Is there a similar trend expected for the other big Xmas songs, like Brenda and Wham?

Not even close to this because Mariah's chart points are significantly higher. 

[DemDam92]

Very soon:

 

Her 3rd song of the decade 

 

Most certified song of all times 

 

Most weeks at #1

 

Merry Xmas album going Diamond and further more 

 

THE BIGGEST SONG OF ALL TIME. 

[Night Howler]

Iconic, but at the same time this will probably override the rest of her musical legacy in the long term (not right now, she still has her classics, but in like 30 years she'll be pretty much just remembered for her xmas song, like Brenda today).

But unlike Brenda, she is of the Vocal Trinity which makes her stand out on all time singer lists…

 

and already had TWO Songs of the Decade to signal her extensive career across both the 1990s and 2000s which makes her stand out on all time songwriter and producer lists. 

I think she's good 

[CottageHore]

Not a single other has ever or will ever achieve what Mariah has achieved. Truly a once in humanity smash this classic is!
 

(Yet I haven't listened to this once this season cuz it's so overplayed. But the So So Def remix has had a few spins)?

And that won't erase her enormous, documented impact on popular music from merging R&B, hip hop, and pop to implementing complex melisma into pop music to popularizing collabs, to redefining remixes to her songwriting to her whistle register etc. etc. Not to mention her enormous career sales and countless records – all things other acts don't have.

 

Having the biggest female song of all–time is the cherry on top.

The DIVA!

It will the biggest song ever at some point. The fact it doesn't sound dated helps a lot.

Mariah will never have to worry about her non-Christmas legacy being washed out. She was the defining music artist of arguably the greatest music decade ever. She comfortably resides on the all-time Mount Rushmore of female Pop musicians (alongside Madonna/Whitney/Janet). Admittedly the Christmas thing is starting to define her in the eyes of younger generations, but those generations will eventually grow up and discover the likes of Daydream/Butterfly/Emancipation etc.

AIWFCIY is a much better song than Uptown Funk. Talentry won.
