Mariah Carey has been hitting the decks for thirty years in the run-up to Christmas with her hit, All I Want For Christmas (Is You). The singer claimed at the microphone of Capital Breakfast to ignore this anniversary, despite the release of a new cover for the occasion!
Mariah Carey has refused to admit her Christmas song has reached a new record.
The 55-year-old icon is considered by many to be the official Queen of Christmas thanks to her timeless classic All I Want For Christmas (Is You).
However, the singer struggled to admit that her 1994 hit is now officially 30 years old.
“I don’t like the words ‘time’ and ‘thirty’, so I don’t know what that means,” she joked on the Capital Breakfast show, before asserting that she had rather the impression that his song had been released “30 minutes” earlier.
However, despite her reluctance on the radio, Mariah Carey seems to take full advantage of the anniversary of her festive title which she reissued this year with a new cover. The pop star shared the news in October on social media: “While it’s not time to listen to Christmas music yet… I wanted to share a sneak peek of the new cover. I wanted to give you a sneak peek of #MerryChristmas30!”
Posing in a Santa jumpsuit for one of the images, and a cream dress for the second, Mariah Carey added: “In homage to the original album cover, here is the cover art for two of the four new singles All I Want For Christmas (Is You).”
