Who is this woman?

Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc on 01 Nov 06:23 next collapse

Nobody know. She just appear one month and disappear for the rest of the year. Though someone suggest she’s actually Christmas Spirit, and Santa Claus is the one seal her in ice every year.

I wish it was just a month

The boogeyman of american retail

AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world on 01 Nov 11:39 next collapse

We, who live in the distant lands, have luckily never been exposed to her spells.

She must make a killing on the residuals from that one song

It’s a good song but it’s so overplayed that I don’t enjoy it anymore.

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world on 01 Nov 14:45 collapse

According to a quick search, she makes $2.5 million to $3 million per year in residuals off of that one song.

Good for her, and also damn I’m jealous.

She makes what an average person makes in their life each year on that.

More serious answer: it’s Mariah Carey in the music video for “All I want for Christmas is you”, youtu.be/aAkMkVFwAoo

Thanks. Now that I hear it, I am familiar with the song, but had never watched the music video.

jol@discuss.tchncs.de on 01 Nov 17:32 collapse

I think Maryhanna Grande?

Delphia@lemmy.world on 01 Nov 06:44 next collapse

I see more reposted memes about the song than times I hear it.

If people shut the fuck about it, Nobody would care.

Yeah thats kind of the whole point of social media. You post, people comment.

wise_pancake@lemmy.ca on 01 Nov 13:04 collapse

Which is quite different than a social medium, where you die and they still try talking to you.

She can fuck off until December.

Her and George Michael.

I used to work at a major outdoors retailer. The music on blast wasn’t too bad most of the year because they actually had like a 12-hour playlist, so nothing repeated.

Then Christmas arrived. There were still no repeat tracks throughout the day. But the thing about Christmas songs is that there’s only like 10 songs that have each been recorded by like 15 different artists, so while the individual recordings didn’t repeat, we’d still hear the same song 8 times a shift.

IT’S LOVELY WEATHER FOR A SLEIGH RIDE TOGETHER WITH YOUUUUUUU

Seriously, nothing wrong with the old carols, but people need to write new ones or something. blef.

jol@discuss.tchncs.de on 01 Nov 17:27 collapse

And people did. There’s tons of new Christmas songs written every year. But they a) don’t catch on, b) are not in the public domain obviously.

rustydomino@lemmy.world on 01 Nov 14:44 collapse

Americans are fucking amateurs. In Japan (they also have stores in Hawaii and Guam) there is a retailer called Don Quixote (it’s like upscale Japanese Target). They play one song and ONE SONG ONLY on repeat during all business hours. 365 days a year.
