Every time we play this great song at home, in the car, at any time we have the chance or they play it in the shopping center on duty with which they inspire us to buy more at Christmas, Mariah Carey is much happier. Although, she has always said that Christmas is her favorite time and not because of the money… surely something helps.
The figures around ‘All I want for Christmas’ are more than dizzying. His video clip on YouTube has more than 730 million views and to this we must add the other Internet users who have uploaded it to the network. And on Spotify it exceeds 1,180 million listeners, come on, more than a billion.
Last year it became number one on the list of the well-known Hot 100 Chart Billboard and made history being the first song to top the chart three years in a row (2019, 2020 and 2021).
$2.5 million per year

Keep in mind that these scandal figures only include what the also actress has won in concepts of streaming and royalities. These data would not include Carey’s performances or her participation in other shows.
The truth is, From 1994 to 2019, Luis Miguel’s ex has earned more than 60 million dollars, as ‘The Economist’ made public. Nothing more and nothing less than a $2.5 million a year to date.
Carey’s versions
It seems that the artist refuses to separate from this success that ended up consolidating her musical career and this November he has even released a book that is a story where a Mariah Carey girl is the protagonist. This is just one more twist of the star since, between 2000 and 2011, it has published 5 versions of the original.
The most notorious version is the one performed with Justin Bieber. In 2011 the duet recorded their version at Macy’s, but despite the court of fans that the Canadian and the diva drag, never managed to overcome the original.
We will have to start looking for the formula of success for an upcoming Christmas hit. She has already tried it with other songs like the one she published in 2019 ‘Fall in love at Christmas’ but ‘All I want …’ remains unbeatable even for Mariah Carey herself.
