It's lame how the "HATEU" remix still isn't available to stream or download.

I love the crowd sing along to Mariah's iconic verse from "Fantasy."

Due to all this recent talk about Darlene Love, I recently found out that Mariah's version of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" hasn't charted on the Hot 100. That's honestly surprising, since it feels like her cover is one her most popular Christmas songs. Hopefully she and her team focus on promoting her version of the song so it can finally chart on the Hot 100 (and give yet another reason to prove that Darlene Love is wrong).

It doesn't have any type of official video (not even a lyric video) on her site and has never been pushed as a real single. Additionally it would have to make the top 50 of the Hot 100 to chart since it's so old. That's a tall order considering. Her version is platinum in the U.S., though, and has good streaming, so it is well known. I don't see Mariah ever putting a real push behind any holiday song she didn't write. She obviously wants to highlight herself as a writer, but also focus on the songs that get her paid lol. colson good news on "We Belong Together." On its way to 7x platinum!

When Darling Loveless sings a better version of this she can holla at me and I'll give her the Queen of Chrismas title.

Even though she didn't write "CBPCH," I do think it would be a good idea if they pushed it more. It's already doing very well, and I don't think any of her other originals, as good as they are, will outperform it. I always thought the reason it wasn't performed more was due to her respect for Darlene Love, but with Darlene's recent comments, I don't think she has to worry about being so deferential toward her now, lol. (I still like Darlene and understand she's been a Christmas Queen for decades, but undermining Mariah's impact wasn't cute.)

Still, Mariah’s version of the song is the only version certified Platinum, with no other version certified at all. Darlene doesn’t even have a certified song in her entire career.

Additionally it would have to make the top 50 of the Hot 100 to chart since it's so old. That's a tall order considering. I know it's a tall order but I think it's doable. Hasn't it already surpassed all other versions on streaming? I'm not saying she needs to go on a campaign blitz for the song but giving it little nudges to help it grow wouldn't hurt since it's been growing organically anyway. As you said, the song doesn't even have a lyric video, so why not put one out there? It wouldn't take much effort to do so. Little things like getting better playlisting for the song on streaming, pushing it more on radio, making sure it's a staple on all of her Christmas shows and specials, etc. could go a long way in helping a song that's already seen organic growth. I agree that she's likely to want to push her own original music. That said, her promoting a non-original Christmas song isn't completely out of the realm of possibility since she's done it before with "Joy to the World".

Agreed, I wish Mariah would push C(BCH) some more. At the very least, I wish she would get the video from last year’s Apple special on her YT channel. I think this has good potential to chart on the H100 with a bit more push. Lest we forget, OHN has a music video that will pass 100m streams on YT this holiday season.
And, promote OSR this season! Let’s get it to Gold or Platinum in the US this season.

I doubt Apple would let her post the video on her YT channel; they want that content to be Apple-exclusive because otherwise there's no need for people to have Apple TV+. I also don't think that video would count with the original version for the charts anyway since it's not the same version as the album version; it would be seen as a 'remix' or whatever, and remixes released that long after the original count as a new song for the charts. Sony needs to add a video that is set to the original album version to ensure it counts. A lyric video makes the most sense as I don't see Mariah filming an actual video for it at this point. I assume that stands for the "Oh Santa" remix? Anyway it's far from platinum. I would like to see it promoted, but I am not sure Mariah, Ariana, and J Hud would all be on board for a performance of it at this point. J Hud does have a new talk show, but at best I see Mariah going on there and talking, not performing.

I think it would be kind of cool if she did videos for all of her Christmas songs at some point like make a couple videos here and there until each song has a video some could be animated, some could be simple performance videos, some could have a general concept video. I would love if one of her Beacon concerts was recorded and got attached to a project much like Tokyo Dome got attached to Rarities.

It's honestly a no brainer to at least have official lyric videos for all of her holiday songs (and all of her songs in general for that matter). There are many unofficial lyric videos for "Without You," one of which has 47 million views. It's weird Sony wouldn't have one on her official channel to nab those streams.

C(BPCH) is low key my fav Mariah Christmas song, there is just something about it that excites me in a way that AIWFCIY does as well, but feels different still. I think bc it’s not as universally beloved (but still popular) it feels like it’s for the fans.
It’s always the first Christmas song I play each November 1. We’re getting close !

It’s a beautiful song. I always like the original but I absolutely love MC’s rendition. Even Darlene herself said it was her favorite rendition.

What did you think of Mariah Carey's "Fantasy," a huge hit built around a Tom Tom Club sample?
Tina Weymouth: I don't know if people realize that we don't make money from record sales or touring. That song paid for this album. We're just so happy to have a piece of her sales, just to have a little taste. I like that she dealt with the subject matter from a point of view of innocence, which I felt was really true to the spirit of the song. www.lawrence.com/news/2000/oct/12/seven_questions/

I think all of these except the debut are better than the chosen edits.

In everything I see of these two - from their interviews together in 1998 to clips like this where they talk about one another to how Mariah still talks about Whitney's passing - the affection they had for one another is so palpable.

But they will still behead or hang women if they commit perceived crimes lol. They just realized they could get a lot of tourist money by opening up and looking more modern.
