In a complaint filed in New Orleans federal court, Andy Stone is seeking at least $ 20 million in damages from Carey, her co-writer and Sony Music Entertainment for copyright infringement and misappropriation, among other claims.<\/p>\n

Stone, who performs as Vince Vance with the country-pop band Vince Vance & the Valiants, accused the defendants of having illegally exploited his “popularity and unique style” and caused confusion by recording the newer song without his permission.<\/p>\n

Carey’s and Stone’s songs have different lyrics and melodies.<\/p>\n

Spokespeople for Carey and Sony Music did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Carey’s song appeared on her album “Merry Christmas,” and has long received widespread play on radio and in retail shopping environments during the holiday season.<\/p>\n

It has also topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart every year since 2019, despite having been recorded a quarter century earlier. “All I Want for Christmas Is You” was Carey’s 19th No. 1 song, one fewer than the Beatles.<\/p>\n

Stone said his own song had received “extensive airplay” during the 1993 Christmas season, and also appeared on Billboard charts.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t clear from the complaint when Stone first learned about Carey’s song.<\/p>\n

The complaint said Stone’s lawyers first contacted the defendants in April 2021 about their alleged unauthorized use, but were “unable to come to any agreement.”<\/p>\n

Stone’s lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for additional comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
