How much does Mariah Carey make every Christmas from her song, All I Want for Christmas is You? In 1994, Mariah Carey was 24 years old when she released her Christmas album, Merry Christmas. This album was home to the song, All I Want for Christmas is You, and ever since that day, Mariah Carey was on a different level with her career. Her song went on to become Diamond with over 10 million album sales. Between 1994 and 2016, it is estimated that Mariah Carey made 60 million dollars from that one song. Every winter season, she has paid out an impressive 2-5 million dollars. The millions of royalties she has made from the song has lasted more than 20 years with no slowdown in sight. So how come she makes this much every year? The song has replay ability as it is only played during one season a year. What brings in the money is that the song is getting played in November. This early start allows for streams to rack in for two months. This, along with the commercial use of the song, brings in multiple outlets for this track to bring in royalties. For example, All I Want for Christmas is You is the first song to go platinum just from ringtone sales. This song is played in multiple industries which maximizes streams each year. Every year, this song rises back up on the charts like this year in 2021, returning to the number one spot. Mariah Carey cracked the formula to receive massive amounts of royalties every year and she has been riding on this success since 1994. Other outlets of revenue from the song include partnerships. Mariah Carey has partnered with multiple companies like McDonald's to appear in commercials and for the song's use. McDonald's has paid her at least 16 million dollars and that is being conservative. This is just another example of her song transcending into other industries. Whenever I hear news about this song every year, it always gets more and more surprising. I believe this long streak of being a hit every year will not slow down anytime soon. I can see the song making millions for her each year for the next 20 years. By releasing this one song, Mariah Carey has brought in over 70 million dollars.
