Yesterday I found out that, far beyond being aware of the phenomenon (because how could she or anyone in the US NOT?), she actively celebrates it!

She calls this time "Mariah szn" ๐Ÿคฎ

If you got royalties everytime your 30 year old song was played, wouldn't you promote it to death?

Nah, at a certain point you don't need any more money and it's just pathological hoarding.

As a hectomillionaire three times over, she probably passed that point before she even released that particular song.

right up there with "money can't buy happiness".
