Which contemporary Pop artists would like to hear holiday songs from, and what is your favorite holiday song of all-time?
|
Fish, WKRZ: Eminem, Christmas rappin’! Fav is “Same Old Lang Syne” by Dan Fogelberg. Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: I would love to hear a Christmas album from Stephen Sanchez, that old school 50’s/60’s vibe would be very cool. Brian Mack, iHeartMedia: I’m a classics guy as it takes me back to growing up, here are a few: Wham “Last Christmas,” Paul McCartney “Wonderful Christmastime,” Darlene Love “Baby Please Come Home,” Band Aid “Do They Know It’s Christmas?,” Elvis Presley Aloha album, John Lennon “Happy Xmas (War Is Over),” and literally everything from Bing Crosby.
Jana Sutter, WXXL: It would be fun to hear a Christmas album from Post Malone. I’m always up for hearing Coldplay do holiday music. Love Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” and I also really like Kelly Clarkson’s acapella version of “O Holy Night.” It’s an instant stress reliever. Matt Johnson, WPLW: Harry Styles without a doubt! Fav is “We Need a Little Christmas” by Andy Williams. |
Rick Vaughn, KENZ: Billie Eilish, give me some Billie Christmas! Favorite song is “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch.” That’s a song that Billie Eilish could do; it would be awesome.
Derrick Cole, WLAN: I’m a big fan of Harry Styles’ voice, would be awesome to hear him do some holiday hits. My favorite holiday song is Andy Williams “Happy Holiday.” Adam Rivers, WKCI: I would like to hear Megan Thee Stallion and Saweetie team up for a Christmas song. “Electric factory” is my favorite of all time is Christmas in East Haven, a KC101 special. It’s on YouTube and hilarious.
Buster Satterfield, WIOQ: A Sam Smith album of just classic songs.. “Christmas Vacation’ that opens the movie by Bobby Vee. Toby Knapp, WASH: A solo Christmas song from Ed Sheeran. Harry Styles, too. Lizzo. P!nk. Billie Eilish and finally… Fall Out Boy or Green Day. ‘Cuz pop needs to remember it’s about ALL popular music, not just what it believes it needs play which it thinks is popular. Ooooh someone should clap for that! I should have also said SHINEDOWN, too! Bob Patrick, WXLK: I think Bruno Mars could put a great spin on a holiday tune. That would be fun to hear. Mariah, of course, is at the top of my list but I’ve got to give some love to “Christmas In Hollis,” “Christmas Wrapping” and “Candy Cane Lane.” Those hit different. |
Erik Bradley, B96: You already know my all-time fave – Mariah Carey “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” Dom Theodore, Radio Animal Media Strategies: Wouldn’t a Doja Cat Christmas project be interesting? Valentine, WBHT: I think Post Malone would make a fantastic Christmas album. It would also be interesting to hear Nicki Minaj’s take on Christmas. And the no-brainer is an entire Taylor Swift Christmas album.
Java Joel, WHBC: Okay, Columbia. Here’s my pitch. “Have Yourself A Harry Little Christmas”. Lizzo just dropped a version of Stevie Wonder “Someday At Christmas” that’s pretty good. All-time? “The Christmas Song” by Nat “King” Cole. It’s perfection. Big Rob, KKPL/KMAX: Post Malone, he certainly has the personality for it. “Jingle Bell Rock,” Bobby Helms and Mariah Carey “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” |
