Well we’re already for the big day and we all know that can only mean one thing… Christmas is just around the corner and it’s time to get your festive playlist ready!

Spotify Australia’s data about what we like to listen to here at this special time of year and both Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé are at the top of the tree.

The most iconic Yuletide song of the holiday season – and possibly of all time – Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You turned 29 years old and wow – is that making anyone feel old?!

Of course good old Michael Bublé did an excellent version of the song as well but we want to say thanks to Mariah because she’s the one who released it and yes – she’s the one who wrote it!

And as a special treat, here’s a video of both Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé performing this iconic Christmas track. Listen and you’ll feel like it’s Christmas eve all over again!….
