Mariah Carey - General Discussion

Not sure why but I’m about to act on this pressing urge I’ve had to listen to all her studio albums, in full, in chronological order and rate them. I’m a reasonably big fan but can’t say I know many album tracks.
 


All I Want For Christmas Is You is #1 in the UK this week.


+ Merry Christmas
Top Albums: #88 (RE)
Streaming: #69 (RE)

All I Want For Christmas Is You jumps 8-1 on consumption of 44,797 units – a 69.67% increase week-on-week – despite being on ACR. Its unadjusted consumption of 88,686 units enables it to become the seventh song to achieve consumption in excess of four million units since Kantar (Millward Brown) took over compilation of the chart in 1994. Its to-date tally of 4,003,196 units comprises 933,516 digital downloads, 171,278 CDs, 155,261 cassettes, 263 7-inch singles and 2,742,878 sales-equivalent streams.

Surely not just 263 7" inch singles in the US… the reissued cute pop up must have done better than that, and she must have sold more than that with the originals from the 90s?

I don't think it was widely released as a CD single back in the day. Probably a cute run to help the first week(s) which was then discontinued.
