Mariah Carey (50) loves classic! In 1994 her number 1 hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You” was released, which has been played up and down during Advent since then. Even after 26 years, the Christmas anthem made it back to number one in the German charts this year and is currently one of the most popular songs of all. But what music does the singer listen to at Christmas time? Mariah now revealed what her favorite songs are.
The 50-year-old revealed in the “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” their favorites for the current season. “I love all the classics, like Bing Crosby’s ‘White Christmas’,” said Mariah. Her three favorite Christmas songs would also include Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” and Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song”. She also made a recommendation for the Christmas album of “The Jackson Five” from the 1970s on the show. It seems like it can Mariah can’t get enough of Christmas carols. She also explained: “Nobody who is with me for Christmas is allowed to hear anything other than Christmas music until New Year’s Eve.”
But leaves with their pop classic Mariah their competition hardly stands a chance. With “All I Want For Christmas” she made it into the “Guinness Book of Records” of 2020 three times. The song was not only recognized as a solo artist’s holiday song with the highest ranking in the “Billboard US Hot 100” charts, but also received more than 10.8 million views on Spotify within 24 hours in December 2018.
