The only radio station that gets Christmas music right
Tis the season for comforting background noise.
The problem with Christmas music is not so much that it’s bad (much of it is bad) but that there’s only so much of it. And among that tranche of Christmas songs that go from the reverent praises of the lord to treacly covers and rushed-to-market pop slop, there are very few bangers. I have two ears and a heart so I will speak no ill of Mariah Carey. But her song — which is one of the only true mass market bangers of the season, though this Kelly Clarkson joint deserves nearly as much attention, imo — doesn’t hit as hard at the office dance party after you’ve been hearing it nonstop all day in festive scenarios such as, “waiting 20 minutes for someone to unlock the deodorant case at Duane Reade.”
