The Greatest Song in the World This Week - All I Want for Christmas - Mariah Carey
The Greatest Song In The World This Week

Some people may claim to hate music of the festive variety, but with Jesus’ Birthday mere days away, I think we should take a moment to celebrate the Achilles ’ heel of Pop that is the Christmas Song.
And what could be a more shining example of the seasonal genre that everyone loves to hate than Mariah’s ‘All I Want for Christmas’? It has bells, snow in the video, says ‘Christmas’ lots of times in the lyrics, making ‘All I Want for Christmas’ an absolute staple at this time of year.
Mariah releases this song every Christmas (corporate sell-out, schmorporate sell-out), and Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without it! Think of the track as an old, inappropriate uncle, that farts and still thinks you are at high school (even though you left university years ago), who you secretly hate, but without whom Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas.
If Mariah ever stops releasing ‘All I Want for Christmas’, I’ll become a Buddhist and move to Tibet.
