Everyone agrees that Mariah Carey?s ?All I Want For Christmas Is You? is the greatest modern Christmas song. So imagine our horror when we read on Slate that ?All I Want For Christmas Is You? has been knocked off a very important throne: Carey?s powerhouse ballad has slipped to number two in the ranking of holiday shoppers? most-heard songs. The new champion is the Shins? peppy cover of Paul McCartney?s ?Wonderful Christmastime.? An important caveat: Mimi retains her top spot on the Billboard Holiday 100 Chart, meaning that Americans are smart enough to buy her record when they want some Christmas cheer. But The Shins are now played more in our nation?s malls, shopping centers and gallerias. The Shins. Can we repeat that? THE SHINS.
