This year, Carey is making a push for the top of the Hot 100. Last year it climbed all the way to a new peak of #6, becoming the highest-charting Christmas song since “ The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)” hit #1 back in 1958. Most Likely To Be Released After Christmas: Kanye West’s Jesus Is BornĮver since the advent of on-demand streaming, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has been charting higher and higher each successive holiday season. The new “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” is one of four new tracks on Legend’s deluxe reissue of last year’s A Legendary Christmas, executive produced by Raphael Saadiq. My mother will start to worry (I’LL CALL A CAR AND TELL ‘EM TO HURRY) So very nice (TIME SPENT WITH YOU IS PARADISE)

This evening has been (SO GLAD THAT YOU DROPPED IN) I’ve gotta go away (I CAN CALL YOU A RIDE.) I really can’t stay (BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE) According to a press release, the “modern and irreverent” rewrite goes a little like this: So Legend, a deeply conservative musician who also happens to be a vocal advocate for progressive causes, has rewritten the “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” lyrics with Insecure’s Natasha Rothwell and recorded the new version with Clarkson, his fellow adult-contemporary mainstay and The Voice affiliate. Although a feminist defense of the song made the rounds a couple years back, it doesn’t really translate to the #MeToo era despite its original meaning, in our modern context the song just feels rapey. In recent years the wintertime duet “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” has come under scrutiny for lyrics that seem to describe sexual harassment at best and maybe even allude to sexual assault.
