Mariah Carey enlists fans for AIWFCIY compilation

As Christmas looms one week away, Mariah Carey has put together the perfect holiday gift: a fan singalong compilation of her "All I Want For Christmas Is You" classic. Splicing together clips of fans from all over the world, the two-minute video highlights just how powerful the standard has become since its 1994 release. Yes, if you weren't feeling old already, that track (from Carey's iconic Merry Christmas disc) was released 20 years ago.

The video montage was compiled using the Fusic app, with more than 1,300 fans having submitted their own lip sync take. If you haven't already, you can join in the fun. Of course, as could be expected, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" vaulted back to No. 1 on the Billboard Top Holiday Songs tally. It moved 37,000 digital copies (yes, because most music consumers should have this by now), and it is the only song to reign that chart in each season since it's inception in December 2011. It's ridden the wave at the top for 14 weeks (of 18 total possible) on that airplay/streaming/sales calendar.
