Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey‘s hit “All I Want for Christmas is You” is now the first and only holiday single to take home the RIAA‘s coveted Diamond Award (in recognition of 10 million sales and streaming units in the United States).
“The continued love for my song never ceases to amaze me and fill my heart with a multitude of emotions,” said Carey. “It blows my mind that ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ has endured different eras of the music industry. The RIAA Diamond award?! Wowww! I’m so fortunate to have the greatest fans on Earth, my Lambily, who continue to support my legacy. I love you.”
“Mariah is the Queen of Christmas,” said Richard Story, President of the Commercial Music Group at Sony Music Entertainment. “Her Sony Music family congratulates her on breaking yet another record, and continuing to make history as the first and only artist to achieve this incredible milestone.”
“Mariah Carey is one of the top Gold & Platinum awarded artists of all time, and ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ becoming the only holiday song to achieve Diamond is a remarkable milestone forever etched in music history. Congratulations and happy holidays to Mariah and her amazing Sony team,” said RIAA Chairman/CEO Mitch Glazier.
Additionally, Carey debuts her all-new holiday extravaganza Mariah’s Christmas: The Magic Continues today on Apple TV+. And on Tuesday, December 7, Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) will make two Mariah Carey films, Live at the Tokyo Dome and First Vision, available for digital purchase and rental for the first time in the United States.
