Pop icon Mariah Carey continues to highlight the enduring success of her holiday classic, ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You,’ despite recent news of her split from Bryan Tanaka after seven years together. The couple, who began their relationship with Tanaka as one of Carey’s backup dancers, recently ended their romance, with sources citing differences over family planning as a key issue.
This Tuesday, 40-year-old Tanaka took to Instagram to formally announce the end of their relationship, praising the time they shared together. However, within hours, Carey, 54, posted on her own Instagram account, opting not to mention the breakup. Instead, she celebrated the record-breaking achievement of her famous Christmas song, which set a new record for the most plays on Spotify in a single day.
The festive tune, released in 1994, has become a seasonal staple, earning Carey significant royalties each year. Her recent Instagram post highlighted the song’s dual achievement of topping the Billboard Hot 100 and the Global 200 charts, alongside a record-breaking number of streams on Spotify.
Accompanying her celebratory post were photographs, including one of Carey in a stunning red dress beside her 12-year-old daughter Monroe, capturing the festive spirit. Despite the personal news of her breakup, Carey’s focus remains on her professional accomplishments and the joy her music brings during the holiday season.
