A good Christmas song has always been viewed as a nice pension with royalties rolling in once the season swings into action.
But the money Mariah Carey is still making from ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ is absolutely incredible.
According to Priceonomics, since its release in 1994 the track has accumulated $50m in royalties and is in the top 15 selling singles of all time.
You may have heard it once or twice this month…
It has actually sold 14 million units as a single since its release and the money generated is getting bigger each year.
