I feel Hero is more like a signature song by Mariah. AIWFCIY is like a classic holiday song which everyone likes but seldom gives credit to whoever sings it. If just a regular folk goes to see Mariah Carey's concert I guess the person would more expect her to sing HERO than AIWFCIY.

I'd have to agree with "Hero". I would agree with AIWFCIY, all of the points made for that are valid. But the song kind of transcends Mariah to a point where people don't necessarily look at her and think "She sings that great Christmas song." When that song resurfaces every year, it's more like "Forget everything else I think about Mariah Carey. I love this song." So you could say "biggest hit" but I wouldn't say "signature" any other time than the holidays. In Japan, perhaps. They love that song all year.

Think of whenever there's a generic event: Whether it's a charity telethon or the Wal Mart shareholders convention: She is always expected to do "Hero". That's why it's almost always the closer of the show or the encore.

Just my thoughts.
