But in the digital era it has undergone a miraculous ascent, thanks to its age-defying bop, the power of holiday playlists, the multiplying effects of the streaming ecosystem and her fans’ ritual dedication to the song. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The song snowballed to over 309 million on-demand audio and video streams last year, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. That helped push it to No. 1 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 songs chart for the first time. It got streamed more than Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (192.9 million streams) and other latter-day standards like Wham!’s “Last Christmas” (144.9 million streams). ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @mariahcarey has built a franchise around the propulsive tune in recent years with alternate versions and videos, and a book and animated movie for kids. This year’s big Christmas play: a TV special for Apple, an accompanying soundtrack album, and a new take on a later yuletide composition of Carey’s “Oh Santa!” ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read more at the link in our bio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Photo: Apple」12月12日 0時13分
