Christmas song

Commenting on her Christmas song's 30th anniversary and its everlasting success, Carey said, “It’s really rewarding, and I’m just grateful and thankful for it and for all the people that come up and say, ‘I love your music,’ or, ‘I listen to your Christmas music in July’ — that started to become a thing,” she said.

Someone once told me — actually, it was my late mother — that it was the saddest Christmas song ever.

But she’d never written a Christmas song until she and her collaborator Walter Afanasieff cranked one out over the course of a summer afternoon: a cheery, uptempo number driven by jingling sleigh bells, lush girl-group vocal harmonies and an inhumanly speedy keyboard lick.

Her holiday single “All I want for Christmas is You” is the best selling Christmas song by a female artist of all time.

Their New Heights podcast ended 2023 as the sixth biggest podcast in the United States,, external they have had their own Amazon Prime documentary, have appeared on Saturday Night Live and recorded a Christmas song which made it to the number one spot on iTunes.
