Empire Christmas

This is not a “Song of the Day,” because it was the featured song on December 29, 2008. But this wonderful light show atop the Empire State Building—my all-time favorite NYC skyscraper—took place on December 19, 2019, when Mariah Carey‘s 1994 holiday tune, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” finally hit #1 atop the Billboard Hot 100—the first time any Christmas song hit the apex of that chart in 61 years (following “The Chipmunk Song” by David Seville). I know, I know, you’ve heard this song a million times… but you’ll likely never see it presented like this again.
