Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” just broke the Spotify record for most streams in a single day, set on Christmas Eve.
Carey expressed her appreciation, saying on social media: “I know people think I’m making “coin” (lil secret: artists make very little from streams) but the real reason I’m sitting here in astonishment & gratitude is seeing the joy this little song I wrote brings to people. THANK YOU & MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!”
All I Want For Christmas Is You was first featured on Carey’s Merry Christmas album, released at the end of October 1994. As of 2017, it was reported that Carey had made about $60 million from the song.
