Mariah Carey at number 1 with "All I want for Christmas"

(by Alessandra Baldini) (ANSA) - NEW YORK, DECEMBER 17 - Christmas miracle for MariahCarey: "All I Want for Christmas is You", 25 years after debuttonel 1994, has become "number one" for the first time.
The song is also the first "number one" of the singer since 2008 in the Billboard 100 and her 19 / a, a single step from the Beatles who hold the record. Completing a 25-year journey, the co-star song of "Love Actually", the most loved and hated Christmas movie when Olivia Olson played the lateger, was originally released on the "Merry Christmas" album.
The miracle is due in part to the increasing use of technology that has changed the habits of listeners through the ubiquity of playlists for the holiday season that have decreed the entry of the song into the Christmas canon alongside iconic songs like "White Christmas".
Meanwhile, since 2014, Carey has returned on tour with a series of Christmas shows anchored on the song of the miracle counters in Las Vegas, Paris, London and Madrid. Last Sunday New York closed the tour at Madison Square Garden with an all-inclusive tour surrounded by eleven Christmas trees, gospel choir, two children, fake snow and Santa Claus. In November, in view of the 25th anniversary, Sony reissued a luxury edition of the "Merry Christmas" album, with four versions of "All IWant". The result: last week the instreaming version was heard by 45 million people, a record for the United States. (HANDLE).
