Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Yesterday Justin Bieber tweeted a link to his 2011 Christmas duet with Mariah Carey of "All I Want For Christmas Is You", and it already has over 25,000 retweets.
Mariah's festive version of the tune is currently at second place in our poll for your favourite Christmas song (beaten only by The Pogues' classic "Fairytale of New York").
Carly Rae Jepsen (singer with the second most popular song on Spotify in 2012), has also declared:
"I want Mariah Carey to come to my house and sing All I Want For Christmas Is You," Carly told BBC Radio One. "It's the best Christmas song!"
Surprisingly, Mariah's single didn't get to the number one spot in 1994 (the year of its release) - apart from in Italy.
