the Christmas season, the Christmas hit "Last Christmas" made it to the top of the German single charts for the first time 37 years after its release. British pop duo Wham! (George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley) released the song in 1984. All I Want For Christmas Is You is from 1994.
