December 4th, 2024
It's Almost Time To Call It A Year. If you've been out in public recently you, we're sure you have noticed Christmas music is now playing overhead and will remain in heavy rotation in retailers through the end of the year. As this happens, current song selections slow way down and in many cases stop playing again until after the first of the year. That being the case, anyone who has a current, non-holiday release with us, next Monday will be your final report of the year and we will resume current campaigns, the second week in January, once everything is back up and running. Next week will also be the final week of the year for charts to be posted on ALL Access. The remainder of the holiday charts will be published on our website, and holiday reports will continue until Christmas. If you have anything you'd like to get started for the first of the year, feel free to submit it HERE and we can schedule it to start when you're ready to go.

"Ho Ho Holdin' You"
"'Ho Ho Holdin’ You' is my joyful tribute to love that feels like Christmas every day of the year. When I started writing this song, I wanted to capture that magical feeling of being with someone who brings warmth and happiness into your life, making it feel like a celebration, no matter the season.
The idea came from those moments where just being close to someone can feel as festive and special as the holidays. It’s about that unique person who sprinkles a little magic into your everyday routine—someone who makes you feel like it’s Christmas morning, even in the middle of summer.
The upbeat tempo and playful lyrics reflect that sense of joy and excitement. I wanted listeners to feel uplifted, just like the way love can lift our spirits. When I think of the holidays, I think of laughter, connection, and warmth, and I aimed to weave all of that into this song.
My hope is that 'Ho Ho Holdin’ You' resonates with anyone who has experienced that kind of love. It’s a reminder that the spirit of Christmas can live in our hearts all year round, as long as we’re with the ones we cherish. So, whether it’s December or July, let’s embrace the magic of love every single day!"
