With all its success, The Economist reports that the song earned $60 million in royalties between its 1994 release and 2017. This worked out to about $2.6 million per year, which is around £2.1 million. Play Based on previous figures, it means Carey still earns a whopping £5,753 a day, which is £239.70 an hour. Not bad for a song that came out 30 years ago... Commenting on the track, one fan said: "It's amazing how this song is timeless, reborn every November, and then dies after Christmas, Mariah thought of a marketing genius. "Mariah Carey has officially defrosted from her iceberg. We will now not stop hearing Christmas songs until dec 31," a second penned. "Happy to see y'all again this year, is a great season, happy holidays, IT'S TIIIIIMMEEEEEEE," wrote a third. As someone else said: "All her songs are superb. But this is by far what makes Mariah legendary. So iconic."](https://factsnewsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/resize-17-348x215.webp)
