Everyone knows by now that Mariah Carey is the queen of the holiday season. The singer’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is the biggest seasonal smash of the modern era, and it’s the one that can’t be beaten whenever December rolls around—well, almost.

BTS star V replaces Carey on top of a Billboard chart this week. While “All I Want for Christmas Is You” soars to the summit on several rankings, including the Hot 100, V’s latest solo single debuts at No. 1 on a list that the chanteuse ruled just days ago.

V’s “Winter Ahead” launches atop the Holiday Digital Song Sales chart this week. The single, which credits fellow South Korean vocalist Park Hyo Shin, opens at No. 1 on Billboard’s list of the bestselling tracks that are closely connected to Christmas and the season.

Last week, the throne belonged to “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which is not unusual to see at this time of the year. Carey slips to second place, if only for one frame, as V and Shin’s collaboration sold significantly better than one of the bestselling Christmas cuts of all time.
