Carey’s iconic song (can you hear the jingling bells and whistle tones?), “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is RIAA diamond certified. It holds the record for being the only RIAA diamond-certified holiday song in recorded music history.
The iconic song’s 25th anniversary in 2019 saw it go straight to No. 1 on the Billboard chart and earned the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs special.
The song is in the Guinness World Record book not once, not twice, but thrice in the following categories: The highest-charting holiday (Christmas/New Year) song on the Hot 100 by a solo artist, the most streamed track on Spotify in 24 hours and the most weeks in the UK singles Top 10 chart for a Christmas song.
The newly announced shows will be the only live dates from Carey this holiday season, as reported by Live Nation – who are producing both Christmas shows. Tickets go on sale Friday (October 28) via LiveNation.com.
Fans who purchase tickets can also buy an exclusive t-shirt and Carey’s illustrated holiday fairytale, The Christmas Princess, which is scheduled to be released on November 1.
