Last Christmas (107,858) by Edward from USA
"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.

Ed Sheeran (107,856) by Edward from USA
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.

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.

Merry Christmas from Croatia (107,854) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I would love the grunge-rock album too. Yes, it would be totally unexpected. Mariah is always great when she surprises with music. Merry Christmas to you.

Do we really want Mariah X Bruno though? I mean don't get me wrong, I think Bruno is very talented and they'd complement each other vocally, but Mariah literally publicly shouted out Bruno and asked for a collab and he never responded. Leaving our queen on seen.

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 (107,851) by TJ from Norway
I think she has to leave the RnB genre to get a good album, that people would buy or stream.

Merry Christmas from Croatia (107,850) by Zachariah from Croatia
Hi guys, I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and to thank you for being here and spreading the word about Mariah. It means a lot to me to just log on here and read your opinions about her and her music. I hope 2025 brings new music for us, maybe in a form like a rock-grunge album. I think it would be so unexpected and epic. I love you all.

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.

Album sales (107,847) by Edward from USA
Mariah doesn't sell albums like she used to, and that's just the natural progression of things. No artist stays at the top forever, it's a reality of the industry and of life. Just as our generation did, every generation gravitates toward new artists who speak to their current experiences and culture. Mariah music spoke to us. The same thing happened to legends like Aretha Franklin, Barbra, and even Whitney before Mariah. They were once dominant forces, but as time passed, new stars emerged, and the spotlight shifted.

Mariah's legacy is cemented though, she's one of the greatest artists of all time, with achievements that few will ever match. But today's music landscape is different. Streaming platforms have replaced physical album sales, and newer artists like Ariana Grande dominate the platforms for now. Even Ariana, as popular as she is today, likely won't hold the same position in a decade, because new artists will take center stage.

Let's not be delusional and think Mariah is the "It Girl", she isn't. It's not about fading relevance, it's just evolution. Sure, album sales aren't what they used to be, but Mariah's cultural impact and artistry always keep her in the mix. And when that time of year comes and she gives the signal, you know it's time for her to defrost and for the Christmas magic to happen.

David Foster said this in his defense as to why their voices didn't blend together.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have some peaceful days with lots of joy. I watched Mariah on deluxe music TV with "Oh Santa".

Edward, have you been binge watching Perry Mason lately? Lol. Your defense attorney skills are impressive. I have one question for you still, why do you think MC doesn't sell albums like she used to?

Why are you talking about some [censored] that broke her heart? I hope that "bee" stays in your "bonnet". The things you all talk about are ridiculous. A message shouldn't be a novel either, all you authors.

Bee in my bonnet (107,842) by Edward from USA
Luis Miguel is an exceptional singer with a powerful voice. He could definitely keep up with her back. And even now, he sounds amazing and he never lips on his concerts. The fact is, when Luis Miguel heard the final mix, he didn't like how their voices blended together. With Rainbow being such a rushed album, Mariah didn't have time to go back into the studio with him. If they'd had more time, I'm sure they could've created something great.

AIWFCIY (107,841) by Libra Lamb from USA
Setting and breaking records. She's still the it girl. Anyone would be lucky to work with her. And anyone that worked with her was instantly more popular. When people need attention, they write crap about her. Her name carries a lot and with that comes the pressure from herself to succeed and want to be perfect.

Bee in my bonnet (107,840) by Norman from USA
I truly hate to interrupt the yearly Christmas news and celebration (I can't wait for the 19th and 20th weeks to arrive so she can social distance herself from the others on the chart), but I have to get this off my chest:

After having duets with Bublé, Bieber, 98°, Joe, West Life, Khalid, Jussie, and others - no one will ever convince me that she couldn't find a song to duet with Luis Miguel because he couldn't keep up with her. It's not possible. I've wanted that duet since way before they even knew each other.

But back to Christmas. Wishing you all a happy and safe holiday season.

AIWFCIY (107,839) by Edward from USA
Robert-Anthony, if it were just up to the Lambs, AIWFCIY probably wouldn't have hit the top or become as popular as it is now. Her core fanbase isn't big enough anymore to push the song to the top on its own. The song's really got a life of its own at this point. It's the regular listeners, many of whom might not even know her back catalogue, who are the driving force behind its success. In other words, it's the general public that's made AIWFCIY such a big hit.

Unlike Brenda, Mariah's name and achievements are still a big deal in the music scene today. Her concerts, public appearances, Christmas releases, social media presence, and loyal fans all give AIWFCIY a boost on the charts too.

AIWFCIY (107,838) by Bobby A from United States
Do you think the AIWFCIY vs RATCT battle was created by Sony and Universal Music Group to set the stage for AIWFCIY's enormous record breaking success this year? I envisioned the label executives agreed in the board room to create a marketing strategy to help get RATCT to #1 for the song's 65th anniversary by hyping up the battle between the two songs. The battle has really solidified the success of AIWFCIY this holiday season. The Lambs have really come out in full force to keep AIWFCIY on top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Ugh I can't even know what to say. Remember when Cardi B and another high profile person was rumored to be on that track? I think it would have absolutely slapped if she had Ariana or Rihanna on it. Like can you imagine the bad bitch energy? And then have a video with all her bad bitch girl boss friends featured in it for replay value like Rihanna, Ariana, Kim K, Naomi, Donatella Versace (ahaha if that's not the most random group of people but imagine the potential). ANN was a huge missed opportunity. The kids would have eaten it up. It's got such fun one liners and it's catchy. The "parlez vous Francaise I sad no" bit could have been viral also "snakes on the grass it's time to cut the lawn, Ed scissorhands aka I cut you off".

We love everybody hahah but we love relevant/established artists more. Don't even get me started on how I am forced to listen to the Shawni remix because that's the version that has the whistle outros that I love. Like MC would say "Why are they torturing me?"
