Mariah Carey ----- All I Want for Christmas is You

平安夜、聖誕節，你會聽什麼歌？經典聖誕歌 playlist 是否你的選擇？

其中一首每年大家必定聽見（甚至避無可避）的聖誕歌，肯定是 Mariah Carey 的 All I Want for Christmas is You。

《All I Want For Christmas Is You》一響起，就知道一年中最讓人期待的聖誕節到來，這首於 1994 年發行的歌曲，至今仍然傳唱度極高，受歡迎程度更是不容小覷，早已成為聖誕節代表名曲，每年都在 12 月登上歌曲排行榜榜首，令人不禁開玩笑表示 Mariah Carey 只要有這一首歌就可以退休了？關於許多人好奇究竟《All I Want For Christmas Is You》為 Mariah Carey 帶來多少版稅收入，根據多家媒體計算報導，預估每年光是版稅就達到 $250 萬至 $300 萬美元。

整理音樂串流平台 Spotify 於香港的播放數據，All I Want for Christmas is You 每年約 11 月中就會開始進入 Top 200 榜，播放次數隨著聖誕臨近而持續攀升，直至平安夜、聖誕日達至頂峰。以去年為例，這首歌於平安夜在香港就錄得 3.8 萬次播放，為全部歌曲之冠。

事實上，去年平安夜及聖誕節，Spotify 香港區頭十首熱播歌曲有四首都是經典英文聖誕歌，除了 All I Want for Christmas Is You，還有 Last Christmas、Santa Tell Me、Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree。

如果音樂播放與節日氣氛息息相關，那麼這聖誕氛圍又是何時消失的？看這些聖誕歌的播放次數跌幅就會知道 — 到了去年 12 月 28 日，All I Want for Christmas Is You 播放數已跌至 6,377 次；再過了幾天，到 1 月 1 日，這首歌已經跌出頭 200 名，要到今年 11 月中才再次入榜。

《All I Want For Christmas Is You》，於 2019 年重新拍攝 MV 後，連續四年蟬聯 Billboard Hot 100 熱門單曲排行榜第一名，根據《The Economist》計算，實際上她每年獲得約 250 萬美元的版稅，而《New York Post》所猜測的數字更高，預估每年版稅達到 $300 萬美元，這還不包括商業演出的費用以及 1994 年首次發行這首歌時獲得的 $6,000 萬美元版稅。美國 Billboard 日前估計，單是 2022 年，All I Want for Christmas Is You 就為 Mariah Carey 及其唱片公司 Sony Music 於全球帶來近 850 萬美元的版稅收入。究竟未來是否會有別的歌曲取代《All I Want For Christmas Is You》呢？

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby [repeat with ad-libs until fade]
