Ariana Grande Dominates Spotify With 'Santa Tell Me'
The 'Break Free' superstar is one of the most-streamed Christmas songs in the world...
Just two weeks after we crowned Ariana Grande the future Queen Of Christmas, the stats have arrived to prove so.
Spotify have revealed the most-streamed Christmas songs around the world as the festive season nears its peak and Miss Grande's original is in the Top 5.
That's right, 'Santa Tell Me' is officially a winter staple as it joins classics by Mariah Carey and Wham! as the fifth (!) most-streamed Christmas track globally.
Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space
I'll take the pleasure, take it with the pain
And if in the moment, I bite my lip
Baby, in that moment, you'll know this is
Something bigger than us and beyond bliss
Give me a reason to believe it
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gottta
Got to love me harder (lo-love me harder)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
I know your motives and you know mine
The ones that love me, I tend to leave behind
If you know about me and choose to stay
Then take this pleasure and take it with the pain
And if in the moment you bite your lip
When I get you moaning, you know it's real
Can you feel the pressure between your hips?
I'll make it feel like the first time
'Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (I'ma love you harder, hey)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (love me, baby, love me)
(Lo-love me harder)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (you gotta love me harder)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
You got to try, try, try again, yeah (oh woah)
So what do I do if I can't figure it out? (Figure it out)
I'm gonna leave, leave, leave again
'Cause if you want to keep me (hey)
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (I'ma love you, love you, love)
And if you really need me (ooh)
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (got to love me, baby)
'Cause if you want to keep me (hey)
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder (love me harder, love me harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta (I'ma do it, do it, do it)
Got to love me harder (I'ma love you harder, hey)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me (love me)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder (boy, you gotta love me, love me, baby)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me (just a little bit harder, harder, baby)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
As one of the most streamed artists in the world this should come as no surprise but it's insanely difficult for new Christmas originals to compete with the nostalgic classics that are firmly ingrained in our heads.
'Santa Tell Me' was originally released in 2014 and has returned to the UK Singles Chart this year to a higher position than ever, reaching a new peak of Number 29 this week.
Clearly it isn't just the UK that's ultra-festive this year as everyone around the world has clearly fallen in love with Ariana's song all over again.
Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' is the most-streamed Christmas song in the world (duh!) while Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' comes in at Number 2.
Justin Bieber's forever-adorable 'Mistletoe' is also dominating Spotify this winter as it is the fourth most-streamed festive track.
While the leading two will never get old, we are happy to welcome this generation's King and Queen of Christmas to the pack!
