So she could only get Babyface and Frasier for the concert special?

QUEEN!

I genuinely wonder if she ever looks back and ponders if posting messages on her website begging her fans to buy multiple copies of her new singles so she could have contrived weeks at #1 on the Hot 100, instead of say focusing on developing her live performance capabilities, was the best use of her time.

That question should go on Mariah's gravestone. With a beautifully etched copy of her Infinity album cover of course.

She just announced a 2016 UK arena tour.

I understand that's she's probably surrounded by yes people, but why would a tour promoter sink money in to this?

Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' Hits New Hot 100 High, Reaches Top 20 for First Time

More than two decades after its original release, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" continues to hit new heights. The 1994 carol rises 22-18 on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Jan. 2, 2016), scoring its best rank ever on the chart. The song had previously peaked at No. 21 peak on the Hot 100 dated Jan. 5, 2013.

"Christmas" also remains atop the Holiday 100 chart. It leads Holiday Airplay (38 million in all-format audience, up 22 percent, according to Nielsen Music) and Holiday Streaming Songs (8.3 million U.S. streams, up 10 percent), while slipping 1-2 on Holiday Digital Songs despite a 2 percent lift to 31,000 downloads sold in the week ending Dec. 17. (As previously reported, Jordan Smith, the newly-crowned champion of NBC's The Voice, debuts atop the overall Digital Songs chart, as well as Holiday Digital Songs, with "Mary Did You Know," which starts with 161,000 sold).

All charts, including the Hot 100, will refresh tomorrow (Dec. 22) on Billboard.com.

How does Carey's "Christmas" reach a new high on the Hot 100 more than 21 years after its release? Its chart history is a bit tangled (like a string of Christmas tree lights freshly taken out of storage). The chronology: the song was first released as a promotional single to radio, but not as a commercially-available single, in 1994. It ushered in Carey's first seasonal album, Merry Christmas. The song's lack of original retail availability is key, as, per rules at the time, only tracks available as singles in stores could chart on the Hot 100. (Remember, this was the pre-digital era, when the only way to purchase individual songs was via physical singles, i.e., on CD, cassette or vinyl.) "Christmas" hit No. 6 on Adult Contemporary, No. 9 on Pop Songs and No. 12 on the all-genre Radio Songs tally (with all three charts based solely on airplay) in the winter of 1994-95, but was frozen out of the Hot 100.

By December of 1998, non-commercially-available titles were allowed to appear on the Hot 100, and "Christmas" first hit the chart dated Jan. 8, 2000, spending a week at No. 83. By 2012, rules were amended so that older songs were allowed to chart on the Hot 100 if ranking in the top 50 and showing noteworthy continued gains. On Dec. 22, 2012, "Christmas" re-entered at No. 29; it rose to No. 21 two weeks later. It since hit highs of No. 26 (in winter 2013-14) and No. 35 (2014-15) before its new best rank this week.

"Christmas" has sold 3.1 million downloads (since Nielsen Music began scanning digital sales in 2003), ruling as the best-selling holiday download to date, while the Merry Christmas album has sold 5.5 million copies. The song has also spun off a new TV movie, A Christmas Melody, which premiered Saturday, Dec. 19, on Hallmark (with further airings scheduled this week). The film marks Carey's directorial debut and stars the diva, as well as Lacey Chabert.

"Thousands of original Christmas songs have been written in the last 20 years, but for whatever reason, it just became that song," Walter Afanasieff, who co-wrote "Christmas" with Carey, told Billboard in 2014. "It just keeps growing and growing. I believe it will be the most successful, popular Christmas song of all time."

The issue is earlier in the week she told her fans they were still discussing whether or not the show was going to go on, when in fact it's very likely that she already knew they were going to have to cancel.

Just popped over to Pulse (ugh) and her stans are going APESHIT over her "vocals" on the tour. This clip in particular is making the rounds. I skimmed it and I don't know about you guys but I hear a cracky, screechy mess when she's live. During the decent parts I think her fans are being a bit delusional about it being her and not a prerecorded track or her backups:

Methinks there's not going to be a whole lot of crowd shots in the concert footage:
