“All I Want for Christmas Is You” is a song by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey from her fourth studio album, Merry Christmas. It was released by Columbia Records on November 1, 1994, as the lead single from the album.
On May 20, Carey used her Twitter page to reveal the title of her 12th album: Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Its first single “Obsessed” debuted at number 11 and has so far peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it her 40th career entry on that chart. Carey is the eighth woman to amass 40 Hot 100 singles; Aretha Franklin has the most, with 76. The album’s second single will be a cover of Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is”. “H.A.T.E.U.” will be the third single to be released by Carey and was revealed when she performed at a private V.I.P venue in New York on October 5. The album underperformed in the U.S. debuting at #3 with first week sales of 168,000, considerably less than her previous album E=MC2 which debuted at #1 in 2008 with sales of 463,000 her biggest first week sum ever.
“I’ll Be Lovin’ U Long Time” is a song written by Mariah Carey, DJ Toomp, Mark DeBarge, Johnson and Etterlene Jordan for Carey’s eleventh studio album, E=MC², and was the third single from the album.
I was born in Birmingham, UK in 1981. I moved to Manchester in 2002. I immediately threw myself into the large gay community that the city has to offer, with over twenty-five bars/clubs to explore I was definitely a fish out of water and looking back I realise that I was very naive. It was not long, though, before I had made a wide variety of friends from all different backgrounds.
Once learning that one of my friends, DJ Tin Tin, used to DJ at clubs such as “Heaven” in London and “Flamingo’s” in Blackpool I was very interested in finding out how music was mixed and was soon using every opportunity I had to accompany him in the DJ box.
I know that watching a DJ mix from one song to another can look very easy, and in some cases it is, but once I first got into a DJ box and witnessed a sea of buttons and switches I was completely overwhelmed. After a few weeks I started to find my feet and became very intrigued by what DJ Tin Tin was doing. I started to ask questions like, “What does that do?” and, “What happens if I press that?” Over time I felt confident enough to touch and push a few buttons knowing that for a brief moment I was at the controls and in charge of entertaining the crowd. This was a very scary feeling but also at the same time I got a funny sort of buzz out of it. It was not long until I was being allowed to do my own thing, giving me the chance to familiarise myself with the equipment.
Times change, however, and people move on. Sadly Hollywood Showbar is no longer with us and with no job I received a phone call from Cruz 101 nightclub in the heart of Manchester’s Gay Village. On my first night there I was incredibly nervous and more than little scared because the venue was over three times the size I was used to.
After 5 years at Cruz 101 I would like to think I have made my place there and I currently work Fridays and Sundays. I really enjoy my work and I have a fabulous time doing it.
