Billboard reports that Mariah Careyâs inescapable holiday classic âAll I Want For Christmas Is Youâ has reached another milestone on its slow rise to total Yuletide domination, cracking the Top 10 of the publicationâs Hot 100 chart for the first time in its 20-plus-year history. The songâso ubiquitous that people donât even bother trying to do those âavoid this holiday hitâ challenges with it, lest the entire population be eliminated the moment they come within 100 feet of a mallâfinally cracked the chart this week.
Carey reportedly still makes a hefty holiday profit from the song, which she released in 1994 on her first Christmas album, Merry Christmas. Peopleâperhaps ever so slightly over the songâs 23-year reign of cheerful musical melancholyâwho were hoping that it might finally be relenting are out of luck, obviously; this latest success is just proof that âAll I Want For Christmas Is Youâ will presumably persist long after Christmas, humanity, and âwantâ are all just obscure memories in our robot childrenâs minds.
