In the US, Merry Christmas is #26 on the Pop Catalogue chart. It's 12 positions higher than Celine's Dion's These Are Special Times and could have very well overtaken it in total US Soundscan sales, but don't get too excited until we see figures.

In the UK, All I Want For Christmas Is You has sold 398,328 copies to date.
