Britney Spears’ “My Only Wish (This Year)” is making waves again, reappearing on both of Billboard’s global charts this week.
The track, originally released in 2000, has been propelled back into the rankings thanks to the global celebration of the holiday season.
The song ranks No. 154 on the Billboard Global 200, marking its fourteenth appearance on the chart. It also rises from No. 187 to No. 135 on the Billboard Global Excl. US, where it has now spent 15 weeks.
This is a rare feat for Spears, who, despite being one of the world’s most famous pop stars, has only had a handful of hits on these global rankings since their introduction.
Originally part of the Platinum Christmas compilation album, which featured other pop icons like NSYNC, Christina Aguilera, and Backstreet Boys, the song was not initially released as a standalone single.
However, it eventually became widely available and has since become a holiday favorite, earning its place on these prestigious charts.
As fans eagerly await news of a potential comeback from Spears, her classic holiday hit continues to capture the hearts of listeners around the world.
