Yaaas mariah Queen ????
Many don’t know this but “Where are you Christmas” by Faith Hill was written by Mariah. She was denied singing it by Tommy Mottola for the Grinch soundtrack … So you could say Mariah has two songs on this list. Slay, KWEEN of Christmas!
U learn something new everyday.
Queen of Christmas
“3.2 million and counting.” -Mariah Carey
lol
HEY TGJ! I see y’all dusty ass site still going…

Anyways, MY QUEEN! Where Are You Christmas was written/sung by Mariah but her ex-sugar daddy stole it from her. She is the QUEEN of Christmas! Imagine recording a Christmas album in 1994, watching it become the best selling holiday album of all time & it’s lead single selling more than 14 million[ physical/digital singles globally combined WW 20+ years later… Mariah can definitely relate! LEGEND
Why did FATTY MOTOLA stop her from recording that song???
Is anyone surprised? She created an American classic with this song. It won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
She has two songs on this list as a songwriter which is another amazing accomplishment in itself. This woman has earned her place as a legend based on her discography alone as a singer-songwriter. But there is no denying the Christmas season belongs to Mariah.
She’s done & is doing so much. She is ‘GREAT’ for sure. She has accomplished so much. This woman’s talent has no limit..
All I want for Christmas is the best Christmas song EVER.
Especially when my friends and i are drûnk the day after Christmas and serves as the theme song for our secret Santa
Mariah will never be forgotten. Honestly, to be as associated with Christmas as she is at this point, via classic material to boot, has ensured that no matter the performance of any particular era she comes off of.., whether disappointing, solid or TEOM level epic, by December in any year she can turn the narrative (vocal health withstanding) into a win that re-affirms her status as a bonafied super star. The last couple of years have gone a long way to rebuilding her reputation as a singer worthy of praise. I saw her in London and she blew me away. The reality.., err excuse me, ‘Docu-Series’ if handled correctly, will only boost her profile as a funny and relateable talent and help to undue some of the chaos that has surrounded her image. All of which, should build quite nicely toward buzz for a new original album. The fans have asked and she has delivered, putting in the effort on all fronts; body, voice and team on lock.., she deserves another epic era.
Mariah will probably make money off Christmas at least for the next 2,000 years lol. She has the most iconic pop Christmas album/song in history.
The christmas Queen! Love Mariah.
Nice
Damn
Mariah and Brenda Lee! LÉGEND.
