00:00At 12.01am on November 1st, Mariah Carey officially declared it Mariah's season.
00:08So how did Christmas time become synonymous with a singer?
00:11Brute can explain in less than 60 seconds.
00:13Mariah Carey has once again taken to social media to declare the start of the Christmas season.
00:18All I Want For Christmas Is You is the lead single off of Mariah Carey's 1994 holiday album,
00:24Merry Christmas.
00:25And just last night after Mariah tweeted,
00:27the song re-entered the top 100 on iTunes in the US.
00:3125 years after its initial release, the song finally claimed the number one spot in December
00:352019. And since then, it's claimed the top spot for a total of eight times.
00:39It was the first holiday single to ever be certified Diamond by RIAA and has earned
00:44Mariah an estimated $72 million over its 28-year lifetime. The singer even tried to trademark
00:51Queen of Christmas earlier this year. And while no decision has been made in that yet,
00:56it's clear that she's trusted to be the unofficial declarer of Christmas time.
