Do you think if Mariah released "Christmas Time Is In The Air Again" as the first single off MCIIY that the album would've done better out of the gate that year? She tried the upbeat first single but maybe people compared it too much to AIWFCIY. I'm wondering if CTIITAA would have become a holiday standard if it was given a first single treatment and promotion.

^It could have gotten some AC play, but I don't think it's the type of track that would garner a lot of play. I love it, though.

While I don't think it would have gotten huge airplay overall, it might have helped the album more in that AC holiday albums (think Susan Boyle, Josh Groban, Michael Buble) tend to sell really well. "Oh Santa" has a younger vibe and likely didn't pull adults in the way some other songs might have. Pushing "CTIITAA" may have helped her reach the adult demo more. "One Child" may have been better as a lead single as well.

It's crazy how revered publications can't even get simple facts like the year of an album's release right.

She sang both Christmas(Baby Please Come Home) and Silent Night. For some reason I didn't think she would sing those two songs. She sounds great!

Search Twitter.
I brought tickets to Thursday's show because I was scared she would need a couple nights to warm up. But mama is on point tonight!

"Hero"? So much for all holiday music. Maybe she'll perform a different non-holiday tune each night.
