Last week, Mariah Carey joined Capital XTRA Breakfast with Manny Norte (sitting in for Robert Bruce and Shayna Marie).
R&B and pop legend Mariah Carey jokingly told Capital XTRA’s Manny Norte this morning that she will have a quick word with King Charles about taxes and the congestion charge when she performs at Sandringham later this month. Mariah also blind-ranked five of her best tracks, placing festive classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ at number one!

Mariah Carey jokes that she will ask King Charles to sort out taxes and the congestion charge when she performs for him at Sandringham later this month!
MN: “Now, you’re performing for the King. Is that correct?”
MC: “Yes.”
MN: “Have you performed for the King before?”
MC: “I have not.”
MN: “Okay.”
MC: “So, that’s kind of a big deal.”
MN: “Is there anything you'd ask the King?”
MC: “No, because I just want to leave him alone. I don't want to bother people.”
MN: “I'll ask him a few things. Like, no tax, no congestion, straight away, you know?”
MC: “See, I'm not from this country, so…”
MN: “Okay. Fair, fair. That's what I want: No tax, no congestion, no parking [fees] for the rest of my life. You know what I mean?”
MC: “And you think he’s just going to give that to you?”
MN: “Well, if I was performing or DJing, I'd ask that. Would you ask for me?”
MC: “I’m going to say you told me to ask.”
MN: “Haha! I’m serious too!”
MC: “I am too!”
Mariah Carey definitively ranks her greatest ever songs, with festive classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ coming in at number one
MN: “I want to play a few clips of some of your big songs, okay, and your job is to rank them.”
MC: “My job is to rank them?”
MN: “Rank them like one through to five. I've got five here. Yes ma’am. But the only catch is, once you listen, you have to lock in that position. You can't change them.”

MN: “Okay, moving swiftly on.”

MN: “Damn.”
MC: “I’ve going to have to go with number one.”
MN: “Yeah, you can just retire from that one song, damn it.
