Justin Bieber Takes On Queen Of Christmas Mariah Carey With Album Of Original Holiday Tunes

Thursday, September 1st, 2011 | Justin Bieber

VMA winner Justin Bieber is a young guy, so he might not be aware that by producing an entirely original Christmas album he is stepping into an arena dominated almost exclusively by one of pop’s biggest divas, Santa’s Helper outfit enthusiast Mariah Carey.

For all intents and purposes, Mariah Carey is the unofficial Queen of Christmas. She wears Santa hats in public (and has miniature ones on her dogs), puts together holiday music spectaculars and usually celebrates the holiday with a lavish vacation in Aspen. A Google search of “Mariah Carey Christmas” returns over 45 million results and the video for her 1994 single “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has over 28 million views on YouTube.

The pop star has released two Christmas albums, 1994′s Merry Christmas and last year’s Merry Christmas II You, and while neither is wholly original (the second is principally standards with only a few original tunes), Carey owns this niche. Merry Christmas is the biggest selling Christmas album of all time, with worldwide sales exceeding 15 million copies.

And if Biebs is taking the original song route, he should be aware that Carey has set a pretty high bar. In the 17 years since its release, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has become a standard itself
