Unknown to the singer, some of the songs on the album would later go on to be her most successful tracks, of which one is "All I Want for Christmas Is You."

Although Billboard disclosed that the Christmas classic has always retained its space in the spotlight, having topped the magazine's "Holiday chart and Streaming chart," it broke new boundaries by hitting the no. 1 mark of the Hot 100 for the first time.

Mariah concluded as published by Billboard:

"Even when it went to No. 9 two years ago, and then No. 3, I was like, 'This is incredible!' But I was always just so thankful for the holiday chart, so thankful. This is just, like, mind-boggling."
