Mariah Carey was initially hesitant to create a Christmas album early in her career, noting, 'I felt it was too early in my career.' However, her love for Christmas inspired her to craft joyful arrangements of seasonal classics and to dream up original music, leading to the iconic 'All I Want for Christmas Is You.' Her commitment to the project transformed the holiday music landscape.
The release of her 1994 album 'Merry Christmas' was quite the milestone; it has since sold over 18 million copies and features one of the longest-charting singles, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You.' This song exemplifies a unique blend of nostalgia and original creativity, captivating audiences for decades and establishing Carey as an unwavering force in holiday music.
Carey stated that she declared the start of the Christmas season as early as November 1, saying, 'It's time.' This sentiment underscores how integrated she has become with Christmas celebrations, with her music serving as an essential backdrop to holiday festivities.
Looking ahead, Carey is also teasing a new album that would mark her first studio release in six years. This development hints at her continued evolution as an artist, even as she embraces her well-earned title as the 'Queen of Christmas.'
