Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka Split After 7 Years Together

December 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It appears that after seven years, Mariah Carey will be wanting someone new for Christmas next year. On Tuesday, Carey’s longtime boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka, confirmed that the two had split on his Instagram.

The 40-year-old Tanaka shared the following statement:

Dear friends and fans,

With mixed emotions, I share this personal update regarding my amicable separation from Mariah Carey after seven extraordinary years together. Our decision to embark on different paths is mutual, and as we navigate these separate journeys, we do so with profound respect and an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the invaluable time we’ve shared. The memories we’ve created and the artistic collaborations are etched in my heart forever.

Mariah’s dedication to her family and her commitment to her craft have inspired us during our shared journey. I want to express my love and appreciation for Mariah and her incredible children, whose warmth and kindness have enriched my life in ways words cannot capture.

During this sensitive time, I kindly ask for your understanding, privacy and respect. The outpouring of love and support from fans has been a beacon of strength, and I am extremely grateful for the encouragement that continues to uplift me. I eagerly anticipate continuing my journey, knowing my passion for inspiration, dance, and the creative arts will resonate in the unfolding chapters.

With #MuchLove and gratitude,

Bryan Tanaka

Fans had noticed that Tanaka had not been present for the majority of Carey’s holiday tour, nor had he joined her and her children in Aspen for Christmas. Carey and Tanaka, a former backup dancer turned choreographer, met professionally in 2006, but did not start dating until 2016 and began dating following Carey’s breakup with former fiancé James Packer. The two reportedly dated on and off for about seven years before announcing their split on Tuesday.

As of Tuesday afternoon, Carey has not made any public comments regarding the breakup.

December 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Music legend Mariah Carey has several No. 1 hits to her credit — 19, to be exact. But one song of hers has proven to stand the test of time. Each year, Carey’s 1994 classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You” surges in popularity around the holiday season. The song has proven to be a holiday standard over the 29 years since its original release, and each year, the song seems to break more and more records. This Christmas Eve, the song accomplished yet another milestone.

According to TMZ, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” was reportedly streamed 23,701,697 times this Christmas Eve. This remarkable feat apparently breaks the record for most Spotify streams in a single day on Christmas Eve.

Last year, Carey broke the record on Christmas Eve when the song was streamed 21,273,357 times.

Additionally, the song reached No. 1 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, marking the song’s 14th non-consecutive week at the top of the chart.

While this holiday season is wrapping up, Carey took to Instagram to express her gratitude, and teased more looks to come throughout the week.

“Even though it is December 26, Christmas never ends for me (ha ha!),” she said in the post’s caption, “and I will keep sharing some of our festive moments from the past week with you!”

Brenda Lee Had Her Turn, But Now Mariah Carey’s Christmas Favorite Is Back To No. 1 On The Hot 100 Chart

December 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Every Monday, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated December 23, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Dean Martin — “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!”

The holiday music takeover is nearly complete as this Dean Martin classic rounds out this week’s top 10.

9. Tate McRae — “Greedy”

McRae’s hit is one of just two non-holiday songs remaining on the new Hot 100. This follows her appearance on The Tonight Show last week.

8. The Ronettes — “Sleigh Ride”

This is the first time in the top 10 this holiday season for The Ronettes as “Sleigh Ride” bounds from No. 14 last week to No. 8 now.

7. Andy Williams — “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year”

Williams had a modest ascent this week, up from No. 8 to No. 7, with his 1963 Christmas hit.

6. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

Once again, Harlow interrupts the holiday party as “Lovin On Me” remains in the top 10 despite the holly jolly season. Speaking of…

5. Burl Ives — “A Holly Jolly Christmas”

“A Holly Jolly Christmas” rose to No. 5 this week, so it’s now just one spot away from its all-time high at No. 4.

4. Wham! — “Last Christmas”

“Last Christmas,” meanwhile, holds steady at No. 4, a spot that represents its Hot 100 peak.

3. Bobby Helms — “Jingle Bell Rock”

Bobby Helms’ tune is also at its all-time high at No. 3, as there are two massive Christmas classics that keep getting in its way.

2. Brenda Lee — “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”

This has been a historic holiday season for Brenda Lee, who managed to hold off Mariah Carey’s timeless hit from reaching No. 1 for two chart-topping weeks. The tides have turned now, though.

1. Mariah Carey — “All I Want For Christmas Is You”

After Lee’s temporary roadblock, Carey is back at No. 1 for a fifth consecutive holiday season, although this means the two have combined for a joint record: This is the first time two holiday songs have been No. 1 in a single holiday season. This is the 13th total week at No. 1 for “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

Time Continues To Be Irrelevant As Brenda Lee’s 1958 Christmas Hit Is No. 1 On The Hot 100 Chart For A Second Week

December 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Every Monday, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated December 16, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Doja Cat — “Paint The Town Red”

The Hot 100 is certainly painted red (and green) this week, thanks to the holiday songs coming up next on this list. Doja’s hit is among the few non-holiday tunes hanging around this week’s top 10, though.

9. SZA — “Snooze”

One of the others is SZA’s “Snooze.” This week actually marks a full year on the Hot 100 for SZA’s SOS single.

8. Andy Williams — “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year”

Williams’ Christmas classic has helped him make some history: As Billboard notes, “The late singer now sports a record span of 64 years, two months, and one week from his first week in the top 10 with ‘Lonely Street’ in October 1959 through his latest frame.”

7. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

Even through the holiday rush, Swift is unstoppable, as she remains in the top 10 with a song that was originally released in 2019 but has become a gigantic hit here in 2023.

6. Burl Ives — “A Holly Jolly Christmas”

Ives is one of the holiday regulars, as “A Holly Jolly Christmas” routinely returns to the charts. Its previous peak was at No. 4, so let’s see if it’s able to top that this year.

5. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

In terms of non-holiday songs, Harlow is No. 1 this week with “Lovin On Me,” which previously became the rapper’s third No. 1 single (Christmas classic or otherwise).

4. Wham! — “Last Christmas”

“Last Christmas” has so far peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100 and the enduring 1984 favorite finds itself back at that personal-best summit this week.

3. Bobby Helms — “Jingle Bell Rock”

The same is true for Helms in terms of re-achieving its previous peak. It’s also the oldest song of the holiday bunch, as it was originally released in 1957.

2. Mariah Carey — “All I Want For Christmas Is You”

Carey has gotten used to having the No. 1 Christmas song of the past few years, but so far during this holiday season, she hasn’t been able to reclaim the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100.

1. Brenda Lee — “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”

“Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” went No. 1 for the first time ever last week, and the 1958 hit holds onto that spot this week, too, for a second total week at No. 1. There seem to be no hard feelings between Carey and Lee, by the way: After Lee topped the chart last week, Carey sent her some flowers with a congratulatory note.

Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande & Jennifer Hudson Surprised Fans With A Performance Of ‘Oh Santa!’ During The Singer’s Holiday Tour

December 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” may be No. 1 song in America, but Mariah Carey is still the Queen of Christmas. With just a few weeks before Carey’s holiday, Carey has to pack as much holiday cheer into her live shows as possible. On Saturday, December 9, she took her Merry Christmas One And All Tour to Madison Square Garden in New York City.

So far, the setlist for the tour is filled with fans’ favorite holiday tracks, including Carey’s record-setting song “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” However, yesterday’s show offered a little surprise. As Carey prepared to sing “Oh Santa!” she was joined onstage by EGOT holder Jennifer Hudson and Ariana Grande. The powerhouse trio spiced things up, delivering the remix version of a song initially released in 2020.

Following the performance, Carey took to Instagram to thank her collaborators for making a cheerful cameo during the show, writing, “Grateful to have the gorgeous and talented Christmas angels Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson join me on stage tonight at Madison Square Garden for our song ‘Oh Santa! (Remix)’ .”

The No. 1 Single In The Country Right Now Is A Christmas Song From 1958

December 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Every Monday, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated December 9, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Andy Williams — “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year”

A couple Christmas songs made it onto last week’s Hot 100, but now that Thanksgiving is behind us, they’re out in force. Six of this week’s top 10 songs are vintage holiday tunes, including this Andy Williams classic from 1963.

9. SZA — “Snooze”

After peaking at No. 2 previously, “Snooze” is just barely hanging around the top 10, but it’s still No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart for an 18th week.

8. Doja Cat — “Paint The Town Red”

While Doja’s hit fell down from No. 3 last week, it’s No. 1 on the latest Radio Songs chart for the first time this week.

7. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

We’re heading into winter and a summer song is still sticking around, although it’s down significantly from last week’s rank at No. 2.

6. Burl Ives — “A Holly Jolly Christmas”

The ’50s and ’60s appear to be the golden age for Christmas music, as this 1964 Burl Ives tune is routinely an end-of-year favorite and rose from No. 16 to enter the top 10 this week.

5. Wham! — “Last Christmas”

Some newer (not “new,” but “newer”) holiday tunes have some gas this week, too, as Wham’s 1984 classic “Last Christmas” is in the middle of the pack of this week’s top 10.

4. Bobby Helms — “Jingle Bell Rock”

Presenting the oldest song in this week’s top 10: Helms’ recording of “Jingle Bell Rock” was originally released all the way back in 1957.

3. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

“Lovin On Me” became Harlow’s third No. 1 single last week, but it couldn’t hold off two titanic holiday tracks as it slides down to No. 3.

2. Mariah Carey — “All I Want For Christmas Is You”

Carey’s iconic Christmas tune is usually the one leading the post-Thanksgiving charge, but there’s a new sheriff in town this week.

1. Brenda Lee — “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”

When Brenda Lee released “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” in November 1958, she probably never imagined that it would be the No. 1 song in the country a whopping 65 years later. Now, though, a song that’s nearly as old as the Hot 100 chart itself (the chart launched in August 1958) has gone No. 1 here in 2023.

The song was previously a regular “All I Want For Christmas Is You” sidekick in the holiday music resurgence: It spent nine weeks at No. 2 on the Hot 100 between December 2019 and the 2022-2023 holiday season. In fact, now that the track has risen to No. 1, it has tied the record for most weeks at No. 2 before ascending to No. 1, a record it shares with Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy.” (Also like Eilish, Lee started her music career as a child star: She recorded “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” when she was only 13 years old.)

“Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” is now just the third holiday song to ever go No. 1, after Carey’s hit and “The Chipmunk Song” by The Chipmunks with David Seville. The song is also Lee’s third career chart-topper, following “I’m Sorry” and “I Want To Be Wanted,” both in 1960. Furthermore, at 78 years old, Lee is now the senior-most artist with a No. 1 single of all time, beating the record previously held by Louis Armstrong, who was 62 when “Hello, Dolly!” topped the chart in 1964.

A Christmas Song Is Already No. 1 (But Not Mariah Carey’s) On Spotify’s Latest Weekly Top Songs Chart

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Streaming services have become the way the majority of fans consume the music they love these days, and Spotify is the clear leader in the streaming space. That makes their tracking data significant, and fortunately, the company maintains the terrific Spotify Charts website. Their Weekly Top Songs charts can serve as a useful complement to the Billboard Hot 100 and offer further insight into what music is currently making music fans move.

Take a look at the the top 10 songs on the latest Weekly Top Songs USA chart (for the tracking week ending November 23) below. Check out the full top 200 list here, and if you’re curious about what the entire world is listening to, find the Weekly Top Songs Global chart here.

10. Tate McRae — “Greedy”

McRae is just barely hanging around the top 10 this week, but zooming out, “Greedy” is No. 1 on the global Spotify chart right now and has been for 11 weeks.

9. Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves — “I Remember Everything”

Bryan and Musgraves’ hit had a significant fall this week from last week, when it was all the way up at No. 2. The reason behind the descent will become clear shortly.

8. Noah Kahan — “Stick Season”

It’s a good time for Kahan to have a song racking up plays, as he’s the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend.

7. Andy Williams — “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year”

Pretty much the instant Thanksgiving was over, the music listening public clearly turned its attention to holiday music, as Andy Williams’ timeless classic is one of a handful of Christmas tunes in this week’s top 10.

6. Wham! — “Last Christmas – Single Version”

Here’s another! There’s a select roster of holiday staples that surge up the charts annually, and “Last Christmas” has consistently been one of them.

5. Mitski — “My Love Mine All Mine”

Some tracks are still managing to break through the snow, though, like Mitski’s “My Love Mine All Mine,” which is actually the only non-holiday song in the top 10 this week to not move down in the ranks, holding steady at No. 5.

4. Bobby Helms — “Jingle Bell Rock”

“Jingle Bell Rock” is a remarkable 66 years old, and here we are, still enjoying the track like it’s 1957.

3. Mariah Carey — “All I Want For Christmas Is You”

Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas” is usually the holiday headliner, but at least on the USA Spotify chart this week, there’s a new sheriff in town.

2. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

Harlow managed to capture the No. 1 spot last week, and while he managed to outperform most of the holiday music, there was still one track able to beat him.

1. Brenda Lee — “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”

With over 12.2 million Spotify streams in the US, Brenda Lee’s 1958 favorite is on top this week. It looks like the song might even challenge “All I Want For Christmas Is You” for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, too.
