Maybe Queen and Tears for Fears just really like state fairs?

This is a bit different from what I’m interested in. What I want to know is how much they made from just the song. If it leads to endorsements, other performances, sales of other albums, etc., then that is separate, imo.
Sorry 
Don’t be. That’ was also very interesting info! Just different.
The opposite of a one-hit wonder, but a nice look at what an iconic song can net an artist.

That’s an insane amount of cash for a shit song,
Nah, it’s a decent song - just gets played a gazillion too many times.

There is exactly one good Christmas song. Fairytale in New York. All other Christmas music is a cancer on our collective lives.

I said exactly this to my kid yesterday (virtually word for word) when Fairytale came on the radio. It’s the only legit good one.
Mariah’s is alright, but I ain’t choosing it on the jukebox.

Every hit song’s backstory is some version of, “oh, this person was just humming random lines and the song came together in 5 minutes”

I have a Twitch stream on in the background right now and the streamer is cycling elevator music-type versions of Christmas songs. One of them is Mariah Carey’s song. This version kind of slaps, tbh.

I remember Billy Joel saying “River of Dreams” came to him in a dream, which I guess makes sense.
Keeping the streak alive!
Don’t know this song or band. I’ll check it out.
Its widely considered the worst christmas song of all time
