As the holiday season approaches, Mariah Carey is once again dominating the music scene, celebrating the 30th anniversary of her iconic hit, "All I Want For Christmas Is You." The five-time Grammy winner kicked off her Christmas Time tour on November 6, 2024, in Highland, California, and has since performed at several venues, including her recent show in Atlanta, Georgia. With a setlist of 26 songs, her concerts typically last around 90 minutes, concluding with her legendary holiday anthem. This year, Carey’s song continues to reign as the most popular holiday track globally, further solidifying her title as the "Queen of Christmas."
Meanwhile, Adele recently concluded her successful "Weekends With Adele" residency at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, which spanned from November 2022 to November 2024. Over this period, she performed two shows each weekend, captivating audiences with her powerful vocals and emotional storytelling. In her final performance, Adele expressed her heartfelt gratitude to her fans, stating, "I don’t know when I will perform again" and reflecting on the joy her residency brought her. As she wraps up her time in Las Vegas, Adele hinted at taking a break from live performances for an extended period, leaving fans eagerly awaiting her return.
Both artists have made significant impacts on the show business landscape this year, with Carey’s holiday classic continuing to dominate music charts and Adele’s residency marking a new chapter in her career. Their achievements highlight the enduring appeal of live performances and the emotional connections artists build with their audiences.
