What's In-Store Music
Presents
The Walmart & Sam's Club
Radio Takeover (Holiday Edition)
Tis the season for What's In-Store Music to start securing artists for the Walmart & Sam's Club Radio Takeover (Holiday Edition). This year, you've seen us present Walmart & Sam's Club Takeovers with Collective Soul, Judah & The Lyon, and Mat Kearney. In the coming weeks, we will bring you two more with Almost Monday and LOCASH on deck. A takeover is just as it sounds. The artist takes over Walmart & Sam's Club Radio, playing their favorite songs and artists along with a few of their tunes. The hour-long program plays four times on a Saturday in EVERY Walmart and Sam's Club across the country, and online at Walmartworld.com.
We are currently accepting inquiries for our Holiday Edition to be played during December. Every Saturday will feature a different Christmas-themed takeover. Previous holiday takeover artists include Amy Grant, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Chicago, and Goo Goo Dolls.
Check out these highlights From the Amy Grant Holiday takeover:

"Lost In Vega$"
"Las Vegas is one of my favorite cities in the world. It doesn’t have actual ancient ruins or thousands of years of history–it’s barely even a hundred years old. Yet Las Vegas is unique in this one way: at its core, it’s a city of illusion that is completely upfront about the deception you choose to participate in. When you go there, you’re completely immersed in a magical world that is simultaneously both completely fake and wholly authentic. It’s like an adult version of Disneyland and I think that says more about human psychology than a textbook ever could."

When walking through a couple of big box stores last weekend, I couldn't help but notice that the Halloween decorations looked especially spooky this year. Then I realized, they weren't spooky they were spooked! They thought they had the store to themselves for a few weeks to get people excited for their big night but NO! Christmas decorations are already popping up. That's right, retailers are already erecting their first holiday displays throughout their stores. It's happening people, and you can't stop it. This is probably a good time to tell you that Christmas Music in stores begins in 39 days! Happy Holiday everyone!
Have a great week,
Scott Emerson
