Wednesday, December 20, 2017 - 12:36

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.

Tell me something I need to know
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 the 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, gotta got to love me harder
Gotta love me harder
(Ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh)
Love me, love me, love me
(Ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh)
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
(Imma love you harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta got to love me harder
(Love me harder)
(Ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh)
Love me, love me, love me
(Ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh)
Harder, harder, harder
(Ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh)
Love me, love me, love me
(Ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh)
Harder, harder, harder

So what would I do if I can't figure it out
You got to try, try, try again
So what would I do if I can't figure it out
I'm gonna leave, leave, leave again

Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta got to love me harder
(Imma love you, love you, love you)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta got to love me harder
(Love me, love me, baby)
Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta got to love me harder
(Love me harder)
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta got to love me harder
(Imma love you harder)
(Ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh)
Love me, love me, love me
(Ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh, ho-o-oh)
Harder, harder, harder
(Love me, love me, baby)
Love me, love me, love me
(Just a little bit harder, harder, a little bit)
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!

Anytime I'm alone, I can't help thinking about you
All I want, all I need, honestly, it's just me and you

He giving me that good shit
That make me not quit, that good shit
He giving me that good shit
That make me not quit, that good shit

Oh, he give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
He give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
Oh, he give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
He give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday

Anytime, anywhere, baby boy, I can misbehave
Breathe me in, breathe me out, fill me up
Running through your veins

He giving me that good shit
That make me not quit, that good shit
He giving me that good shit
That make me not quit, that good shit

Oh, he give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
He give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
Oh, he give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
He give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday

Make me go...
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Everyday, everyday
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Everyday, everyday

I put that work on you everyday
When the night fall 'til the sun come
You done fell in love with a bad guy
I don't compromise my passion
It's not what you do for me, I'm doing the same for you
I don't be tripping or making mistakes
I made too many in my past (that's right)
I fight for the things you believe in
I got your body and put it on drive and
I got the keys and
We about to take us a vacation
I'm about to put all this vintage loving on you
Baby like it was the late 80s
When you ride on me, baby rotate it

He giving me that good shit
That make me not quit, that good shit
He giving me that good shit
That make me not quit, that good shit

Oh, he give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
He give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
Oh, he give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
He give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday

Make me go...
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Everyday, everyday
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Everyday, everyday

Give it to me, to me
(She got me on it...)
Oh, he give it to me every day
(She got me on it...)
