New holiday ringtones of Mariah's Dance Mix of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" will be available on Tuesday, November 24, 2009.

"All I Want For Christmas Is You," has been America's #1 holiday ringtone for the past three consecutive holiday seasons (2006, 2007, 2008), reaching cumulative sales of more than 1.6 million copies. The top-selling seasonal ringtone of all-time, Mariah's holiday gem became the very first seasonal Mastertone to be awarded an RIAA certification in 2006 and was awarded an RIAA platinum certification in 2007. The song has hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Recurrents chart every year from 2005 - 2008.

A perennial radio and record chart-topper each holiday season since its original release in 1994, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" was written by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff. Sasha Frere-Jones, writing in The New Yorker (April 3, 2006), heralded the song as "...one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon...."

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" was first heard as a key track on Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas album. Originally released in 1994, Merry Christmas has gone on to become one of the top-selling holiday collections of all time, selling more than 12 million copies worldwide while earning 5x platinum certification from the RIAA.
