28 years after she released the Christmas jingle in 1994, another artist, Andy Stone, has filed a lawsuit against the five-time Grammy winner, claiming copyright infringement.
In his lawsuit, Stone claims Carey and her legal team never sought for permission to use the title and he is asking for $20 million in damages.
Stone claims to have recorded a holiday-themed song, also titled All I Want For Christmas Is You, several years before Carey dropped hers.
Carey's version went on to top the charts in 26 countries and reportedly earn a sum of $60 million in royalties by 2017.
With sales of over 16 million copies worldwide, Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You is now the best-selling holiday song by a female artist, and one of the best-selling physical singles in music history.
