Comment on It's been downhill from that day
exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 hours agoIn 2001? As I remember that song didn’t become a dominant Christmas song until Love Actually came out in 2003, and still took a few years before it became the single most popular Christmas song on the radio, first reaching number 1 in 2019.
As of this picture nobody (including Mariah Carey) had any idea what that song would become.

Not that many years ago Noddy Holder said that with royalties “Merry Xmas Everybody” he can live comfortably for the entire year. I imagine Carey gets a lot more than he does.
