Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" reaches #1 25 years after it is released. Why?

A. Because Sia's Christmas album hasn't caught on yet.
B. Because no one is dumb enough to release a legit album when all the retail stores only play Christmas music.
C. Because when it first came out Bill Clinton was President... no, that's not it...
D. It's a subliminal plea to have Bernie/Warren win the Presidency in 2020.
E. Because it is one of the only Christmas songs you can listen to knowing that another version by someone else isn't about to come up.

Answer: It's A. It could be D, but it really is just A.

Richard Pryor hosts "Saturday Night Live." It marks the first time SNL uses a time delay. And that just makes sense.
