BuzzFeed recently asked Mariah Carey to rank her own songs from favorite to least -- a task, as it turns out, that posed to be quite difficult for the Queen of Christmas.

“So you’re asking me to choose between ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ and “Fall In Love at Christmas’?” Clearly not having it, Mariah decided to “make up her own game,” which according to her is what she does, and switched out the second option for “Oh Santa!” Not that it mattered cause the obvious winner here was and always will be “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
Next, “Heartbreaker (Remix)” or “Fantasy (Remix),” for which her immediate response was, “Wow, that’s so mean, how you gonna ask me to do that?” Ultimately going with "Fantasy."
Then there was the question of “My All” versus the obvious no-questions-asked winner, “We Belong Together.”
Between “Fourth of July” and “The Roof,” she chose the latter. And despite her noting that “Touch My Body” was a bigger record, she opted for “Don’t Forget About Us,” out of the two.
With the pressure getting to her, Mariah pleaded to the off-camera peeps with her in the festively decorated room. “I don’t know, this is hard. I wrote these songs, they’re like part of me, like all represent a different moment, how can I pick them, I wrote them.”
Throwing slight shade, because would she really be Mariah if she didn’t, she continued. “These other people that like didn’t necessarily write their other song. They can pick ‘em really easy, I’m like ‘Hi, spent time on it.’”
Moving right along to perhaps the toughest one yet, Mariah was forced to choose between “Obsessed” and “Shake It Off,” which in our opinion is just cruel and unusual punishment. Ultimately though, it was “Obsessed” for the win.
