What Song Reminds You of Your Home State?

Everyone has done it– everyone has made a road trip playlist with certain references to towns and states they may be driving through or visiting. Right? Right.

Condé Nast Traveler recently asked 50 people from all 50 states what particular song reminds them of their home state. Some were obvious– “My Old Kentucky Home;” “Take Me Home, Country Roads;” and “California Dreamin’.” But, what about those other states?

Personally, as an Arkansan, I think of some of the country music legends that got their start here (Johnny Cash, duh!) or of course, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’ “Home.”

Cheetos Super Bowl Ad Features MC Hammer and a Problem We’ve All Faced in Life

The thing about Cheetos is that they’re messy. You could never eat a Cheeto and sit down on a white couch without some serious hand-washing.

The new Cheetos ad for the Super Bowl touches on this problem with a little help from the man who “Can’t Touch This,” MC Hammer.

Guess How Much Money Mariah Carey Has Made From “All I Want For Christmas is You”

It’s not every day that a songwriter can sit down and pen a classic hit that lives on to generation after generation. Some would argue that it would be even rarer for a songwriter to pen an original Christmas classic. Haven’t we said and sang everything there is to sing and say about Christmas?

Mariah Carey didn’t think so, which is why her hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has become a holiday classic. Penned in 1994, the song has sold over 16 million copies and is the 12th best-selling single of all-time (ever). It’s also the best-selling Christmas single of all-time.

So, how much money has songwriter Carey made from the tune over the last 25 years? $60 million.

Not bad.

The song recently hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time in 25 years and is featured in an Amazon mini-documentary, “Mariah Carey is Christmas: The Story of ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’.”
