Posted by: Jade 9th October 2020, 08:39 PM



^ Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey has just posted this photo alongside the Christmas tree emoji on twitter!

The internet has very quickly speculated that these other initials are Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson ohmy.gif

Let's hope so cheeseblock.png

new version of All I Want For Christmas ohmy.gif

Posted by: Slick 9th October 2020, 08:44 PM

Original song please!

Posted by: HausofGhibli 9th October 2020, 08:49 PM

Alex Gaudino and J Hus are coming cheer.gif

Posted by: Wall 9th October 2020, 09:18 PM

I was like Mariah and J Lo!!

Posted by: Jade 18th November 2020, 02:24 PM

So Mariah Carey revealed on her instagram story that both Ariana and Jennifer Hudson are a part of her Christmas special!

But the news gets better... Hollywood Reporter have also revealed that the three of them are doing a new version of Mariah's 'Oh Santa!' - to be released as a single and with a music video coming out *.* 4th December 2020 so not too long to wait at all, yay!



I was NOT expecting this - thought if they were going to redo a Mariah song then it'd be 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' ohmy.gif I guess she got the U.S. #1 last year though and it's now the 10th anniversary of 'Oh Santa!' so that makes sense. I'm really excited - 'Oh Santa!' is so underrated *.*

The original:



Edit: Ariana has now acknowledged the Christmas special *.*

A new version of Oh Santa ohmy.gif

Unexpected but good to see it get some attention and what a power house trio to have on the same song!

Posted by: JulianNial 18th November 2020, 03:13 PM

I've never heard the original 'Oh Santa!' before but I can really imagine it with the trio and WHAT a trio it is!

Posted by: dannjohn 18th November 2020, 03:17 PM

It was whispered last year that Mariah wanted to do something with OS so i'm not overly surprised...

I see, that must have completely passed me by then laugh.gif

Excited to see how this will do, particularly in the U.S. - Ariana and Mariah the queens of #1 debuts!

Apple playlisting should be in their favour due to Mariah’s Christmas special being an Apple event.

Curious to see if the OCC will allow this onto SCR or not. I think it definitely has a better case for being reset than 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'.

One week to go cheeseblock.png

Posted by: Slick 27th November 2020, 09:21 AM

I know I said that I wanted this to be an original song but I LOVE 'Oh Santa, and can imagine a version with Ariana and Jennifer. It isn't very well known so I hope this helps it to smash.

Posted by: Jade 27th November 2020, 02:53 PM

I'm still listening to Christmas music sparingly but gave the original another play earlier and it's SO feel-good, excited for it to finally become more well known *.*

The trailer for Mariah's Christmas special has just dropped and Ari appears in it:



Can't wait wub.gif

Posted by: Liam.k. 27th November 2020, 03:34 PM

I remember hearing the original back when it was released but didn't think much of it - it's sounding much better today! I can definitely envision Ariana singing on this and elevating it to another level.

Posted by: JulianNial 27th November 2020, 05:55 PM

Well that's got me pumped! It looks stunning!

Posted by: Lukuzz 27th November 2020, 07:12 PM

Can't wait for this

Posted by: Slade 2nd December 2020, 12:00 AM

2 days to go wub.gif this talented trio get the honour of being my Christmas signature as the hype is real cheeseblock.png

Posted by: Jay* 2nd December 2020, 12:25 AM

So ready for this wub.gif In my wildest dreams it would become Mariah's 20th US #1!

cheeseblock.png so cute that she's had a similar journey with both her Gaga and Mariah love this year heart.gif

Posted by: Tafty 4th December 2020, 12:20 AM



Adorable! Ari really has lived out her best life in 2020 didn't she? laugh.gif Wow.

Posted by: Slade 4th December 2020, 12:24 AM

Omg that is so sweet cry.gif to think back in the day the media used to pit them against each other!

The '34+35' video coming out at a sensible time in the U.K. was a one-off as this is back to 5am this time laugh.gif can't wait to wake up to it *.*

Posted by: Liam.k. 4th December 2020, 06:37 AM



Ariana really is such a natural fit on this song!

Posted by: Dexton 4th December 2020, 07:25 AM

What if this is the song that blocks AIWFCIY from #1 this year? laugh.gif

Posted by: Lukuzz 4th December 2020, 07:26 AM

This is amazing, all 3 sound perfect. And that harmonised whilste ❤️

Apple Music are pushing this hard, let’s hope they’re as corrupt as Amazon!

Posted by: Slade 4th December 2020, 07:46 AM

Well that has started my day off on a very cheerful note, love it wub.gif I was really hoping that Ariana would have a whistle moment here somewhere - her doing it at the same time as Mariah was an even better idea *.* I agree that she suits the song really well - the ill-fitting ‘Good As Hell’ remix long forgotten kink.gif

Posted by: LMLou 4th December 2020, 07:55 AM

#2 on Apples New Music playlist, but not even on Spotify’s New Music Friday. Quite surprised by that even considering Mariah’s Apple deal for this

Apple are pushing hard though it’s already on their biggest Xmas Playlist, Today’s Hits and Future Hits

Posted by: No Sleeep 4th December 2020, 07:59 AM

I hope Spotify doesn’t punish AIWFCIY too

Posted by: Botchia 4th December 2020, 09:49 AM

It’s a cute collab and different enough from the original. J Hud really brought the vocals!!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 4th December 2020, 10:00 AM

I f***ing love this.

Posted by: Alohomara 4th December 2020, 10:37 AM

Really cute video and song. Full circle moment indeed.

Posted by: Lukuzz 4th December 2020, 10:41 AM

If this got to number 1 instead of AIWFCIY I wouldn't be mad. Come on Ariana fans 😂

Posted by: Slade 4th December 2020, 11:02 AM

Will be streaming and downloading! Currently #7 on iTunes cheer.gif

Seen a lot of appreciation for the syncronised whistle notes on social media heart.gif

Spotify are so petty. pirate.gif

Posted by: Slade 4th December 2020, 04:33 PM

#1 on U.K. iTunes! Yes girls cheeseblock.png

Posted by: Lukuzz 4th December 2020, 05:34 PM

Amazing. Hope it does well elsewhere although might be low on Spotify since they seem to have snubbed it

Posted by: Slade 4th December 2020, 06:35 PM

It has also reached #1 on US iTunes! No matter where it ends up (curse you Spotify) I'm so happy to see it going down well.

Posted by: Voodoo 4th December 2020, 08:58 PM

When will we know if it's put on SCR or ACR by the OCC?

Posted by: ...ready for it 5th December 2020, 10:12 PM

I've been streaming it!

Posted by: Mack'sXmasSack 5th December 2020, 11:53 PM

This is pretty good, was the original given a UK release?

Posted by: Slade 7th December 2020, 04:45 PM

#57 in the mids - still doing well on iTunes and Apple, but the erasure on Spotify playlists seems to be proving quite a mountain to climb sad.gif

All I can remember about this at the time was it getting spammed on Starz TV music channel as that's how I discovered it laugh.gif so, it had music channel rotation for sure, but otherwise, can anyone else shed some light on this? I've just had a look at the thread from the time and the last post from 2010 was something along the lines of "what happened to this getting released?" in late November of that year, so maybe it just never did.

Posted by: Liam.k. 7th December 2020, 05:11 PM

Starz TV!! Yes I remember it being all over the music channels, I don't think I particularly liked it at the time but this new remix has made me see it an a whole new light.

Btw to answer this question it is on SCR! Plus Ariana has been credited by the OCC. So both of the things I wanted... but its progress still hampered too much </3

laugh.gif what a throwback, one of my dream jobs back then was to be the person who responded to the texts on there rotf.gif glad you're appreciating it more nowadays! heart.gif

Love it! laugh.gif Couldn't you send in photos of yourself that would appear in the bottom corner as well? Always thought it was odd people took the time to do that or were even brave enough to have their face on TV. laugh.gif

Posted by: Slade 8th December 2020, 04:49 PM

Finally created my Christmas playlist for 2020 and this has gone straight to the top *.*

That's right!! laugh.gif people sending in pictures, texting cryptic messages about crushes... and occasionally requesting music kink.gif

Posted by: Slade 11th December 2020, 03:20 PM

Ooh this has now been added to Spotify's 'Christmas Hits' playlist - showing up as track #12 for me ohmy.gif glad there's some support on the platform now!

Posted by: Slade 11th December 2020, 06:01 PM

This landed at #67 this week - happy that 'Oh Santa!' has now finally charted here in some form. Fingers crossed for it to rise next week with the belated Spotify help!

Posted by: Lukuzz 11th December 2020, 07:06 PM

Glad it managed top 75. Would love it to get higher now Spotify are supporting it but I can't see it

Posted by: Slade 13th December 2020, 02:24 PM

Entered the Spotify top 200 for the first time today!

Posted by: Michael Bubré 15th December 2020, 11:12 PM

Entered at #76 on the Hot 100, seems to be counted as a new entry despite the original version also (barely) charting when it came out.

U.K. chart position almost mirrors this one in the U.S. as it's fallen to #77 this week!

A shame that it hasn't cracked the top 40 but I'm glad this remix has resulted in 'Oh Santa!' finally charting here and achieving a new peak in the U.S., small victories.

Lovely photo! wub.gif

This has remained at the top of my Christmas playlist a year later *.*

Posted by: Slade 24th December 2021, 06:11 PM

Ari has three Christmas songs in the U.K. chart this week as this has snuck back in at #100 laugh.gif *.*

Posted by: Jade 26th December 2021, 02:18 PM

Achieves a new peak on U.K. Spotify a year after release *.*

(thanks to Dan in the U.K. Chart forum for posting! still absolutely loving this)

Posted by: Jade 31st December 2021, 05:59 PM

Finishes the year with a climb to #95. It's a shame it never went top 40 a la 'Santa, Can't You Hear Me' but I'll take what I can get tongue.gif

Posted by: Slade 18th December 2022, 08:29 PM

This is #43 in the mids ohmy.gif
