Mariah Carey has secured the dismissal of a defamation lawsuit filed by her brother over her memoir, while also announcing her 2026 UK Christmas tour. Meanwhile, Ella Langley's 'Choosin' Texas' has broken records on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing Mariah Carey's previous mark for the longest-running No. 1 on the chart. Carey remains a prominent figure in holiday music, though she is currently not the most-streamed artist during the season.
