So glad it #1s reached 6x platinum! Also nice to see that of Mariah's multiplatinum singles, 4 are from the 2000s/2010s.

For my money Mariah has five truly great original holiday songs, all of a different kind. "AIWFCIY" goes without saying, but is her Spector-like uptempo wall-of-sound classic. "CTIITAA" is her old school jazzy/Sinatra type holiday song that sits alongside "The Christmas Waltz" or "The Christmas Song." "Miss You Most" is her mournful holiday ballad along the lines of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and "White Christmas" but feels a bit more modern (maybe because of her vocal). "When Christmas Comes" is of course her stab at a "This Christmas" type soul holiday song, and to me it works really well. And then "Fall In Love at Christmas" is her scaled back almost acoustic/folk ballad like "Greensleeves" (it's literally based on that one) or "Away in a Manger." I think all of those original songs are as good as the ones they sit next to.
What other genre of holiday song is left for her to conquer? She does have the more hymn/inspiration type songs of "Jesus Born on This Day" and "One Child." I like both, but neither feels like a classic to me, though that's also not my favorite genre so that could be genre bias on my part. I guess "Lil Snowman" would fit more of the bluesy/rock holiday song like "Run Rudolph Run," the Eurythmics "Winter Wonderland," or even "Merry Christmas Baby" to an extent, and it's of course literally modeled on the first. It's ultimately pretty rote/limp, though, so I'd like to see her write another song in that lane and take it serious. It could be similar to "Jingle Bell Rock" too. I guess a synthy "Last Christmas" type song is left as well, which would fit current sounds anyway.

Good to see #1’s get that certification. It would probably be higher if Sony didn’t get greedy and create so many compilation albums to dilute the pool so to speak.
As to original holiday songs, I love most of what Mariah has done AIWFCIY, Christmas Time is in the Air Again, When Christmas Comes, Miss You Most, and everything else while nice is not something I would go to revisit. I think the only one I never revisit is One Child.
I would be down for her to turn Little Mariah into an animated series for the children, and it would be a great way to introduce herself to a new generation using her music and maybe even creating random musical moments and start them out with good taste in music. Get that TV producing credit maybe even an Emmy for Children’s Programming.

With over 27M monthly listeners, Mariah now has entered the top 100 artist list on Spotify at #97.
Mariah is one of just a hand full of female artists who have crossed 60M monthly listeners (with 63M+) and the only pre-2000 female artist to do so.
Let’s see how high she can go this season!

I can see why Mariah went to the spirited premier. She is mentioned a few times in the movie. Queen of Christmas 🤶

Darlene where were ya? LizChan where were ya? Darlene hasn’t charted on the HOT100 in decades…3 decades to be exact. As for Chan, Billboard doesn’t even know her as she has never charted on ANY Billboard chart. She’s trying to come for Mariah and paint this narrative on her at a chance of relevancy.
