All I Want For Christmas Is You was the lead single from Carey's festive album Merry Christmas in 1994 and has become a staple song in the holiday period.

The song missed out on a UK number one that year when it was pipped to the post by East 17's Stay Another Day but is her best-selling single in the country because of its continued popularity.

The album has sold 14 million copies worldwide.

Carey has also enjoyed huge global success with self-penned tracks including Always Be My Baby, Hero, Fantasy, Touch My Body and We Belong Together. and has sold 220 million records worldwide.

She was recently the subject of a docu-series, Mariah's World, on E!
