Mariah Carey Is Christmas

25 years after we were first introduced to Mariah Carey’s now famous Christmas tune “All I Want For Christmas Is You” Amazon has announced the song will be getting it’s own mini documentary, “Mariah Carey is Christmas!”, and released a trailer.

It will tell the story of how the song came to be.  A song that was released on October 29, 1994  it was the lead single from her fourth studio album and first holiday album, Merry Christmas (1994). It is the best-selling modern day Christmas song.  With global sales of over 16 million copies, the song remains her  biggest international success and is the 12th best-selling single of all time, and the best selling Christmas single by a female artist overall. As of 2017, the song was reported to have earned $60 million in royalties.

Yep, people really like the song. A special  “Merry Christmas 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition,” was released last month, which includes the original album, plus a disc featuring previously unreleased live tracks from her 1994 St. John The Divine Benefit Concert, rare remixes, a new rendition of the “Sugar Plum Fairy” and additional seasonal tracks.  And she just released a video with previously unseen video footage.

The documentary will premiere on Amazon later this month.
