      True, but in the US, the song has been overplayed so much that people tend to hate it more than much worse songs.

      Same thing happened to Wham’s Last Christmas (which was a worse song to begin with) in Scandinavia, Germany, and probably elsewhere too.

    Do you think the Christmas gods would relent this year if we just offered up a small fortune to Mariah?

      She already gets a gigantic one every year, owing to her being one of the few popular musicians who actually own the rights to their music (the vast majority of popular music being owned by just 3 conglomerates), but still she keeps going.

      She even calls the excruciatingly extended Christmas period “Mariah SZN” 🤮🤬

    As a retail employee, I’m so tired of the standard Muzak that Christmas music would be a blessing tbh.
