If that is your takeaway, you are part of the problem.

Finland has a really great Christmas music scene so I'm not surprised Mariah managed just 2 weeks as opposed to Sweden's and Norway's 10 weeks. Though even the 2 weeks surprised me. Mariah global Christmas legend yup.

Piece of advice: Every time an ATRLer says a song/album is "unknown" or "bigger" outside the US, ignore the f*ck out of them.

 

9 times out of 10 the stats are absolutely not there to back that claim up and they're just saying that to hate on successful songs or cope with flop songs.

[Lightbringer007]

this is literally one of the most global songs ever what-

[Damien M]

Don't waste your time trying to convince  random online ppl that ur fav is "global".

 

a legend is a legend, who cares that they went #1 in Austria  

[By the Water]

When has an ATRLer been right about anything ever?

[Into The Void]

Well arguing with an ATRL in general is stupid. Most of them have no brain cells.

[shyboi]

the definition of global, probably even top 10 most famous songs ever

Bad. Flop. Unkown.

[Capris Groove]

Anyone who says that is just wishful thinking.

 

AIWFCIY is massive across the anglosphere and is well-known everywhere else too.

[dumbsparce]

It's not unknown by any means, but at least in Europe, it feels like Last Xmas is THE song of the season. The real I don't know ha is that other song by some old lady.

[skeeyee]

 

Ganz Ich Selbst indeed 

[Pheromosa]

It's science fiction to claim to know what people remember

also that's ******* stupid

[Gladiator]

Is it really a mystery why haters ignore facts and can't consult a Wikipedia page before making claims?

Everyone knows this song, a classic  Mariah the hitmaker you are! 

[I Melt Away]

It's the biggest Christmas song in Asia by far too

[Almighty Gaga]

Not a single person claimed this and you were just trying to find a place to copy/paste this list

[KOMH]

Nobody has ever said this. It's the best selling and highest certified international song of all time in Japan

[Princess Aurora]

Not at all. Actually when people think of Mariah Carey, the first thing that comes to their minds is that song.

[suburbannature]

An absolutely insane thing to say about the song with the most global weeks at #1 and now the song with the most global #1s 

[Roberto]

In 2018, maybe. Now, it's probably the most known song ever.

[polygon]

ATRLers stay spilling
