All Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is sold out shows!
It isn’t easy these days for legacy artists. Records don’t sell anymore, so all the stars are on the road.
Now Mariah Carey is revving up again for a holiday tour this November and December. She has to: Christmas is the only time Carey makes any money.
So far in 2024, she’s sold 329,000 streaming equivalent units of songs. They were almost all of her song, “All I Want for Christmas” is You.” Only 10,000 were not. If it weren’t for the Christmas song, Mariah would be out of business.
Hence, the tour to promote the song sales. It starts November 6th in Highland, California and ends December 17th in Brooklyn. Then Carey can zoom off to Aspen for Christmas, cash in hand. It costs a lot to be a diva whose hit days are way in the back mirror. Ask Diana Ross. She’s still out there doing shows at age 80.
