She did - and didn't! For the sales week ending 25/12/10 (chart publication date 26/12/10) her album 'Loud' was at number 2 on sales of 306,108, behind 'Progress' by Take That which had sold 434,362. However a couple of days later the OCC reran the charts (Singles and Albums) after discovering a glitch in the chart compilation process. The computer had registered very little sales data for one day in the chart week and so upweighted sales to compensate for what the computer thought was incomplete data. Except there was no missing data - the date for which very little sales data (especially for albums) was received was Saturday 25 December... when the shops were shut! The rerun chart removed the estimated sales for that day and the sales figure for 'Loud' was revised to 248,934 with 'Progress' selling 350,328. Wow! Never knew about this before. Still just shy of 250k is great for number 2. |

I was 2 when All I Want... was released so only really heard it in like 2004 from YouTube. I don’t think younger people won’t hear it in the future. It’s a classic.

I think she's doing well on Amazon + she isn't on ACR yet.

What will they be listening to then? I don't see a big Christmas classic on its way up to rival it. It's 25 years old now, which is old. Why would it not continue? I remember AIWFCIY well in 1994. I bought the Merry Christmas album from Mariah that Christmas also. If I remember correctly, it wasn't that big an airplay or ubiquitous hit on the radio etc at Christmas from the late 90s to the mid 2000s. It probably would have been played as often as Leona Lewis or Kelly Clarkson's festive hits during those early years post 1994. Familiar to everyone but not the huge behemoth it has now become. I really think it was the airing of the film Love Actually on BBC or ITV around Christmas time in the late 2000s which this song featured prominently that embedded the song in the public conscious as the sole modern Christmas classic. Then of course, downloading becoming chart eligible from 2008 onwards gave it increased prominence at Christmas time. It's the streaming that made it huge then as children seem to gravitate to it similar to Frozen's Let It Go and want to play/stream it numerous times a day. My biggest grievance with modern day chart calculation is not streaming per se but defaulted playlists that involuntarily give certain songs prominence and then they become the biggest chart hits. I do think AIWFCIY has peaked this year also and an element of fatigue has set in. Future generations may move onto newer classics or simply will not embrace Christmas hits in the same way current generations do. The 70s and 80s were golden eras for Christmas hits but new Christmas hits were not existent from 1995 to 2005. I think we are just going through another festive hit boom (albeit with very few new material - just rehashing of old hits). My favourite post 2000 hit is Kelly Clarkson's Underneath The Tree.

I get the love for AIWFC and id rather LL or KC over her but when people call it the Sole christmas classic that is totally ludicrous, most popular most years yes, sole classic NO
