Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas Album Returns to Top 10 on Billboard’s Charts
Mariah Carey Merry Christmas Album, the best-selling Christmas album of all time, is back on Billboard 200 Albums Charts.
According to Billboard, with 37,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending December 5th, this puts the album on No. 9 spot.
Holiday anthem “All I Want for Christmas Is You” also made its annual return to several Billboard charts. This includes this year’s Billboard Hot 100, on which it appears every year around Christmas, though this time it has appeared earlier than it ever has since 2012 – during the week ending November 14th.
The legendary vocalist’s most successful Christmas single has achieved the Guinness World Record for the highest-charting holiday song for a solo artist in history.
Her now-iconic tune is getting a documentary “Mariah Carey is Christmas.”
In a trailer for this holiday special music producer and former American Idol judge Randy Jackson, Variety music editor Shirley Halperin, Billboard charts director Gary Trust, and Carey’s backup singer Trey Lorenz comment on how her single “All I Want For Christmas is You” became a the greatest hit.
The documentary will premiere later this month on Amazon.
Currently, The Queen of Christmas music is on a tour which celebrates the 25th anniversary of her debut Christmas record, Merry Christmas.
She hit the road on November 1st when she also re-released Merry Christmas as a 2-CD deluxe anniversary edition. This was exactly 25 years to the day since the original album’s release and it features unreleased live tracks and rare remixes.
In December, Carey’s tour stops included cities like Washington D.C., Atlantic City, Uncasville, Oxon Hill and Boston. There are 5 shows left on this tour before it’s wrapped in New York. And after that Carey will be returning to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas as part of her “The Butterfly Returns” concert residency.
