Susan Boyle has been around for what? 2 years? Holla at me when she's around in 20.

There was something about AIWFCIY that just screamed multi-format smash. I don't get that same feeling with Oh Santa! I'm a fan of them sending her format-specific tracks to those formats all at once only for the fact that the best songs for those formats are her ORIGINAL tracks and not the covers. When Christmas Comes, Christmas Time Is In The Air, and One Child all need proper exposure this holiday season. Christmas Time is in the air, I must say, is amazing. I feel like it may be the next All I Want For Christmas, in a feels-like-a-classic-already type of way. It's just gorgeous. I agree that it makes sense to send out multiple songs, because there are lots of good ones, and they only have like 2 months, until next year when I suppose they could promote it again.

People the album has already sold almost 90k within 2 wks. Chillout. The other Christmas albums that are out had small drops as well. Some of them. Susan has that demographic that buys her cds full on. She mainly makes covers, and her cd is at big box retailers. Mariahs is gonna start selling pretty damn good watch.

^ That's slightly better than the HDD predictions. It's a drop of 40.6% which isn't so bad. I expect the album to plummet position-wise on the chart next week with the 8 100k+ debuts coming up plus all the leftovers from last week. Hope it can stay consistent sales-wise, though.

I have the answer:
Billboard views it as a re-recording, after all- probably most importantly, the label would like to know how much its title specifically is selling.

I have decided after several listens that it is, in fact, 100% re-cut. Funny - for the amount of kvetching about Mariah's voice on these threads, we didn't even realize that the vocals on there weren't 1994 vocals. Maybe her voice is not as different as we think? :o

I bet she'll sing AIWFCIY for the Disney Parade. Usually the artist invited to the event sings 2 songs. So we'll see how well she sings it live. She usually does a stellar job singing this song.
I wonder what the other one would be?

Didn't she buy her catalogue from them, or something like that? ??? I remember reading something of that nature.

Yes, I paraphrased the reply. :)
The beginning of "Extra Festive" is different than the original- and then there are some subtle differences throughout. IDJ probably did reach out and request the separate charting, though.
Holiday sales will have peaked by the time the Disney Parade airs. But, I also have wondered what songs she will perform at events (other than the ABC special, that is).

I didn't mentioned that in regards to sales, I was refering to how she'll sound live singing the song again after quite some time. :)
