"The festive season is a time for colour, ambiance and festive cheer, but if you listen to the radio, it's all the same tired songs. Yes, we know, Wizzard wishes it could be Christmas every day, and yes, we know everyone loves singing about "cheap lousy f****ts". While the masses are off listening to Chris Rea singing "Driving Home for Christmas", we'll be sitting in the corner listening to Mariah's vocal acrobatics and Kylie singing with the very dead Frank Sinatra, thanks very much."
"Where else would we start? Mariah's Christmas album, simply titled Merry Christmas, is about as good as it gets. Mariah pretty much invented Christmas when she unleashed this legendary album on the world all the way back in 1994. It's the album that gave the world "All I Want For Christmas Is You", which may well be the all-time best pop girl Christmas song."
Most mainstream Christmas radio playlists feature repetitive, similar songs. Eight iconic Christmas albums from prominent pop female artists provide an alternative, offering festive drama and varied holiday sounds. Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas (1994) contains "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and mixes pop with overt religious themes while shaping modern pop holiday music. Destiny's Child released 8 Days of Christmas in 2001 during the group's commercial peak. The selected albums include original pop songs, traditional carols, and unexpected collaborations, emphasizing vocal showmanship and celebratory singalongs as lively, dramatic companions for the festive season.
