‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’: Mariah Carey Dominates iTunes UK With Classic Single

…and Mariah Carey‘s annual chart domination continues!

Indeed, as the world awaits the release of her brand new album ‘The Art of Letting Go’, ‘Vision of Love’ performer has welcomed the renewed interest in her Christmas classic ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ today.

Positive news for the Pop icon below…

As Christmas Day approaches, British music lovers storm iTunes on the hunt for the number- which has been placed on various compilation releases since its 1993 arrival.

It’s for this reason, that the number now holds three different spots on the chart’s Top 60 today! One of these, being via ‘NOW That’s What I Call Christmas‘, another being through 2010’s ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You (Extra Festive)’ and the last thanks to its original supporting album ‘Merry Christmas.’

This news comes as ‘Christmas’ rides the Holiday wave to iTunes USA’s #19 spot, currently outselling Lady GaGa‘s #1 album ‘ARTPOP‘ and Katy Perry‘s ‘Prism’ which is now placed at #36.

With the above glory in mind, here’s hoping Mariah is crafting material just as timeless for the aforementioned ‘Go.’

For, while ‘Beautiful’ ticked many a chart topping box earlier this year, ‘Go’s supporting single of the same name has struggled to do so, by way of a cumbersome sound that’s far too ‘wordy’ for the general public to latch on to.

Indeed, if ‘Beautiful’ was a gourmet dinner carefully tailored to appease the mass’ tastebuds, ‘Letting Go’ is a three course dinner far too rich for ears who need to sing-along with what she’s serving.

However, all isn’t lost…as there’s still time for Camp Carey to hunt for cuts that strike a clean balance between what Mimi wants and what the masses need.

See below for a few good examples…

    Good for her. I feel they should buy Leona Lewis’ Christmas album too, it is AMAZING.

  2. Lydia December 6, 2013

    Nothing new. Its my all time fave Xmas song.

  3. Super Cisus December 6, 2013

    Ok.

  4. Mark111 December 6, 2013

    So with the new BB rules, MC will have a hit every year. Gone with yo bad self.

    Is that a song a cover or did she write it on her own? If she made that song, then she making money every year off that song.

  5. GagitaMaraj December 6, 2013

    Mariah shows these other girls how to do it 2bh. Mean girl personality aside, she is a Queen and is embarrassing Kelly and Ciara who can’t even get a hit with their new songs.

  6. ratedx(love is beautiful) December 6, 2013

    mimi’s xmas albums always sells the most when it comes to the holidays….

    hell my job started playing her xmas songs in october, on repeat….

    i love mimi and all but i hate xmas music so yea, thank God I have my own office, because if i had to hear all i want for xmas is you, one more time……

  7. KissesForKelly December 6, 2013

    To the hating ass Gaga fan, TAGG has made more impact than AP has so stop.

  8. RiriRoyale December 6, 2013

    Can we stop the Kelly / Ciara comparisons please. Kelly can actually sing.

  9. truth December 6, 2013

    Mariah wrote all I want for Christmas

  10. ratedx(love is beautiful) December 6, 2013

    as for her new album, the only people who are worried about her singles on the chart, or her album sales, are the bitter h***

    because her real fans knows the bish aint got s*** else to prove,

    people like mariah, madonna, janet, celine dion, britney, aint got s*** else to prove to anybody…WHY?

    once you past the diamond album phase, selling out tours after a decade, making money just sitting on your ass doing nothing….while other h*** has to tour, has to have a number 1 single

    what else is there to prove?

  11. ShowMeLove December 6, 2013

    Ciara’s songs are better than Kelly’s and Ciara made the effort with her promotion so the only thing they have in common is their genre.

  12. Marcel December 6, 2013

    That song is a classic and I think will be foever sung… Mariah Carey is such a great artist…

    check out “Starry Christmas” by new artist Marcel

  13. Yup! December 6, 2013

    On Wednesday, fading pop star Lady Gaga announced her upcoming ARTPOP Ball Tour. She is playing a lot less dates this time around.

    In what appears to be good news for the fans Lady Gaga has left, many tickets are going for the ultra-low price of $35. It’s pretty much the equivalent of a one-star hotel deal. Only two years ago, most Gaga tickets sold for almost $200.

    It gets worse. Lady Gaga is giving away free copies of her flop CD ARTPOP with ticket purchases to further inflate sales figures. Just this past week, Amazon.com, Walmart, and Target were practically giving ARTPOP away for free. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    An industry source tells us that he doubts the tour will go on. “She faked a hip injury to get out of her last tour, which was reduced to playing in parking lots. You can expect Gaga to claim a spinal cord injury on this tour once she realizes ticket sales won’t make up for the production costs.”

  14. Anon December 6, 2013

    It makes me laugh when people say so and so has nothing to prove.
    If Tina had taken that approach are River Deep Mountain High would she have made What’s Love Got to do With It?
    Would Madonna have slayed us with Vogue AFTER she gave us LAP?
    Would MJ have changed the world with Man In The Mirror AFTER Thriller.

    EVERY ARTIST has something to prove so keep on thinking Mariah is exempt and watch her flop.

  15. ratedx(love is beautiful) December 6, 2013

    what people dont’ realize is that mariah wrote alot of her hit songs, I’m talking about actually writing a whole song, not add a comma, or change he to she, smash into smack…

    hence why mariah doesnt need to tour or huge endorsements, to make twice as much as somebody who has to tour, who has to have endorsements…

    it’s better to write some songs on your album verses hiring a songwriter,,,whitney had alot of hits, but the songwriters was and is the only people making money off those hits

  16. RockinRiri December 6, 2013

    @Marcel Please, stop disturbing us with your songs. I hate it a dream killer but you are not a star and your voice isn’t that remarkable, so keep your day job please.

  17. FentySoSnatched December 6, 2013

    Delusion! Mariah did not write her own songs. Tommy pressured her writers into giving her credit. Do you research boo boo.

  18. Ariana’sGrand December 6, 2013

    Not the Lambs think Mariah actually wrote those songs.

  19. Monica Fan December 6, 2013

    Rated X is so illiterate talking about writing. ‘The songwriters was and is the only people making money’ Worry about how to use basic grammar yourself not how the millionaire pop stars remain making stupid money regardless. Always trying to throw flop shade and shading itself in the process.

  20. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    Thought this was a Mariah post, why do i see king ci name all over this post tho?

  21. Ariana’sGrand December 6, 2013

    Not the Lambs thinking Mariah actually wrote those songs.

  22. Monica Fan December 6, 2013

    Anyway congrats Mimi. Her Xmas songs will live forever.

  23. BumpLikeKelly December 6, 2013

    Iconic Cici should be happy people are still talking about NoPromoAra. Kelly is slaying on the X Factor and the only shows NoPromoAra can book are in run down nightclubs. Now how YOU doing.

  24. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    Does Ariana write anything sis?

  25. Amras December 6, 2013

    She’s making money every year! She wrote a classic.

  26. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    WAIT! B**** YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT NO PROMO WHILE STANNING FOR KELLY LAZYLAND?LOL THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST LAZEST B****** IN THE INDUSTRY KELLY IS KNOWN FOR NO PROMO GIRL THAT’S WHY TAGG STRUGGLED AND FAILED TO GET A TOP 40 HIT.

  27. Ariana’sGrand December 6, 2013

    @IconicBabymama I only talk to people whose faves sell more than 60k first week.

  28. Rosie December 6, 2013

    Well the song is a classic, I’ll give her that.
    You all fighting about writing credits. The irony with some of you.

  29. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    Oh is that right sis? Well were is Arianas PLATINUM PLAQUE b****? Or even gold plaque while were at it. calm down ariana is a fad she’ll be irrelevant by next year with her horrible acting ass.

  30. Draggin4MrsCarter December 6, 2013

    Kelly and Ciara fans are so pitiful.

  31. Keyshia Del Rey December 6, 2013

    Ciara tried to slay but got bored of trying and Kelly never tried at all.

  32. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    Beyonce fans arent any better you dirty b****** are the worse.

  33. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    Keyshia cole career aint s*** h** aint have a hit since let it go, & lana is just a useless pathetic b**** @KeyshiaFagRey

  34. BarbBey December 6, 2013

    If you combined TAGG’s first week sales with Ciara’s first week sales they still don’t even match Beyonce’s lowest ever first week sale.
    In fact, Nicki outsold Kelly Rowland’s entire US discography with PF.

  35. Rosie December 6, 2013

    What is a Ciara?

  36. Rir4Ever December 6, 2013

    Who cares. Mariah is a has-been. Time to stay home.

    🙁

  37. Rosie December 6, 2013

    OMG screaming at that Marcel song. I feel bad but still. Worse than Britney Jean.

  38. KDreamer(MiguelHitIt) December 6, 2013

    C Squad members talking about Queenshia Cole?
    Check her solo resume, check Ciara’s and Kelly’s and then get back to us.

  39. AubreyOSlay December 6, 2013

    Not Slaycel slaying my ear drums with his Christmas smash hit though. I was not ready for the Cassie Ventura realness.

  40. Antonia Alsina December 6, 2013

    Marcel durling, where I can buy your song?

  41. Tropicana Lana December 6, 2013

    August Alsina has stans?

  42. Lana Del Slay December 6, 2013

    @TropicanaLana Yes sis, they’re called the Warrants.

  43. cake like lady gaga December 6, 2013

    Lana will never have such an impact doe.. Aint that why her stans are so pressed? 😀

  44. Antonia Alsina December 6, 2013

    Yall got jokes, but I see why you mad. Id be a hater too if i stanned for a flop like Lana, b**** can’t even get a number one in her own country.

  45. Tropicana Lana December 6, 2013

    @CakeLikeLadyGaga Tropico slayed everything Gaga has ever done in life though.

  46. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    Lana stans mad cause lana is nothing but a depressed alcoholic.

  47. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    August shits on all new comers

  48. RoyaLorde December 6, 2013

    @IconicCici You are clearly high and drunk if you think August slays all newcomers.

  49. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    He does slay all male new comers.

  50. RoyaLorde December 6, 2013

    Lorde is obviously the best BUT if we’re talking about black people, it’s between Elijah and Jhene but she’s not really new.

  51. cake like lady gaga December 6, 2013

    @tropic dead though at Lorde, a 17 year old mopping the charts with Lana’s wig… I can see why you Lana stans (trolls) are mad as F*ck

    Kiii

  52. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    Jhene is amazing and seriously underrated. but not really a fan of Elijah.

  53. TruthAboutPink December 6, 2013

    Are we having this debate again? August Alsina won’t last as a singer because he hasn’t got much class even though he comes across like a nice guy. I don’t like all his songs but Elijah has much more potential imo.

  54. Iconic cici December 6, 2013

    Girl pink has no class and she made it pretty far August will be fine.

  55. Rosie December 6, 2013

    The T***** stan cares more about Lana than his own fave. Maybe it can explain why like 90% of its post from the past day are about the queen. Still seething because So Legit ended T*****’s career.

  56. TruthAboutPink December 6, 2013

    Pink does have class, she is just wild, there is a big difference. Elijah is handsome and all my white and black friends love him, August can only appeal to one demo.

  57. GS December 6, 2013

    For the record Mariah wrote AIWFCIY and she produced the song with her former partner in crime musically that is Walter A. He himself said Mariah was main songwriter behind a lot of the songs they did together. Even her Ex-husband Tommy M gave MC her props as an amazing songwriter when he was promoting his book earlier this year. So to answer anyone’s question MC is the real deal when it comes to the art of songwriting.

  58. Tropicana Lana December 6, 2013

    My point exactly, the CiFlops are hoodrats so they don’t understand.

  59. Grump December 6, 2013

    She wrote and co produced it. It’s all hers.

  60. Dreamlover December 6, 2013

    Slay a biT MiMi! I think it’s funny that Mariah originally was super opposed to recording/writing a Christmas album. It was her husband/manager Tommy Mottola that supposedly got her to do it, and it gave birth to one of the best-selling iconic singles of her career! I’m sure she’s probably happy he got her to do it after all 🙂

  61. JOHNVIDAL December 6, 2013

    Of course!
    Mariah is slaying in the USA charts right now too. Both the single and the album “Marry Christmas” are top 20 or so right now in itunes over there. Doing well all over the world, as usual. These music is 20 years old and it sells every year. She´s a f****** true great! I see no album/song released 20 years ago in the charts, not even other Xmas songs or something.

  62. cake like lady gaga December 6, 2013

    The canadian t***** must stop trolling TGJ and go across the boarder to USA and buy its faves album so it can at least go platinum

  63. Rosie December 6, 2013

    ^See what I mean? The obsession. Meanwhile none of its posts in the past day mention T*****.

  64. Super Cisus December 6, 2013

    August Alsexina >>>>>>>> Elijah Flopke >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Smelly Kelly

  65. cake like lady gaga December 6, 2013

    Not the canadian t***** trying it doe.. Case of pot calling kettle black.. It spends its time on the library internet to check what position GaGa is in on the charts and it comes and posts the info on tgj..

    I think IT is the one that’s obsessed

  66. Stop the drama Start the music December 6, 2013

    To the hating ass Kelly NOland fan, when will Kelly ever have an iconic song like Bad Romance? Sell as many albums as my fave did in 3 years?
    Not to mention Lana’s tropico video may have been good but it won’t slay like the Bad Romance video did. Lana fans don’t get cocky. Gaga may be flopping but she has made an impact in pop music. Ur fave has catching up to do.

  67. Super Cisus December 6, 2013

    Rosie your such a pathetic d*** who wants to join c squad so bad. Sorry no drunk Canadian d*** b****** allowed 🙁

  68. cc December 6, 2013

    That was We Belong Together. She continually has proven that she is still on top. Does not mean that that is what she wants anymore. When you write produce and basically create your own music, that process is all that matters.

  69. Rosie December 6, 2013

    No transgendered flops allowed, either.
    Am sorry Ciara’s toes are longer than her career.

  70. Stephy Tha Lambily December 6, 2013

    Mariah Carey & everone over the age of 40 in this industry is a HAS BEEN. You cant be number 1 forever in this young persons game. But what you do in your prime is what matters. When Mariah dies her music will sell so much more. Once the radios & media start promoting all her old school classics to the younger generation after Mimi passes. You will see the amazing musical power her catologue has. 1990 – 1997 albums of Mariah are VOCAL & MELODY MASTERPIECES. And she has 15 songs from that era we never even herd. She is a legend. Also, Mimi does not have anything else to prove. She does not need a 100+ million dollar tour cause she has writers & producers & singers credicts. Anually every christmas Mariah will make atleast 10 Million bucks off that amazing holiday album & single.
    The Emancipation Of Mimi is what made Mariah a legend. That album was her comeback. It became her 10 MULTI platinum selling album. And her 10th album to sell over 10 million copies. She maybe a hasbeen but she HAS DONE IT RIGHT & LEFT A LEGACY OF MUSIC THAT WILL STILL SELL. “Vision Of Love” still sounds fresh 24 years later.

  71. theman December 6, 2013

    When u are a legend and have a platinum selling single, along with an annual hit song and one or two seasonal holiday albums that chart constantly, u are not a has been. Legends aren’t has beens. Has beens don’t score platinum selling singles. Their albums don’t continue to constantly sell. Look at J & Em they are doing their damn thing, and so is Mary. Your statement lacks authentic validity..

  72. chica December 6, 2013

    Mariah Co-wrote the song with Walter Afanasieff. They wrote many songs together in the early ro mid 90’s including hero.

    Nothing new here though, Mariah always slays with that song every year at christmas.

  73. PAUL1 December 6, 2013

    LMFAO @ Ciara’s toes being longer than her career

  74. FutureCIARA December 6, 2013

    Another posts comment section turned into press for Ciara!!!!!

    She wins!

    Her number one fan should really get something special @Rosie, Thanks for keeping my fav more relevant than yours sweetheart!

  75. JER December 6, 2013

    Honestly, HONESTLY, let’s not get carried away. This happens EVERY year. I’ll be shocked and pleasantly surprised when a NEW Mariah charts…. well anywhere. AIWFCIY slays every year, year after year.

  76. Rosie December 6, 2013

    Anyways Lana was nominated for two Grammys tonight. Didn’t the power bottoms on this site said they were going to ignore her again? Didn’t the forum homosexuals say that no one cares about her in the US? Didn’t the ATL drag queens say Cierror was going to dominate yet she was completely snubbed? I am getting my LIFE right now.

  77. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    TGJ needs to post about the Grammy nominations 2014, and how LORDE is snatching 4 nominations and SHITTTING on Lana’s entire Career!!!!!!!

    Like I’ve been saying all along, Lana will be NON-EXISTENT in 2014. And Lana fans can keep that ONE nomination….

    So save yourselves the drag and DONT come back bragging about that!

  78. FutureCIARA December 7, 2013

    The 2 categories Lana is in, she has a 0% chance of winning….. Compared to who she is up against.

    So Rosie calm down and keep your dickk tucked gwarl…

  79. Rosie December 7, 2013

    YES f**.
    Give me LIFE.
    KEEP bandwagoning for Borde because Cierror was paid absolute DUST.

    The Dalai Lana is also guarenteed that Oscar for Best Original Song since Adele already won last year.

  80. Adrian December 7, 2013

    How do people still not know that she wrote this song in the summer of 1994? This is HER song. She could never release another album and still be paid from her original Christmas song being ranked as a classic immediately upon release.

  81. Adrian December 7, 2013

    So did #Beautiful not hit #15 or….?

  82. Adrian December 7, 2013

    I also never remember Mariah stating that “Letting Go” was a single. She simply uploaded it to Facebook for the lambs and did a little promo to give people an update on her health and the upcoming album. Typically artists release “singles” to radio and release videos to go with them. Island knows better than to under-promote in this day and age. Believe me, considering that this will probably be Mariah’s last album with Island before she heads to another label promotion will be massive for this album when it officially gets finished.
