As Mariah Carey makes the move from current day hitmaker to legendary heritage act, she’s zeroing in on the lucrative nature of her catalogue.
Case in point her seasonal smash ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You.’
Find out what the festive chanteuse is up to after the jump…
Taking to Twitter, Carey shared a trailer touting the announcement that her classic cut is being made into an animated movie by Universal Pictures:

Well, collect those coins then Ms. Carey!
There’ll always be a part of us that longs for the chart-relevant Mimi of yesteryear. But moves like this re-affirm that she has a hit catalogue that continues to be the gift that keeps giving for her.
The moral of the story, folks? Make the most of one’s turn in the spotlight and it’ll never dim.
Mimi still makes great music.
Most of the truly talented artist aren’t climbing up the charts in currently times.
Most younger people are record buyers, so naturally MC wouldn’t be shooting to number one these days.
Least not even get into ageism against women.
Mariah is a legend and I’m happy to hear any music she decides to put out. I’m not concerned about who else is feeling “good music” when I’m listening to it.
Also, the term relevant needs to be retired with hater!
She will milk that record til she dies
She wrote it. She earned it.
Khia said in that live stream that her children’s children will be eating off the success of My Neck My Back…I SCREAMED like a mountain goat chile…but for REAL, Mimi’s children’s children will be FEASTING off the success of All I Want For Christmas Is You lol
@ Fancy and Kal, exactly, Mariah has that right.
And she has every right to, doofus.
Shut up Hop-on!
And very rightfully so by putting her name on the credits when she actually had written it, unlike others…
Very well said TGJ
Classics do indeed last forever.
Queen of Christmas!!! When will our favs???
I hope it’s done right and with taste. She’s a holiday staple now, and the fact that she wrote/produced a timeless classic. That song is probably the most iconic recording of any diva’s career at this point. Especially, of the past 25 years.
Big up to Mariah for capitalizing on her greatness.
Queen Of Hustle
Nice
