Don't forget to stream US fans (101,974) by Edward from USA Let's see about that. December 24 and 25, in which Marian broke records count towards next week. Marian still has a huge chance to remain at the top. If not, three weeks is good enough for me. (Wednesday 28 December 2022; 01:08) this is a reply to message 101,973

Don't forget to stream US fans (101,971) by Bobby A from United States We did it Lambs. MC is number #1 for another week. Is it just me? I heard and saw AIWFCIY everywhere this year from parties to department stores to school programs. Maybe people are really liking MC's it's time videos. This year's video was her best one yet.

AIWFCIY locks another week at #1 (101,972) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia This is her fifth week at No 1 for 2022. Two weeks in January and three weeks in December. (Tuesday 27 December 2022; 21:36) this is a reply to message 101,970

AIWFCIY locks another week at #1 (101,970) by Edward from USA Mariah locks her second week at #1 this year for a total of 11 weeks. Brenda was close, but with Mariah breaking the record of most streamed song ever on Spotify, Brenda didn't stand a chance. Actually, this is the 3rd week at number one for this year.

Don't forget to stream US fans (101,964) by Pedro from Brazil According to Talk of the Charts, Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" is challenging "All I Want For Christmas Is You" for the #1 spot on next week's Billboard Hot 100 based off of early projections. Brenda's lead over Mariah on Spotify is up from ~25% last week to over 30% in the first three days of this tracking week. Paired with the incoming collapse of holiday radio, Mariah is expected to lose more points via radio, making this week's race close. (Monday 26 December 2022; 23:30)

Darlene and all (101,969) by jaker20 from US I think Mariah should accept that duet offer and snatch that 20th no.1. With all the controversy, Mariah should reconcile with her around September and generate publicity for the supposed "feud" turned duet lol. Mariah's C(BPCH) version itself is getting more and more popular every year, it just needs a little push. There's a few other songs Mariah could duet with, like she did with AIWFCIY duets with so many artists over the years. Lambs might not have noticed the duet with Justin Bierber reintroduced the song in a big way to a lot of people 12 years ago, and she should do the same, maybe for either C(BPCH) or another song, because I don't think the Hey Santa duets with Ariana and JHud worked so well. I still love it though. (Tuesday 27 December 2022; 17:14)

Article: Is Mariah Carey lying about creation of hit song? (101,968) by jaker20 from US He is such a liar. Even his interviews, he can't say straight up that he wrote a single word on it. He's talking around it, oh he played this, he played that, he collabed with Mimi, yada yada. He himself said that it was Mariah who would sing "I don't want a lot for Christmas" which became the main melody. He probably just hummed "dadda dada, hmm hmm" and said he co-wrote it. That is because he can't. It is important for Mariah to tell these stories, to tell the inspiration for the song, because that is what separates her from Walter. Mariah is a story-teller, she tells stories about her youth, about her Christmas experience, and how she loves the season. And all that contributes to the genius of the song. Inspiration is very important to ownership. Walter has been talking for decades and can't come up with any, because he had none. Does he even like Christmas? Lol. You know, he is from the time when men controls how women gets credit, and we are better off forgetting people like that. (Tuesday 27 December 2022; 16:57) this is a reply to message 101,960

Article: Is Mariah Carey lying about creation of hit song? (101,960) by Betty from Canada Walter is the one lying and fabricating stories because he sold his rights to the song for a fat pay check a few yeas ago but now the song is getting bigger and bigger every year while Mariah refuses to work with him ever again. Karma. (Sunday 25 December 2022; 20:55)

O Holy Night music video (101,967) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia At the end of 2000, Mariah shot a live music video of O Holy Night at a church, the one where she wore the cute red dress. I was thinking, why is this video so random? My theory was maybe the budget and project to shoot the video was originally for Where Are You Christmas (it was the same time the song by Faith was released) and because Mariah didn't get clearance by Sony to release the song so they thought why not just shot a random video for any song from the Christmas album. I guess they picked O Holy Night because that's the only single that didn't have any official video and later they released it in Japan for the album's limited edition in 2000. Maybe the original plan was to make Where Are You Christmas as bonus track for the re-release Merry Christmas album back then. Such a waste of opportunity and a hit song by Mariah.

MC's sexiest video (101,965) by Bobby A from United States I was thinking about the male model today in My All. His name is Matt King. He is still modeling today. I would have to say that My All is MC's sexiest video that she has ever made. I may be wrong, so what do the Lambs think? (Tuesday 27 December 2022; 13:58)

Merry Christmas to All on MTV (101,956) by T from USA Does anybody know if the concert aired on MTV in any countries? I remember the press release said it would but then I heard that it was taken off the schedules. Did it in fact air on MTV? I really hope so as more exposure for MC at this time of the year will set her up nicely for her next project. (Sunday 25 December 2022; 04:37)

Miss you most at Christmas time (101,959) by Stacey from USA Merry Christmas to you too, Edward. The whole Christmas album is great.

Miss you most at Christmas time (101,953) by Edward from USA It is a great song indeed. I loved it since the first time I listened to it. It is just one of those songs that's great lyrically and musically. On top of that, Mariah's yearning makes it perfect. The three original songs on that album are simply great. I know many here don't like "Jesus Born on This Day" but I do love it. Merry Christmas Stacey. (Saturday 24 December 2022; 17:35)

Merry Christmas to All on MTV (101,958) by Lee from USA It was on MTV like two days ago. After years of snubbing her at the VMAs, I thought they were just clout chasing, and I was right. It pulled nearly 4 million viewers when it premiered on 12/20. The VMAs and RRHOF ceremony couldn't pull that off even with well-known artists.

Merry Christmas (101,957) by Bobby A from United States Merry Christmas to the MCA famiily. MC looks so happy these days. Cheers to a new album and all of those multiple projects mentioned for 2023. I truly believe MC has one more great album inside of her. (Sunday 25 December 2022; 15:09)

The cringe of it all (101,955) by Edward from USA The thing about AIWFCIY is that the lyrics are as important as the music. It is true that Mariah doesn't read or understand music like that, but it is not less true that she wrote the lyrics all by herself. I think she should've given him 30%, but that wasn't the case. I think Mariah was too generous and inexperienced, she was only 23 at the time. (Saturday 24 December 2022; 21:50) this is a reply to message 101,954

The cringe of it all (101,954) by Jamie from UK I don't think we will every truly know truth behind all this, but I'd take a Mariah and Walter collaboration any day. Oh and 1993/1994 Mariah too. That's my favourite era of hers. (Saturday 24 December 2022; 20:11)

The cringe of it all (101,947) by Norman from USA Walter A seems to be in desperate need of a spotlight on his career. Why does the man insist on being a massive tool when it comes to AIWFC? He's credited and receives half the royalties every year. Get your degree and go write another hit if you're so pressed. Geez. Laugh your way to the bank and give it a rest already. It's giving bitter, girl. And who's this Chan lady still going on about the QOC shizz? Wasn't the case thrown out or something? People will remember Mariah losing the fight for the TM before they'll ever remember her. And that's no shade to her career - she obviously has one. Maybe someday someone will know her outside of being referenced to Mariah. We love everybody. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. May you have the good fortune to spend it with your loved ones. (Saturday 24 December 2022; 07:58)

Miss you most at Christmas time (101,948) by Stacey from USA This song came on while running errands. So pretty. I have heard a fair share of AIWFCIY on the radio stations playing Christmas music. But it's been nice to hear other MC Christmas songs that are so so good (Baby Please Come Home, Santa Claus Is Comin To Town). I wish MYM would get more play. It's such a beautiful song.

Walter A. sold his rights (101,952) by T from USA He sold his share of rights and then the next year Mariah started to ramp up the promotion like never before. It even went to #1 in 2019. I think she was pleased that he wasn't going to make a dime off the success so she really went into overdrive. Before that she would be working her butt off and making him rich in the process. Just like during the concert she mentions Marc Shaiman for CTIITAA but not Walter for her biggest hit AIWFCIY. (Saturday 24 December 2022; 15:44) this is a reply to message 101,949

Walter A. sold his rights (101,949) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia For those who don't know, Walter sold his rights to a company named Hipgnosis a couple of years back. Meaning that he was paid loads of money, one off, and that's it. All other annual earnings or royalties would go to the company and Mariah. From what I've read, other singers like Justin Timberlake, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen also sold all their catalogues. I hope Mariah would hold dear all her catalogues and soon pass it down to her children. (Saturday 24 December 2022; 14:08)

The cringe of it all (101,950) by Bobby A from United States When you have the world's attention and you are shining, there is always someone who is going to try to take your shine away. Walter A. is bitter because no one is calling him to collaborate with. His sound is outdated and quite frankly boring in today's pop music world. MC made him famous and now he is always speaking negatively about MC around this time every year. Ryan Tedder took his place in the music industry. Hopefully, we will get a Ryan Tedder/MC collaboration soon. Why you mad Walter A.? (Saturday 24 December 2022; 14:52) this is a reply to message 101,947
