As Christmas music starts to creep its way on to radios across the country, Moncrieff examines the phenomenon that is ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’.
, music journalist Jeffrey Ingold explained that the track actually wasn’t that successful when it was released 30 years ago.“When ‘ All I Want For Christmas Is You ’ first came out it wasn't a hit, particularly to the standards that Mariah was used to,” he said.
Mr Ingold said he thinks this was down to “things that have happened in culture” but also “the way music habits have changed”. “Also, people started watching ‘Love Actually’ year after year became a bigger and bigger sort of cult hit in the way that ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ sort of grew in that way.
“She did a duet with Justin Bieber, she did one with Michael Buble, she's had two Christmas specials - no one has worked harder on making ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ a big song than Mariah has.”“For years there's been this sort of internet meme going around where there would be Mariah and a block of ice - people would start posting it in September or October, saying ‘she's defrosting’,” he said.
