Surprised people still listen to that song even after she’s been outed for her friendship with P Diddy

?

 

Firstly, their professional and personal association was plain to see in the 90s and 00s - so it’s not something that can be “outed” as if it was some kind of secret, because it wasn’t.

 

Diddy has left his musical footprint across numerous huge artists from that era, so your suggestion of a Mariah boycott would have to apply to so many artists… and what exactly would that achieve? Mariah is not responsible for Diddy’s alleged heinous actions. Being a friend and colleague of somebody is not an admission of knowledge/condoning of their behaviour. Suggesting that she should be considered guilty by association isn’t fair.

Honestly this "they were associated with Diddy" thing is a bit ridiculous. P Diddy collaborated with, wrote and remixed for etc tons and tons of artists. It doesn't suggest any of them knew anything.

For a few years multiple artists were associated with him but that should mean nothing to what's happening with him now.

 

Merry Christmas album is 81 in todays mids, nice if it makes the top 75.

It's really nice to see some thought put into the physical singles, new art work and the track listing are great . But am I the only one who can't really hear Mariah on the "christmas wrapping" track? 😅

I was kinda disappointed with the track listing for cd single reissue. Some updated remixes would have been more interesting.

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" is now officially the first song in history to spend ONE HUNDRED WEEKS in the UK top 40! :cheeseblock:

So in less than 2 years it will be over the 6 million which is something to look forward to bringing it to 10 times platinum, massive result, im sure when she released it she never in a million years thought the song would become so huge.

AIWFCIY accumulated 584,000 units in the UK this year - down 42k units from last year's accumulated 626,000 units.

Still great sales in such a short period but would have liked it to have had platinum sales for this year alone again.

All I Want for Christmas Is You spends its 18th week at #1 in the US Billboard Hot 100!

 

It's just one week behind equalling the two longest running #1s:

 

Old Town Road by Lil Nas X

A Bar Song (Tipsy) by Shaboozey

 

We'll see during Christmas 2025 if it becomes the first song in Billboard history to make it to 20 weeks! (Assuming that A Bar Song doesn't reclaim #1 or if anything new in 2025 manages 20+ weeks).

 

 

In the UK, AIWFCIY spends its 9th consecutive week in the Top 100. This is the first time it's managed to stay in the Top 100 for that long (in the Official Charts Company version of its chart run), outdoing its previous best of 8 weeks.

Sick of this flopping in UK!! At leaat the rest of the world has food taste.

Because according to them the OCC is anyi Mariah :lol:

It has been in the charts every Christmas for the past 30 years and hasn't it sold over 5 million units? I wouldn't call that a flop.

It’s just ChristmasWapping’s long running joke, he’s not really being serious (even if he replies to insist that he is being serious!). It stems from a chart week from a few years ago, when it became evident that AIWFCIY was missing some sales data from video streaming, due to a glitch - and it was questioned whether that glitch cost her #1 that week.

 

Also, it’s been in the UK chart every Christmas since 2007; chart rules wouldn’t allow an annual reappearance before then. So no official chart action from 1996 to 2006.

 

The US chart was restrictive with its chart rules for even longer - 2012 marked the first year that its annual reappearances in the Billboard Hot 100 began, having only appeared once before then - at #83 in a January 2000 dated chart (from radio impact that occurred in December 1999). It wasn’t actually issued with a physical single in the US in 1994, so due to chart rules at the time it wasn’t eligible to chart. Its brief first appearance in the 1999 Christmas season was due to a brief rule change… but for years after that it wasn’t allowed back in due to recurrency rules. Even though AIWFCIY reached #1 in their download chart in 2005, its popularity wasn’t able to be reflected in their main chart.
