MARIAH CAREY’S “ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU” HAS EARNED OVER $60 MILLION

When we think of Christmas music, we think of Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Which is, undoubtedly, one of the most successful holiday songs of all time.

According to a new report, the pop star has earned over $60 million collectively for her smash hit. Since its 1994 release, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has racked up millions each year for royalties and streaming.

Mariah Carey remade “Silent Night,” “O Holy Night,” “Joy to the World” and more for her Christmas collection, but nothing stuck like the original tune she wrote and produced alongside Walter Afanasieff. Though the timeless carol is all about love rather than frivolous gifting, the song has made her a pretty penny along the way. It’s truly the gift that keeps on giving.

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” also recently became the highest-charting holiday song on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 60 years, which resurged to the No. 6 spot.

Listen all over again and get in the Christmas spirit!

EXCISION ONCE AGAIN OPENS UP POLLS TO FANS ON WHO HE SHOULD BOOK FOR HIS 2019 FESTIVALS

It’s hard to argue that Excision isn’t one of the most engaged artists when he’s doing stuff like this. Each year, the bass king opens up a poll to fans to vote on lineups for his annual festivals. Lost Lands began in 2017 and Bass Canyon had its inaugural year in 2018, but for the first time, both festivals are out of their trial phase in 2019. And with expectations so high, why not let the fans help out a little?

Scrolling through the artist poll is like looking at a roster of pretty much every major bass act – and some curveballs – that has ever been. Everyone from legends Chase & Status, Sub Focus and Emalkay to newcomers Lord Swan3x, 1788-L, and TenGraphs is included in the poll.

With so many to choose from, and more imposingly, no limit on how many you can choose, this poll is a bass head’s wet dream.

STEVE AOKI TEAMS UP WITH POSTMATES TO DELIVER FREE FOOD TO THE HOMELESS IN LOS ANGELES

Steve Aoki has had quite the year in 2018. Not only did the cake throwing aficionado help bridge the world of EDM and Rap with his LP, Kolony, Steve also helped bring K-Pop into the dance music realm with his work alongside BTS. Now, Steve Aoki also did some interesting things outside the realm of dance music this year. Like creating a pizza franchise, Pizzaoki.

Now as random as that might be, Steve is still working to do as much good as possible. This holiday season, Steve decided to challenge Postmate’s tagline, “better than Santa”, when he tweeted out a little test. In short, he said if Postmates really was all that and more, they would help him deliver pizza to the homeless population in LA.

Postmates took up the task, and sure enough, Steve Aoki and Postmates brightened up some people’s days who were down on their luck. Isn’t this what the holiday season is all about? Check out the thread below.
