Merry Christmas II You
Merry Christmas II You is the second Christmas album and thirteenth studio album by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey. It was released by Island Records on November 2, 2010. Recording began in April 2010 and continued while Carey became pregnant. She was the executive producer of Merry Christmas II You and worked with various record producers, including Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri, Randy Jackson, James Poyser, Marc Shaiman, James "Big Jim" Wright and Johnny "Sev" Severin of RedOne. The album is composed of original songs and covers, ballads and uptempo tracks. It incorporates R&B, soul and house music in its composition.

I believe that this topic meets the criteria because the album, all of it's singles, and one original composition are all good articles (five of which are recently promoted). The four singles plus "One Child" are all new, original compositions by Carey. I have not included covers on the track listing, primarily because those songs have been covered by a lot of people, some of which were carols or poems, and would only contain passing mentions of Carey's renditions. Furthermore, Carey made several into two-piece medleys, and so they are technically new songs and they do not need new a stand alone article as there wouldn't be info enough to warrant needlessly creating them just to bulk out the topic. -- — Calvin999 17:46, 25 September 2015 (UTC)


 * In the past, covers have been required to be part of the topics: Featured topic candidates/Like a Virgin/archive1. Nergaal (talk) 17:11, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Support - I don't beleive that articles on songs that Carey merely covered in the album, which are not primarily or substantively about those covers, need to be included in this topic. Unlike the topic Nergaal linked, Carey's versions are not the most famous versions of the songs, which are themselves classics. -- Pres N  01:48, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
