23 Weeks (114,587) by Edward from USA I'm a little bitter about "Choosin' Texas" taking over AIWFCIY's 22-week record. The frustrating part is that the song closest to overtaking it is still pretty far behind in overall points, so "Choosin' Texas" could possibly rack up another two or three weeks at #1. If that happens, even if "AIWFCIY" manages to score four more weeks at #1, it would only match it or beat it by one week. And that's assuming "AIWFCIY" doesn't start deflating by then.

What if no AIWFCIY 1994 (114,586) by Bobby A from United States I just thought about what would MC's career be like if she never recorded Merry Christmas in 1994. (Thursday 24 September 2026; 20:12)

Mariah Christmas in the UK (114,585) by Philipp from Switzerland Who's going to see her? I got tickets for London and Birmingham, yay. (Thursday 24 September 2026; 20:02)

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,584) by Belinda Vasquez from USA In response to "You can't expect for her to always be super cheerful like those [censored] singers who just smile all the time, on and off stage." - If I am paying tickets with my hard earned money, it is completely acceptable for me to want to see a good performance. So yes, I do accept some degree of that. Would you spend your hard earned money on a brand new car that has scratches because it shows that the car is resilient? LMAO I don't expect somebody to have a smile on for the duration of the entire performance, but I absolutely expect some effort. Do not attempt to tell me or anybody else spending their money that we aren't allowed to have expectations. (Thursday 24 September 2026; 17:11) this is a reply to message 114,583

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,583) by Zachariah from Croatia We don't know what or how will be this year. Maybe she just needed time to heal and she will be happier this year. You can't expect for her to always be super cheerful like those [censored] singers who just smile all the time, on and off stage. We all have our stages when you love people and days when you want to run over everyone while behind the wheel. Let's focus on Glitter celebration and upcoming Christmas time.

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,578) by BFF from US I don't really mind Mariah's legacy being Christmas, but the sense of desperation and lack of joy are what really bothers me. There was such a huge shift between her performances in 2019/20 and when she started up again in 2022. She seemed genuinely energized during the Caution Tour in 2019, The Butterfly Returns residency from 2018-20, and the holiday shows during those years. It felt like she was recovering from those awful 2014-17 Stella years and getting back on track. But now she's lip syncing nearly the entire show and has this pained/detached look on her face so much of the time. She just really seems unhappy, and things appeared this way even before her mom and sister died. I would rather that she not perform at all if it makes her miserable.

Article: Mariah Carey's "All My Life" remixed By Channel Tres (114,582) by Lainsky from Philippines It's nice. Without a doubt, Mariah is the queen of remixes, not just Christmas, if I may add. Lol. However, I still prefer the OG version on the album. It should have been a single back then. (Thursday 24 September 2026; 05:58)

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,581) by Lainsky from Philippines Same sentiments here. I hate it when people recognize Mariah only during Christmas. It sucks, but oh well, I guess we just have to accept it and choose to enjoy what she's putting out there for support. At least we can still get to enjoy her entire discography. Her music and everything that goes around it is her legacy. We are her lambs, aren't we? Merry Christmas. (Thursday 24 September 2026; 05:44) this is a reply to message 114,574

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,574) by Randy from USA This Choosin Texas song ain't it. I love country music but I've heard better. It's interesting how it took a long time for songs to break the 13 week record set by Elvis. Then MC came with the 16 week record. Took awhile for Despacito to come along and tie it but now it seems like every few years we have another contender reaching the near 20 week mark. In a time of low attention spans, I don't think Billboard is calculating the most popular song in the country anymore. I'd never heard of the song until last week. I made myself listen to it. I'm not bitter about MC's record being broken. She broke others' records. I am more upset of the quality of music staying number one for 5 months. Whatever. Oh and about Christmas. I warned y'all this (MCs legacy being Christmas) would happen in 2019 and y'all said I was being dramatic. (Wednesday 23 September 2026; 13:46)

Ugh (114,580) by Lainsky from Philippines Yes, likewise. It's about time to think of something new that will do the trick or even better. (Thursday 24 September 2026; 05:39) this is a reply to message 114,569

23 Weeks / Christmas (114,579) by Bobby A from United States Lamb, Dimitri dahhling on Instagram brought up interesting point. He said that MC has been setting the bar for the longest weeks at number one for decades. Ella Langley's dominance will fade here in about 4 weeks when Morgan Wallen's new song, Last Thing I Need or Taylor's surprise single dethrones her. MC will set the bar again for 28 weeks total potentially at number one this holiday season. MC will keep setting the bar until another artist beats her record again. Ella's reign is just another heartbreak country song that just made it into a brokenhearted lover's ear and wallet. (Wednesday 23 September 2026; 23:18) this is a reply to message 114,574

Ugh (114,577) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's what I thought too. The pic doesn't give Christmas vibes. Lol. A bit too much of, well you allready said it. I liked her Halloween video last year, that was really cool and entertaining. (Wednesday 23 September 2026; 20:50) this is a reply to message 114,571

Ugh (114,571) by Stacey from USA Doesn't bother me per se. I always look forward to her "it's time" videos after Halloween. What does (caps) bother me is the "girls" making their grand entrance. Honestly, enough. Zip up a bit more. I'm tired of her trying to give away the farm. I'm not interested. (Tuesday 22 September 2026; 19:23)

Ugh (114,576) by Bill from the UK Good shout. Dutifully added. We're up to 57 now. When we hit 60 I'll reshare. (Wednesday 23 September 2026; 15:01) this is a reply to message 114,572

Ugh (114,572) by Bobby A from United States Lol. Are you going to add defrosting to your list as to why MC needs to defrost every year in order to sing? (Tuesday 22 September 2026; 23:32)

MC holiday fatigue (114,575) by nancy from Switzerland I don't go to her Christmas concerts anymore. I was in Berlin. The show was great. But now the voice is not there anymore. The songs are always the same. The gowns change. It's not worth it (at least for me) spending money for a flight, hotel, tickets. If she makes a tour to promote a new album then I will think about it and combine it with a city trip. She doesn't give her all anymore. I won't buy her new Christmas editions either. It's not passion but a rip off. Sorry. (Wednesday 23 September 2026; 14:17) this is a reply to message 114,573

MC holiday fatigue (114,573) by BFF from US It just makes me sad that Mariah has become so reliant on the holiday season for revenue to remain "relevant". The holiday concerts were fun when they started back in 2014 and probably up until 2018/19. But her approach to the holidays recently just comes across as desperation. It's painful to see her on stage lip syncing so much of the show and hardly moving with a pained, detached expression on her face. (Wednesday 23 September 2026; 01:08)

Glitter 25 roll out (114,568) by Bobby A from United States Since MC said 15 new tracks, I am beginning to think that tracks 1-7 will be fresh new remixes and tracks 8-15 will be vault tracks. (Saturday 19 September 2026; 02:54) this is a reply to message 114,567

Glitter 25 roll out (114,567) by BFF from US I like the remix of "All My Life", but I still much prefer the original version. The remix lacks the joy, effervescence, and looseness of the original. I appreciate that Mariah worked with some current artists to update some of the songs, but I hope they don't occupy too much real estate on the deluxe edition of the album. Hopefully, she also devoted some space to unreleased songs from the original "Glitter" recording sessions. We already know that "Loverboy" (Firecracker Original), "Out Here on My Own", and "Never Too Far/Hero" will be on there. And there will surely be at least one or two live performances (probably "Reflections" from Home For the Holidays, one of "NTF/Hero", and maybe even one of "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life") alongside a handful of the house mixes of "Loverboy" and "Never Too Far/Hero".

Wonderful idea (114,566) by Zachariah from Croatia If Mariah Carey goes country, I'm just hoping she brings better lyrics than the usual "beer, trucks, dirt roads, and heartbreak" vocabulary.

Wonderful idea (114,560) by Bill from the UK Eddie, you are onto something. The signs have been there for years, how did we not notice Mariah was gradually heading in this direction? I feel like such a fool. The curly brown hair to the blonde wigs. The impressive diva voice to the more simplistic and straight forward approach. The steady enlargement of her bust. As one country superstar sadly leaves us, another emerges from her cocoon. What will the album be called? Butterbean? Hay Dream? Merry Christmas y'all? We await with baited breath.
