Mariah’s Christmas Cash-In: “All I Want for Christmas” Returns to iTunes Chart at Number 25

All I want for Christmas is…earplugs.

Mariah Carey’s annual Christmas cash in is here. “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has returned to the iTunes top 100 at number 25.

It will go higher and stay there through the end of the year.

For god’s sake, why? Don’t all you lambs own this already? Or do you buy it anew every year? Just wait your money, go ahead. Do you not realize this is a BUSINESS? Carey does not sell records all year long. She waits for this season like Tiny Tim hoping for a slice of ham.

Walter Afansieff wrote this song with Mariah, and made it sound like a track from Phil Spector’s Christmas album. It’s now the biggest selling Christmas song of all time, outselling even Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas.”

If I never hear it again, I will be happy.
