Mariah Carey’s iconic holiday hit, "All I Want For Christmas Is You," continues to reign supreme in the music industry, marking its 30th anniversary this year. The song has become a staple of the holiday season, generating impressive revenue for the artist.
According to reports, Carey earns approximately $2.5 to $3 million annually from this festive classic. Since its release in 1994, the song has accumulated around $60 million in royalties, showcasing its enduring popularity.
As of December 1, 2024, the song re-entered Billboard's Top 100, currently holding the 16th position. On that day alone, it amassed over 8.2 million streams on Spotify, contributing to a staggering total of nearly 1.93 billion streams since its debut.
Carey’s hit not only dominates the charts but also stands out as one of the most covered songs during the holiday season. Her collaboration with Justin Bieber on a duet version further solidified its status.
With its consistent annual resurgence, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has earned Carey the unofficial title of the "Queen of Christmas," rivaled only by Wham's "Last Christmas." As the holiday season approaches, it appears that 2024 will once again be a lucrative year for Carey.
