I do not think they will wait to December, but they will not bring her out in full force until after Thanksgiving. Then she will be EVERYWHERE.
- Every radio station,
- every shopping center,
- every grocery store,
- parks with lit fir trees will have speakers screaming out "All I want for Christmas is you, baby (Ah, oh, ah, oh)"
You walk into Walgreens to pick up flu medicine, and pass by ornaments like these
You'd rather hear the Whos in Whoville singing "Fah-who foris, dah-who doris, welcome Christmas, bring your light. " than this!
Lucky Americans with your late thanksgiving. After the Remembrance Day on the 11th Canada goes into full Christmas mode, Mariah included.
Jfc I’m so sorry.
I’m so sorry.
Yes, that's how Canadians react as well.

I learned not to make dentist appointments in December. You're trapped there for 30-60 minutes. Fucking Christmas music. I hate it
You know damn well this shit is starting in November
damn climate change
Thanks Obama!
She has defrosted last month here already in the Philippines
I envy all of you
The real reason why we need to stop climate change.
Filipino households have been making her stronger every year. Soon she'll be thawed out before summer ends.
Fucking hell, is there no decency??
Name something more Filipino than playing Mariah Carey Christmas songs in October
Lumpiang Shanghai
This and 20 versions of Last Christmas, which isn't a fucking Christmas song it's a goddamn breakup/cheater song.
you gotta admit that whamageddon is pretty funny though
Don't forget the third in the trifecta of holiday mood souring. Christmas Shoes.
I'm pretty tolerant of Christmas music. I don't even hate the Mariah song. But "Christmas Shoes" can fuck right off.
Same here, I actually like the Maria Carey song, it's a big happy wall of sound and she's just pure vocal talent throughout the whole song, but it's entirely too overplayed.

In the 1990s, I worked at a video arcade. We had a VHS tape on a loop that we would get updated by mail once a month. It had a selection of music videos, cartoons, and other short things that no one ever paid attention to. That song was on the tape the December it came out. Because I worked a 40 hour week and we had the tape for a month and I had to hear the song once an hour, I heard it for a total of 160 times that month.
I hate that song and Mariah Carey.
Some say, in some walmarts and home depot, she roams the speakers year round.
Mariah Carey has made over $70 million from just this one song, averaging over $2 million per year since she wrote it in 1994
Also, She's sold over 200 million albums and has had 19 #1 singles, second only to the Beatles.
IMO, Emotions from '91 is a damn good album, and her best
It's pretty much the only reason she hasn't been forgotten. She really doesn't do anything anymore.
Shit I wouldn't either. She gets paid per play and every retail is mainlining it for 3 months straight.

You know why all Christmas music was written in the 50s or earlier? Cuz anything newer just feels like cash grabs and pandering.

Home Depot has had Christmas decorations out since early September. There's a war, alright, and Christmas is the aggressor. Repetitive, banal music is just one of its weapons.

Yeah I was hearing her in my local supermarket about 2 weeks ago 😫
That's climate change. Early defrosting
If we continue like this we will have Mariah Carey all year long. This is why we need to stop climate change!
I am really getting sick of Christmas shit being displayed and pushed in October. Quit ruining Halloween. Save that shit for Thanksgiving at least that closer to it.
For one I say Fuck Christmas and will not celebrate it. It all capitalism bullshit only reason they keep starting so early. Soon as fall hits they start right off with the Christmas shit because I guess Halloween doesn't have the financial draw for retail as Christmas.
Hahaha, october.... In Germany they put up the decoration in late August this year.

The Picard/Q duet version has saved the song for me: https://youtu.be/3KvWwJ6sh5s?si=YfbjaTox1K6UJsIw
Of course now I think the Carey version is just wrong. She doesn't even try to quote Shakespeare.

I don't want a lot for Christmas. I just want this song to die.
Oh she's defrosted alright. My company sent the memo to start playing the Xmas playlist starting today, for 50% of tracks. Then December up to 100%. I'm happy I'm WFH and can listen to whatever I like.
We need the holiday music draft. I'll take ALL your Mariah songs if you just take my "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" by Wings. I adore McCartney, saw him in concert. I hate this song.

Costco doesn't play any music which makes it freaking awesome during holiday times
