You will still have it in your head, either for your greatest pleasure or reluctantly (and we apologize in advance). But this, the star Mariah Carey certainly doesn't really care. Because barely Halloween has passed, the 54-year-old singer is already launching the Christmas season.
On Instagram, the star unveiled this Friday, November 1, 2024 a video putting (once again) in the spotlight her global hit: “All I Want for Christmas is You”.
Halloween atmosphere, before Christmas
In a video using the codes of the famous Addams Family, Mariah Carey, wearing dark makeup and a black dress like the character of Morticia Addams, moves around a gloomy mansion, in a sinister Halloween atmosphere.
But it doesn't last long. At the stroke of midnight, signifying the transition to November 1st, a cupboard suddenly opens, revealing… a Christmas dress.
“It’s time”, then chants the singer. But what is the time? To kick off the Christmas season of course, and sing “All I Want for Christmas is You” at the top of your lungs.
A golden goose title
It must be said that the singer would be wrong to deprive herself. Every year since the release of his album Merry Christmas in 1994, Mariah Carey did it again.
And it works. The title is the best-selling song of all time. In December 2023, it had 1.5 billion streams on Spotify.
A goose that lays golden eggs which would bring in income every year for the artist, according to The Economist2.5 million dollars for the (re)broadcast of the hit. Between 1994 and 2017, Mariah Carey has already collected 60 million dollars in royalties. You probably haven't heard the last of it.
