As autumn leaves begin to fall, international superstar Mariah Carey puts the finishing touches on 'Merry Christmas II You', her second career album of holiday tunes, arriving November 15th. Highlighting the long-awaited new album is a brand new recording of Mariah’s all-time standard, 'All I Want For Christmas Is You.'
In addition to traditional yuletide fare – 'The First Noel,' 'Little Drummer Boy,' 'O Little Town of Bethlehem,' 'O Come All Ye Faithful' and more – 'Merry Christmas II You' also contains four original songs composed by Mariah, including the new single, 'Oh Santa,' and many more surprises for the fans.
Since it was first released, 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' written by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff, has become one of the essential musical hallmarks of the holiday season, and continues to set sales records each year. The song hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Recurrents chart every year from 2005 to 2008. After ringtones began to be charted in 2006, 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' hit #1 for the next three consecutive holiday seasons. It became the first seasonal Mastertone to be certified RIAA gold (2006) and RIAA platinum (2007), and is ranked as the top-selling seasonal ringtone of all-time. 'All I Want For Christmas is You' was the featured single from Merry Christmas, which has sold over 12 million to date.
