The track "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has been a real success since its release in 1994 … and brings a small fortune to Mariah Carey.
Love it or hate it, listening to the song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" at Christmas is inevitable. It must be said that it plays on a loop from December 1 to 31 (I am told in the headset that some even listen to it at Easter). A real success for Mariah Carey … who could never work again in her life as this song brings her so much.

Indeed, since its release in 1994, this heady title has become a real myth. In 2020, the song even rose to No. 1 on the famous Billboard Hot 100 chart. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" was even the most streamed song in the world on spotify, the weekend of the 19th. December, with over 12 million downloads. As a result, each year she earns a small jackpot for the American artist.
According to The Economist magazine, in twenty-six years the title has earned Mariah Carey some $ 60 million. Or 55 million euros. A sum that may swell in the years to come, as the song seems timeless.
