    Mariah Carey has made over $70 million from just this one song, averaging over $2 million per year since she wrote it in 1994

    You know why all Christmas music was written in the 50s or earlier? Cuz anything newer just feels like cash grabs and pandering.

        Surely the darkness song should be on there, that’s played loads at Christmas… and from the 00’s?

    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.

    The Picard/Q duet version has saved the song for me: https://youtu.be/3KvWwJ6sh5s?si=YfbjaTox1K6UJsIw

    Of course now I think the Carey version is just wrong. She doesn’t even "try* to quote Shakespeare.

    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.
