About
"All I Want For Christmas Is You" is a popular holiday song by recording artist Mariah Carey. Upon it's release, the song quickly became a holiday standard. It is the 11th-best selling single of all time and has been widely covered.[1]
Origin
Carey released the song on November 1st, 1994 as the lead single off her first Christmas album, Merry Christmas. Upon its release, it was an immediate addition into the canon of Christmas songs. The New Yorker called it "one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon."[2] It was the most played Christmas song of the 90s in the United Kingdom, and is also a massive international success.
Spread
In the 22 years since its release, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has grown into a widely loved and universally acclaimed holiday classic. Notably, it was prominently featured on the soundtrack of the 2002 popular Christmas film Love, Actually.
The Love Actually version sparked renewed interest in the song. Since the film, it has been covered by a wide variety of artists, including My Chemical Romance (below), Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, and many others.
Rockerfeller Center Performance
On December 3rd, 2014, Carey performed the song at the annual New York City Rockerfeller Center tree-lighting ceremony.[3] There, she failed to hit several notes and was often off-key, leading to widespread criticism and causing Carey to apologize for the performance. A video of the performance which isolates the vocals spread shortly after, underscoring the poorness of Carey's performance.
