^ If Mariah is being announced/added as a producer on November 28 and the show starts December 11, her involvement can't be too great hmmmm.
Anyway this guy wrote for John Oliver's HBO show and gives her a pep talk ha:

Stephen Colbert ended his monologue last night talking about "AIWFCIY" and then singing from it:
Queen of Christmas!

I know what me llamo means lol and it doesn’t make sense. The song isn’t about someone she just met. Unless she’s saying we can get drunk , so drunk I’ll start introducing myself?? Yeah she is essentially saying let’s pop those bottles, and I’ll get flirty and start telling you about myself. I hate to beat a dead horse because I’d actually accepted she was saying “me llamo” for the past two days but now I’m thinking not. The clean version bleeps out the word, me llamo doesn’t make sense, first in the general sense and definitely doesn’t make sense to censor, and mulatto *does* make sense to bleep out for a clean version. I’m thinking she says mulatto here. 🤷🏽♂️

First time I’ve seen any of these accounts predict Brenda to have a shot at eclipsing Mariah. I wonder how much of their predictions are based on the Spotify numbers, which is where Brenda leads but are the only tangible streaming numbers anyone gets. Seems Mariah leads elsewhere.

I don't know but I do know that AIWFCIY has held steady in the top 10 on Apple Music the past several days while RATCT is still dropping and hasn't made the top 25.

Regardless Brenda has been closing the gap recently, if not this week then it’s likely to happen at some point over the next month. Too bad for MC if so because there’s a potential 5 weeks at No. 1 Mariah could spend this year and get to 13 overall.

Well, when it happens, it happens.🤷♂️ A few years ago, no one imagined the song would do this well. 8 weeks is amazing and most definitely unexpected.
The best part of this is now I don't have to see people on this board constantly complaining, wishing, hoping that RATCT ascends to #1. That complaint won't be able to be made anymore. Now they can just concentrate on their constant whining every November and December about the Hot 100 being flooded with Xmas songs. It's not like these charts are exciting in the first place with all these album bombs. Many of these songs that most people, outside of those fanbases who bought those albums, have never heard of.

Here's a refresher of her song totals at #1. EDIT: #2 added for kicks
Vision of Love #1(4) Love Takes Time #1(3) Someday #1(2) I Don't Wanna Cry #1(2) Emotions #1(3) [Can't Let Go #2(1)] I'll Be There #1(2) Dreamlover #1(8) Hero #1(4) [Endless Love #2(1)] Fantasy #1(8) One Sweet Day #1(16) Always Be My Baby #1(2) Honey #1(3) My All #1(1) Heartbreaker #1(2) Thank God I Found You #1(1) [Loverboy #2(2)] We Belong Together #1(14) [Shake It Off #2(6)] Don't Forget About Us #1(2) Touch My Body #1(2) All I Want For Christmas Is You #1(8)
The fact that she could notch as many as 5 weeks this year is simply amazing!!

Not that it’s a song she’s looking to get charting but with how strong Christmas music this year is, there’s likely going to be some new entires on the hit 100, this could be Christmas baby please come homes Year….

Mariah Peloton artist series launching Friday! It's about damn time. Prior to this, the only Mariah songs they played were her covers (and WYB), I'm guessing because of licensing and such.

So crazy how quickly this is becoming a Christmas classic! When did AIWFCIY really become a Christmas staple? I feel like UTT has become a staple in less time. Depends on how you define 'staple,' but if you want to take a pure chart take on it, this is genuinely the correct answer: AIWFCIY has appeared on at least one Billboard chart every year since its release. Its initial chart appearances were on HAC and Radio Songs, as old Hot 100 rules rendered it ineligible to chart there. Once the H100 rules changed to allow airplay-only singles to chart, AIWFCIY made its first appearance the next holiday season (which in itself was impressive for a five-year old Christmas song with no physical single, during a time when there was no such thing as a 'Christmas song takeover'). After that, it charted in the top 10 on Hot 100 Recurrents every year until Billboard started allowing holiday songs to re-chart on the current Hot 100 again. The Daily Telegraph named it the UK's most played holiday song of the 2000s decade, indicating it entered the 21st century already a budding classic there. Now, the more hard-to-define moment where it became noticeably ubiquitous to the general public and not just a regular AI repeat on your AC station's playlist - I'd probably say it took ~11 years. I think Mariah smashing with The Emancipation of Mimi in 2005 also spilled over into that year's holiday season and gave AIWFCIY a turbo boost that ended up becoming permanent. AIWFCIY topped Digital Songs that year, and that is also the first year it began not only reaching the top ten on, but topping Hot 100 Recurrents...a convo better reserved for Mariah's thread but we lambs really should have a discussion one day about how TEOM's legacy runs even deeper than we give it credit for. That comeback album is indirectly why Mariah became the Queen of Christmas.To bring this back to Kelly though, while I'm not going to say UTT is moving as fast as or faster than AIWFCIY, it is nonetheless very impressive how well UTT continues to do with virtually no effort and Kelly herself somewhat competing 'against' it with subsequent releases. UTT is kind of a similar situation with 2000s AIWFCIY, where the artist in question is no longer on the label that released the song and there's not much incentive on either end to continually push it. I do wonder how long it will take for UTT to eventually nab a top 10 Hot 100 peak. There's hardly any competition from non-seasonal releases this year (the points UTT had last year at its peak would be enough to be top 5 this week), but she seems 'stuck' at #11 when looking at Christmas songs only. I think the point difference gets fairly narrow in the lower top 10/upper teens range the final one or two holiday chart weeks, so maybe even just one little thing like performing it on Kellyoke the week of Christmas could give it enough of a boost. An anniversary single for a quick sales boost could also push it in, but that would require some extra effort and coordination with RCA that I don't expect to happen. A re-recording will count as a separate chart entry and is not likely to do nearly as well as the original (see AIWFCIY 'extra festive' mix) so I don't think it would be worth it to try that and I'm sure Atlantic feels the same; they would rather try their chances with a new song altogether. Bringing this here because I don’t wanna make Kelly’s thread an MC discussion, etc. But the point you made about Emancipation is so true. It also helped AIWFCIY that 2005 Xmas season to top the iTunes song chart, something it didn’t do again until the 2019 season! That just shows how much the MIMI era helped Mariah’s image after what she went though with the general public. Of course it also helps that AIWFCIY is an incredibly crafted song. A masterpiece, IMO. Always felt that way about it, since the first moment I heard it.

I think the major turning point was Love Actually. That kind of brought it back to mainstream attention. It’s not like Xmas songs were blowing up the radio waves then like they were a few years after that when stations started doing Xmas only starting 12/1. Of course Mimi solidified her status as a not-former star and made it cool to like her again.

"Crybaby" just came up on shuffle so now I'm here to say I still am enamored with it. Rainbow era is far from her best but some of its song definitely are overlooked.

I think in the near future Billboard will definitely address this issue of releasing remixes from these artists' stores or releasing remixes later in the week before they address continuing to allow the influx of Xmas songs. This is just absolutely ridiculous.

I wonder if we will get any new Christmas music at all this year? It's December 1st yet we haven't had any news on that front. I feel like most of us were expecting/hoping to have her version of "Where Are You Christmas" (original demo or re-recorded, doesn't matter) this season finally, but that doesn't seem likely I guess...

It’s one of the greatest crimes Mariah didn’t do O Holy Night at St John the Divine in 1994. We don’t have footage of her ever doing that song completely live 😔

OHN and MYMACT both were two live performances that I would've loved to see.

We don’t have footage of her ever doing that song completely live 😔 Someone who works at a radio station that was there that night swears she did OHN that night. Also there was an MTV article from the 90’s about that night and I remember it mentioned her singing it. I was so disappointed when she released the footage and it wasn’t there. Ugh I still have hope it does exist and she’ll release it one day. Lol
