Merry Christmas II You is the thirteenth studio album and second Christmas album by American singer Mariah Carey. The album was released on November 2, 2010 and features four original songs, all-time Christmas classics and a re-recorded version of her 1994 Christmas hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You".
Background and productionAfter the cancellation of Carey's thirteenth studio album/second remix album Angels Advocate, speculation began to shift onto an alleged Christmas album. Fashion photographer David LaChapelle told The Times on April 24, 2010 that he shot the Christmas album's artwork, thus confirming that Carey was indeed planning to release her second holiday album. It was revealed that long-time collaborators for the project include Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, Johntá Austin and Randy Jackson. Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411 said about the album, "Anyway, Mariah's Christmas album is said to be very lush, with lots of strings and no hip hop. A lot of it is said to be 'live' and there's an orchestra. So let's chew on that news, and calm down about the other. And believe me, she won't be announcing anything at Radar Online owned by the National Enquirer. That won't be happening!"It was later announced that Carey had worked with Broadway collaborator Marc Shaiman, with Carey saying that he was her favorite collaborator since her days with Walter Afanasieff. During a press conference in Seoul, South Korea, in August 2010, Island Def Jam executive Matt Voss announced that the Christmas album would be out in November 2. Several days later, the album's title was revealed. The II represents the follow-up to 1994's multi-platinum Merry Christmas album. An accompanying DVD will also be released. Three track titles have been passed around the web; Bryan-Michael Cox confirmed through ustream that a track named "Oh Santa!" had been recorded. This will serve as the album's lead single. The song premiered on AOL Music on October 1, 2010.
PromotionOn October 20, 2010 Mariah appeared on HSN for an interview about the album and she previewed six tracks from the album. On November 1, 2010, Mariah made a pre-recorded guest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about her pregnancy and album which aired on November 2, 2010. On November 2, 2010, Carey also appeared on Lopez Tonight. On 19 November Mariah recorded a performance of "Oh Santa!" for NBC Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting which was shown on November 30. Carey will make various television appearances throughout December to promote the album. She starred in ABC's Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to You special, which aired on December 13 at 9/8c. Mariah also performed at the "Christmas In Washington" special on TNT to air on 12/17. On December 25, she will be featured performing the song throughout the day on ESPN and ABC, first on ABC's Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade special, then in a music video promoting the day's NBA games on both networks.
Singles"Oh Santa!" is the lead single from the Christmas album. The song is written by Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox and Carey herself. The song premiered on AOL Music on October 1, 2010. It has been sent to radios and made available for digital downloads since October 11, 2010. For the week ending December 11, 2010, "Oh Santa!" debuted at number twelve on Billboard's Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, becoming Carey's highest debut on that chart in her 20-year career.
