She’s smiling because it’s almost time for her favorite song to start playing on the radio.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 9 hours ago

In 2001? As I remember that song didn't become a dominant Christmas song until Love Actually came out in 2003, and still took a few years before it became the single most popular Christmas song on the radio, first reaching number 1 in 2019.

As of this picture nobody (including Mariah Carey) had any idea what that song would become.

I wonder how much she makes every year on just that song

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 33 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

According to Wikipedia, it charts EVERY year during Christmas in digital sales. Probably a lot.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I believe you that for most Christmas but did it chart Last Christmas?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

Thanks for the trigger warning (not)

I find it interesting that as a European, I don't think I've ever heard that infamous song.
But then we don't really do the whole thematic Christmas song thing here.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 9 points 10 hours ago

The problem is that it's genuinely a great song, therefore over here it's played ad nauseum leading up to Christmas in every shop that plays music. And literally every chain store plays music

Do you pronounce it “an yoora-pee-unn” or “a you’re a peeing?”

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If I recall correctly, about $3 million every year since she holds rights as the performer and co-writer

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 7 points 11 hours ago

Writing is where it's at with royalties, too.
That's pretty impressive for a two month run.
