Mariah carey auld lang syne the new year's anthem

You're thinking of Mariah Carey's iconic rendition of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (not "Auld Lang Syne"), which has become a modern classic and a staple of holiday playlists around the world!

Released in 1994, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" was a single from Mariah Carey's fourth studio album, "Merry Christmas". The song was written and produced by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff, and it's a festive, upbeat pop song with a catchy melody and memorable lyrics.

The song's success was immediate, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and staying there for four weeks. It also reached number one on the US Adult Contemporary chart and has been certified multi-platinum by the RIAA.

Over the years, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has become a holiday anthem, with many considering it the "new" New Year's anthem (although, technically, it's a Christmas song!). It's been covered by numerous artists, and its popularity has endured, with the song consistently topping the charts during the holiday season.

So, while "Auld Lang Syne" is a traditional New Year's Eve song, Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has become a modern holiday classic that's often played during the holiday season, including on New Year's Eve!
