    Not a bad song, but playing it for 2 months straight every year is way too much.

      These things are more ads than real stats. People aren’t spending as much as they used to, so they’re spilling these baits early to create all so good “ready for shopping” feeling.

      I have an annoying neighbour. This annoying neighbour plays loud music throughout the day and sometimes the night too.

      This annoying neighbour also happens to have a wireless charging stand with a built in BT speaker. A BT speaker that requires no authentication, no pairing, no nothing. You can just connect to it.

      This annoying neighbour has been suffering from random bouts of Mariah Carey at the most inopportune times - such as 3am - at max volume. I’ve even programmed a Bluetooth controller to keep connecting to it and playing the song at random intervals if it gets paused or the volume reduced. And most recently I’ve been working on figuring out a way to detect when the neighbour plays loud music so I can finally connect the two events in a very obvious way so they finally stop.

      You think hearing it for two months is bad? Try being my annoying neighbour. Doesn’t matter if it’s July, or February, or September, if it’s morning, evening, or barely past midnight, he’s getting his Mariah fix, Careyd over the soundwaves.

        I love you

        Your neighbour probably thinks they’re being haunted by a very festive ghost

        You should set it to play an air raid siren/klaxon with a made up emergency news broadcast, like the purge.

      Yeah, my immediate thought was “Why would anyone voluntarily listen to this song?” and it had nothing to do with the quality of the song.

          Theres a lot. Its probably best to check it yourself as i only have second hand knowledge, but I know shes faced allegations of sexual misconduct multiple times, theres the stuff with eminem, theres the claim she stole “all i want for christmas” but i believe that was either dismissed or settled, its just a bunch of stuff. She doesnt seem like a genuinely shitty perosn, but from the sheer number of controversies shes not someone i would want to personally associate with or look up to.
