Crystal ball prediction (107,874)
by Stacey from USA
| |
|
|
I just posted about this very thing. AIWFCIY is cemented as a classic along with Nat King Cole's version of The Christmas song or Bing Crosby singing White Christmas. You can't think of Christmas without those songs. Truly amazing and just another example of MC's talent to create an original holiday song that increases in popularity 30 years after its release. Enjoy the spoils year after year.

Mariah's AIWFC goes #1 every year, the rest of the decade and every now/then beyond. Billboard honors her with a 3rd "Song of the Decade" for 2020's. She'll be the only artist in our lifetimes to have 3, OSD, WBT, and AIWFC. In addition, more artist weeks at #1 than anyone could touch for generations. How many weeks can AIWFC touch #1? A possible 18th this year. But beyond it's anyone guess. 30, 40, 50?

Last Christmas (107,873)
by Stacey from USA

Numbers truly don't lie. What an amazing stat to look at. Thanks for sharing, Edward. It's never bothered me to see MC become a one trick item. Her career accomplishments will never be duplicated. Christmas is a holiday that comes around every year. Her success is celebrated every year. To see a song become more popular then when it was released 30 years ago is truly is what's cool. My 16 year old daughter doesn't care for MC. Not her kind of music. But yet, she loves AIWFCIY, and will sing to it every year. Who else comes close to that? No one.

I had no idea they were giving "Last Christmas" a push with multiple releases this year. You'd think people might be getting tired of "AIWFCIY", but judging by its streaming numbers over the years, it's actually getting more popular every year.
"AIWFCIY" performance on Global Spotify on December 24th over the years:
2024: #1 - 24.86M
2023: #1 - 23.7M
2022: #1 - 21.27M
2021: #1 - 17.42M
2020: #1 - 17.22M
2019: #1 - 12.02M
2018: #1 - 10.81M
2017: #1 - 8.06M

100,000 million monthly Spotify listeners? That's 100 billion listeners. Exaggeration is an art.

There is no need to worry about Brenda every gaining more Spotify listeners. MC just broke another Spotify record today. MC becomes the first black female artist in history to have 100,000 million monthly Spotify listeners. I am sure Fantasy is #2 behind AIWFCIY. There has been no stopping MC during the last quarter of the year.

That might be true for Spotify US, but don't forget it's not the only metric they look at. YouTube, for example, has way more total usage with two billion users, even though it's behind Spotify and Apple in paid subscribers. Mariah's airplay and sales are much bigger than Brenda's too.

Last Christmas (107,866)
by Shezz from Pk

It's interesting to see the [Spotify] daily charts (USA) have All I Want at #4 on [Christmas] day with Brenda Lee on 1. Mariah never made it to number1 on USA [Spotify] daily charts the whole of the last week (whenever I check). I suppose Spotify isn't the most popular streaming platform in the US since she's been consistently number 1 on the BB streaming charts. Globally she reigns supreme of course with the overall [Spotify] numbers.
The [Netflix] NFL bit was cute. A little too short I thought but I suppose they just wanted to use the song as more like opening credits to their [Christmas] presentation. Crazy how versatile and representative it is. Rockin' Around and Last Christmas would have never worked.
Hope everyone celebrating had a great [Christmas].

Yes for Ed Sheeran. He's one of the few "younger" ones I really like. He has so many good, catchy songs and always radio-ftiendly. He has worked with so many other artists, why not Mariah. I prefer only Mariah for new music, but with Ed it would work out for sure.

I feel like Ed Sheeran would complement Mariah's current voice more, they would blend a lot better with her current voice, and that would open a lot of potential collabs for her, pop with a blend of R&B but with 70s vibe is what I'm thinking.

I think that's partly driven by this year being LC's 40th anniversary with various vinyl releases, documentary, etc, Columbia pulling all the stops this year. Its the same with RACTC 65th anniversary promo last year resulting to it reaching number one. And then this year Brenda is not even competitive.

Ed Sheeran (107,864)
by Bobby A from United States
| |
|
|
A Hozier and Mariah Carey collaboration in the vein of his song Take Me To Church could work as a lead single just to create buzz for a new album. The Spotify/video version could be with a full gospel choir. I believe MC will be thinking more out of the box in 2025. I say this because I believe new business deals will include stimpulations to work with more pop artists who could help bring in a return on the investment for releasing and promoting a new Mariah Carey album. The usual JD or Tricky R&B produced album will not cut it in 2025. MC has gone far too long releasing a new album to come back with a typical R&B album.

"Last Christmas" (24.55M) trailed "All I Want For Christmas Is You" (24.86M) by just over 1% in Spotify streams on Christmas Eve.
I think "Last Christmas" will eventually be a number one. Hopefully, it happens after Lil Nas X hands the torch back to Mariah, he's been holding it up high for quite a few years now.

Merry Christmas 3 (107,861)
by jaker20 from US
| |
|
|
I think Mariah is more likely to make another Christmas album than any genre. At least that's what I get from her recent interviews. She sounds passionate about it and recently said that she's planning to record another classic Christmas song. Or maybe its just her feeling the season.
Her Christmas catalog is turning out to be a monster success, maybe she wants to capture this moment. And with the current state of pop music being disposable, the timing for another Christmas album would be perfect for her. But that also means many disappoint longtime lambs. But that's where we are right now.
Merry Christmas.

In my opinion, Ed's voice would blend better with Mariah's voice. I like Bruno, his pen game and delivery, but his songs usually have a moment where he goes all out vocally, and judging by the "Yes, And? Remix" vocal fiasco, I don't think Mariah's voice is in the kind of condition to match that. Ed, on the other hand, would complement her voice perfectly.

First, I would like wish everyone a Merry Christmas today. I hope your day is filled with joy and love. Love is what we need more in this world. Second, I think Mariah and Anderson make a cute couple. Maybe Anderson is the type of man MC needs in her life. Any male who can write and sing a song like Leave The Door Open understands how to get a woman's attention. Plus, I wouldn't be suprised if Anderson is helping MC create a new sound for her next album. AP has won 5 Grammys. He is a well sought out songwriter and producer. Let's hope he is the one who can finally get MC and Bruno Mars in the studio in 2025.

Album sales (107,848)
by Bobby A from United States

MC could have one last great multi-platinum seller if she recorded three type of albums.
1. a duets soul and R&B cover album - early to late 70's and early 80's
2. a jazz album
3. a pop album produced by only 3 producers - Jack Antonoff, Jacob Collier, and Andrew Watt (top 20 producers of 2024).
I hope one day she can take home multi-Grammys like she should have done in 1996. It would be somerhing that would make her so happy.
