The Queen of Christmas’s everlasting holiday song brings in an amazing sum of money every year.
The opportunity to write a hit song like Mariah Carey and earn a lifetime fortune is all I want for Christmas.
Imagine writing a song that is so well-known and adored that your only responsibility is to perform it every December, enjoy a few weeks of the holiday limelight, and then resume your opulent lifestyle. It’s difficult not to have great dreams in such a setting.
However, for Mariah Carey, who is affectionately known as the Queen of Christmas, this is more than just a fantasy; it is her reality.
Every year, she earns an incredible amount of money from royalties thanks to her well-known holiday song.
“All I Want For Christmas Is You” debuted in 1994 as the lead single from Carey’s first-ever holiday album, Merry Christmas, and her fourth studio album.
Carey and Walter Afanasieff co-wrote and co-produced the song, which Columbia Records released.
The song’s appeal has only increased over time, despite the fact that it debuted at number six on Billboard’s Hot Adult Contemporary charts in its first week.
It consistently returns to the top of the charts throughout the holiday season, even topping Billboard’s The Hot 100 for five years in a row from 2019 to 2023.
It has firmly established itself as one of the most well-known Christmas tunes ever.
Additionally, it’s greatly increasing Carey’s financial account in addition to spreading holiday pleasure.
According to reports, the song brings in an incredible sum of money for her annually.
The Economist said in 2017 that Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ royalties bring in about $2.5 million a year.
That amount, according to Forbes, may be closer to $3 million, according to The New York Post.
For a song she wrote over thirty years ago, that’s $3 million annually. Not too bad, isn’t it?
Not to mention the apparently staggering $60 million in royalties Carey received when the song was first released.
Carey appears to be preparing for yet another extraordinarily successful holiday season as 2024 approaches.
At number 16, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has already made a comeback to the Billboard Top 100 Charts.
The song is still receiving radio airplay and streams worldwide in the meantime.
Carey’s classic hit has been played on Spotify an incredible 1,932,308,531 times, according to My Stream Count.
And just this year? The song received an astounding 8,211,035 streams on December 1.
One thing is certain, though: Carey won’t have to second-guess keeping the heat on this Christmas, whether it’s Mariah herself on repeat in her house or fans getting into the holiday mood early.
