Re: AIWFCIY #9 Hot 100 (79,954) (79,957) by 123 from USA In addition, she ties Stevie Wonder as the artist with the 5th most top 10s on the Hot 100. (Monday 18 December 2017; 21:29)

Legendary AIWFCIY finally recognized top 10 in USA (79,956) by enwar00 from usa It ends up at #9 this week on Billboard Hot 100. Personally I think it would have been another #1 in 2005 if Billboard allowed older songs to chart then as they do now, but nonethless cheers toast bravo to Mariah (and Walter A. really) for this recognition and milestone for this song. Moreso for doing so with a song that was created 23 years ago and yet proves to uplift and touch millions of people's hearts all these years later during the holidays and Christmastime. Happy day for the lambily. (Monday 18 December 2017; 20:56)

We did it (79,955) by jaker20 from US Congrats Mimi. Congrats Lambs. (Monday 18 December 2017; 20:37)

AIWFCIY #9 Hot 100 (79,954) by 123 from USA It's official. #9. This is her 28th top 10 hit in the Hot 100. She has now had a top ten in 3 separate decades. Whooo hoooo. (Monday 18 December 2017; 20:23)

AIWFCIY will be top 10 soon (79,953) by jaker20 from US It will land between 7 to 9. This will be the highest peak for a song that's been released more than 20 years. And that's just based on the song's legacy. If MC actually had a proper strategy for the song, like live TV or new viral video, I can see the song going above top 5. (Monday 18 December 2017; 19:27)

Re: All I Want For Christmas live at St John 1994 (79,950) (79,952) by Bill from the UK Why this entire concert hasn't been released is beyond me. I read that she sang every song from Merry Christmas on there. How incredible would Jesus Oh What a Wonderful Child sound? (Monday 18 December 2017; 16:33)

Re: Ponytailriah emerges again (79,944) (79,951) by Special K from USA Yassssss, but no you didn't, lol. You can tell Mariah feels as good as she looks. Girlfriend is showcasing the forehead again. Love it. (Monday 18 December 2017; 16:10)

All I Want For Christmas live at St John 1994 (79,950) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I believe that this is the perfect time to release the live performance of All I Want For Christmas at St John The Divine 1994. The live performance would definitely increase the hype of the song and hopefully it will increase streaming and download. (Monday 18 December 2017; 14:39)

Re: iTunes Christmas top 200 in your country? (79,945) (79,949) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Wow, the Glee version is still charting in your country? That's so cool, especially considering Glee ended like two years ago. Amber Riley sang the hell out of AIWFCIY, although she was almost too faithful to the original version. Still, hers is one of the better covers around. (Monday 18 December 2017; 12:10)

AIWFC goes viral in arena (79,948) by Sheila from United States Isn't it lovely that 30,000 people all singing her song at a non-Mariah event and it goes viral. 2017 is ending on a festive note. (Monday 18 December 2017; 12:09)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,936) (79,947) by B from USA Agreed. I also do not think she should record another Christmas album. All I want for Christmas is a proper studio album. (Monday 18 December 2017; 11:40)

Re: Top 10 Christmas albums ever / Santa Baby (79,946) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Totally. Santa Baby was not written for Eartha Kitt. It's definitely for Kylie. And for those who still haven't heard it, here's the most perfect naughty-yet-nice Betty Boop impression you'll ever hear on record. Best. Version. Ever. Well the Ariana Grande ft. Liz Gillies version would also be great if Liz sung the whole thing. Ariana just tried too hard to sound cutesy. Liz's voice, on the other hand, just screams sophistication - her enunciation and tone in the lower register just sound expensive - this girl should be singing more. (Monday 18 December 2017; 10:20)

iTunes Christmas top 200 in your country? (79,945) by Matty from Vancouver Canada What are Mariah's positions on your countries iTunes Christmas chart? Canada: 1. AIWFCIY (there are 4 versions on the 200 chart) 29. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) 65. Santa Clause is Comin' to Town 80. Oh Holy Night 171. Oh Santa (4 version of AIWFCIY are: MC, Fifth Harmony, Michael Buble and the cast of Glee) (Monday 18 December 2017; 01:25)

Re: Ponytailriah emerges again (79,939) (79,944) by Edward from USA That's not a ponytail, that's fully-grown horsetail. She looks great though. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 23:39)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,938) (79,943) by Matty from Vancouver Canada You know what, you're kinda right. Both MC and MC2 are absolute perfection, and it would be smart to cap the "Queen of Christmas" association. I also have no doubt that MC2 will get more and more of the global recognition is deserves as the years pass. Look at the trajectory of Merry Christmas's success. Christmas albums need time for people to create memories and associations surrounding the album before they become legendary staples of the season. As an alternative, maybe instead she could release a christmas compilation album with the following tracks: 1. The Star 2. When Christmas Comes featuring John Legend 3. AIWFCIY featuring Justin Bieber 4. Where are you Christmas (with Mariah singing it proper) 5. Auld Lang Syne (acoustic version, as a nice counter point to the '90's dance version on MC2) 6. Lil' Snowman 7. AIWFCIY with Michael Buble (live 2013) 8. Oh Santa. All I want for Christmas Is Your Mashup 9. All I want for Christmas is You (dance remix) (Sunday 17 December 2017; 23:21)

Re: Top 10 Christmas albums ever (79,935) (79,942) by Matty from Vancouver Canada this_is_qhm, totally agree with what you've said. I agree with you about Gwen's sound on the album, but the original material is weak (but again, no one creates original Christmas music like Mimi). That's why I was so impressed with Sia's new Christmas effort, which was all original tracks and she's created a cool modern christmas vibe. Also, no one can match Santa Baby like Kylie's version. That was like hand-in-glove perfection. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 23:01)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,927) (79,941) by TJ from Norway She should listen to White Christmas and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Connie Francis and try to recreate that sound. To everyone on the board: have a listen. They are so good. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 20:45)

Merry Christmas cover hair tutorial (79,940) by Warrior Butterfly from USA For decades I have wondered what Mariah's 1994 hair style was for her album cover and I stumbled upon this video. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 18:39)

Ponytailriah emerges again (79,939) by 123 from USA Speaking of ponytails, she's at it again and looks great. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 18:26)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,936) (79,938) by Bill from the UK I agree. The two albums are great already and she doesn’t need to go down the Amy Grant route of churning out a Christmas album every two years. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 14:23)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,936) (79,937) by MusicfanJ from Germany Good point Marissa. I think the same way. And there are three albums if you add the "AIWFCIY" album for the animated movie. I'm happy with MC and MC2. Both are perfect for the most wonderful time of the year. She's already the queen of Christmas so I'd prefer a new "regular" album. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 14:19)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,927) (79,936) by Marissa from USA Probably an unpopular opinion, but no. I don't think the two Christmas albums can be topped vocally (90s vocals and flawless pregnancy vocals) and she couldn't cover much because she's covered pretty much all of the notable Christmas songs already. Also, I think Mariah has to be careful with overdoing the whole "Queen of Christmas" thing. It's festive and all, but I don't want her to be seen as only being truly relevant one and a half months out of the year. I'd rather see that energy be put into a regular studio album. I'm curious to see what material she has since her whirlwind ordeal during the "nightmare era". (Sunday 17 December 2017; 10:46)

Re: Top 10 Christmas albums ever (79,920) (79,935) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I won't argue with most of the entries, especially the top 3, but Christina's holiday album borders on unlistenable to me. She sings the hell out of it, but boy did she go too far. She has always displayed her penchant for oversinging in all of her albums after her debut, but My Kind of Christmas was just overkill. It's like, "yeah, alright, we know you can sing". She makes early Mariah Carey sound tame and restrained. The only track I liked from that was Angels we have heard on high. I'd much rather have Michael Buble's at #4 than that mess. Gwen's album just made it on the list for promotion purposes, considering it's the most recent one on the list. Although there's something appealing about how her unique voice sounds against the retro production, all of the original material is just weak and just weighs the whole album down. The 60s throwback sound was a cool idea, but she should have just made an album of all covers. Her take on Last Christmas rivals Carly Rae Jepsen's version in terms of successfully infusing it with a new sound. White Christmas and Let It Snow are swinging. And while I've never heard Santa Baby suit any artist's voice as well as Kylie Minogue's, Gwen's rendition has its charms. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 08:57)

Re: 3rd Christmas album (79,927) (79,934) by Susana from USA Yes, but only after a successful regular album. So, that the songs on there would be given the chance to become classsics. I would love for her to add "Where are you Christmas". I've akeays wondered what that would sound like if she did it. (Sunday 17 December 2017; 06:05)

Re: Article: "All I Want For Christmas Is You" rises to No. 2 in the U.K. (79,928) (79,933) by Billy from England, UK I am hoping so. Ed needs to sod off lol or he could have done his duet with Mariah instead of Beyonce . (Sunday 17 December 2017; 02:13)
