Mariah Carey is celebrating after it was revealed that her festive hit ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ has broken the record for the most weeks spent in the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart

In an interview with The New York Times, Mariah Carey opened up about nearly missing out on becoming the Queen of Christmas 30 years ago.

Carey, 55, earned an incredible $60 million in royalties when the song was first released, Forbes reported, and she now rakes in an estimated $2.5 million to $3 million annually for the hit, which is featured on Merry Christmas, her fourth studio album.
