Do you hear it? That's the sound of the first notes of holiday music coming out of the speakers in retailers across the country. It's already begun, and it will only grow from here. If you have a Christmas song, you'd like to get played in stores this holiday season, there's still time to get it played by participating in the 9th Annual What's In-Store Music Holiday Program, but you'll need to act fast as it takes a few days to get songs up and running. For more information, check out our holiday deck and once you're ready to go, just hit the submit button, fill out the form, and let us take care of the rest.

"Let's Get Together"
"'Let’s Get Together' truly encapsulates the feelings of the holidays for me! We wait all year to get together with family and friends, share laughter and joy; all while enjoying the soundtrack of classic holiday tunes by Donny Hathaway, Mariah Carey, Dean Martin and so many other greats! I wanted to write a song that gave me that same soulful, joyous feeling. That’s how 'Let’s Get Together' came along.
Co-written with my dear friend, Shane Stevens (Grammy nominated songwriter for Walker Hayes, Lady Antebellum, Sara Evans and others), we dove into our souls to fill up on the holiday spirit. We wrote of love and togetherness, vehemently including the message that 'Everybody’s welcome' at our table. The song came together in an hour! I, then, went on to produce it. Each and every musician who played on this record is a dear friend, and they all brought magic with every note. My goal was to listen to this record and smile, and I do on every listen. I’m so thrilled with how 'Let’s Get Together' came together. I hope you enjoy it and play it on repeat this holiday season!"

Out & About with
Scott Emerson in the Big Box Stores
I know it's our business, so we pay attention to it more, but Christmas Music is starting to play in stores. It's not as though it starts everywhere at the same time. The early birds have already started sprinkling it in, and it won't be long before you begin to hear it if you haven't already. As the weeks progress you will notice that it will begin picking up. It's up to the retailers to switch to holiday music on their own, which means by the time Black Friday rolls around, they will ALL be playing it. I heard my first few holiday songs last week in the big box stores and I got excited, because that means the 9th Annual What's In-Store Music Holiday Program has officially started!
Have a great week,
Scott Emerson
