It’s the song many of us consider to be the jingle of Christmas, but now Mariah Carey is being sued for her classic hit

Musician Andy Stone claims he actually co-wrote and recorded a tune of the same name back in 1989.

Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ has earned the star an estimated U.S. 60 million dollars in royalties, with Andy Stone seeking 20 million in compensation.

The lawsuit has been filed in Louisiana, stating Carey and her co-writer “knowingly, wilfully, and intentionally engaged in a campaign to infringe” copyright.

All I Want For Christmas is undoubtedly one of the most successful music singles of all time.

It continues to top the charts in more than two dozen countries, with considerable airtime every Christmas.

Also featuring in the 2003 Christmas-themed romantic comedy film Love Actually, the song has sold an estimated 16 million copies worldwide.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
