You know why all Christmas music was written in the 50s or earlier? Cuz anything newer just feels like cash grabs and pandering.
Like so many things in life, Boomers are to blame.
Surely the darkness song should be on there, that’s played loads at Christmas… and from the 00’s?
pandering
I’m confused as to what else Christmas music could be.
Home Depot has had Christmas decorations out since early September. There’s a war, alright, and Christmas is the aggressor. Repetitive, banal music is just one of its weapons.
In Canada stores put out thier merchandise the same time they put out the Halloween stuff. However, Christmas blow up displays and tree displays, instore decorations or music normally don’t get put up until after Rememberance Day (Nov 11) out of respect.
She has defrosted last month here already in the Philippines
I envy all of you
The real reason why we need to stop climate change.
Name something more Filipino than playing Mariah Carey Christmas songs in October
Lumpiang Shanghai
Fucking hell, is there no decency??
Filipino households have been making her stronger every year. Soon she’ll be thawed out before summer ends.
I don’t want a lot for Christmas. I just want this song to die.

This and 20 versions of Last Christmas, which isn’t a fucking Christmas song it’s a goddamn breakup/cheater song.

Mariah Carey has made over $70 million from just this one song, averaging over $2 million per year since she wrote it in 1994
Also, She’s sold over 200 million albums and has had 19 #1 singles, second only to the Beatles.
IMO, Emotions from '91 is a damn good album, and her best
Holy fuck I hate nothing more than christmas music.
What about snowy-season music that vaguely references christmas music but isn’t actually about christmas specifically?
Oh she’s defrosted alright. My company sent the memo to start playing the Xmas playlist starting today, for 50% of tracks. Then December up to 100%. I’m happy I’m WFH and can listen to whatever I like.
We need the holiday music draft. I’ll take ALL your Mariah songs if you just take my “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time” by Wings. I adore McCartney, saw him in concert. I hate this song.
You and I will have to fight for Mariah, but you can take Faliz Navidad.
My Christmas playlist starts with 3 copies of All I Want for Christmas is You because we listen on shuffle and all we want for Christmas is that song. (That is followed by about a dozen Glee tracks. I’ll feed on your hate now.)
Am I the only one who likes this song? I even love Last Christmas. I think it’s because I don’t go into brick and mortar stores often, so I can go a whole season and only hear it a few times. Somehow I hear Father Christmas and Christmas Wrapping way more often.
Retailers want to play Christmas music to encourage shopping, but only secular music to avoid causing offense. If you look at all the most popular Christmas songs and take out any that with religious lyrics (Silent Night, Joy to the World, Oh Come all ye Faithful, etc.) you’d be hard pressed to put together a playlist longer than an hour or two.
An employee working an eight hour shift will therefore hear the same song a minimum of four times. In my experience it’s closer to six, but we’ll be conservative here. That means Mariah Carey is telling you that you’re all she wants for Christmas at least twenty times a week. Most stores start up the Christmas music in early November, but we’re being charitable and saying the music will be playing from Thanksgiving through the week of Christmas.
The TL;DR is that your average full-time retail worker is going to hear the same few Christmas songs a bare minimum of 80-120 times during the busiest time of the year. That figure doubles in a worst case scenario where a one hour loop is played starting after Halloween. A ton of people have worked retail at some point on their lives so while you might not be the only one who likes this song you might have a hard time finding people who don’t have a knee-jerk resentment towards it.
There’s a reason this song is played a lot at Christmas: people like it. It’s just that the people who don’t like it really don’t like it, probably due to how much it gets played.
Am I the only one who likes this song?
Not the only one but it’s not a very good song. I liken it more to set dressing than an actual piece of music.

Throw that thing into the sun
What part of the sadomasochistic side are you on? Do you enjoy pain? or do you want to see people suffer?Oh I just realized that you meant it like put it in a rocket and aim it towards the sun, and not just leave it exposed to warming radiation from it.
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
All I want for Christmas is yoooouuu to shut up ah up
Some say, in some walmarts and home depot, she roams the speakers year round.
I sure hope they give employees good mental health insurance then.
They do not, this song is more used to get employees to quit.
