Mariah CareyShe made the world celebrate Christmas as if it was 1994 … her classic song, “All I Want for Christmas is You”, just set a record on Spotify.
Her iconic Christmas track on Christmas Eve set the all-time record for the largest single-day stream in Spotify history with 17.223 million broadcasts, according to Chart Data which provides daily music statistics from various sources.
Needless to say … Maria was awake by the news.

Thank you. & Merry Christmas !!! ”
The song was a smash hit when she dropped it in 1994 as part of her album “Merry Christmas”. While Maria said the artists are earning very little streams, one thing is for sure … the track has brought her tons of coins since its release.
