It’s the time of the season, snow falling from the sky, stockings hung over the fireplace, gifts under the tree, and the radio is on. But do you hear that? It’s Mariah Carey sweeping the airwaves with All I Want for Christmas is You. This song has become the unavoidable jingle for the holidays for years and it doesn’t seem to want to disappear. The song has appeared in all sorts of mediums, such as Christmas movies and streaming platforms.
As a matter of fact, the song became the #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 2019. That is quite impressive since the song was released in 1994, 25 years since it first broke everyone’s’ radios and TV sets. When it hit #1, Carey tweeted with joy with the words “We did it” along with certain emojis to express her happiness.
