Every December, Mariah Carey takes over the holiday season as her song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” climbs back up the charts. The music piece has phenomenally become as much a part of the season as lights, snow, and Santa. But this year, insiders claim that Carey is not feeling as jolly and positive as usual.
Mariah Carey is secretly worried about her hit Christmas song this year, claims source
According to The National Enquirer, Mariah Carey fears that her record-breaking holiday song might not dominate this festive season like it has in the past. For years, the track has been her biggest money-maker, landing her at the top of charts and playlists worldwide. However, with younger artists now taking over the industry, Carey reportedly fears her reign could be slipping.
A music industry insider told the outlet, “This is how she makes her money now. If the song underperforms, the whole brand wobbles.” The person explained that younger listeners are mixing their holiday playlists with fresher voices, including stars like Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, and Michael Bublé — and that change worries Carey.
Those close to the singer-songwriter claimed it is not just about the money. Mariah Carey’s identity as the “Queen of Christmas” has become part of her public image, and she works hard each year to keep that crown. A friend said, “Christmas is her Super Bowl,” suggesting Carey cannot afford to lose it.
The 56-year-old has faced several ups and downs in her career. Even so, her Christmas success has always been her safety net, with the song’s resurgence each winter boosting her fame, her income, and her connection with fans. While there is no official comment from Carey herself, the idea that her holiday song could go unnoticed behind newer songs has her circle buzzing.
But whether or not she stays at the top this year, there’s no denying her impact. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” will forever mark Mariah Carey’s legacy.
