Mariah Carey's Christmas Hit Faces Copyright Lawsuit Amid Predicted Record Earnings

Despite legal challenges, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' is expected to top charts again and generate over $100 million in earnings this holiday season.

Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' is facing a copyright lawsuit from country singer Andy Stone, who claims Carey and her co-writer Walter Afanasieff ripped off his group’s song of the same name.
Despite the lawsuit, Carey's song is expected to top the Billboard Hot 100 holiday chart again this year, continuing its annual success which reaps Carey some $3 million in royalties.
The song, released in 1994, has topped Billboard’s seasonal chart 92% of the time since its release.
Carey recently lost her bid to officially crown herself with the trademarked title 'Queen of Christmas'.
Experts predict that 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' will exceed $100 million in earnings this holiday season.
