I used to work at a major outdoors retailer. The music on blast wasn’t too bad most of the year because they actually had like a 12-hour playlist, so nothing repeated.
Then Christmas arrived. There were still no repeat tracks throughout the day. But the thing about Christmas songs is that there’s only like 10 songs that have each been recorded by like 15 different artists, so while the individual recordings didn’t repeat, we’d still hear the same song 8 times a shift.
Seriously, nothing wrong with the old carols, but people need to write new ones or something. blef.
And people did. There’s tons of new Christmas songs written every year. But they a) don’t catch on, b) are not in the public domain obviously.
IT’S LOVELY WEATHER FOR A SLEIGH RIDE TOGETHER WITH YOUUUUUUU
Americans are fucking amateurs. In Japan (they also have stores in Hawaii and Guam) there is a retailer called Don Quixote (it’s like upscale Japanese Target). They play one song and ONE SONG ONLY on repeat during all business hours. 365 days a year.

Yup, can confirm! Same goes for Yodobashi Camera
This one? https://youtube.com/watch?v=-C0CPrBLUA0
Why touch perfection?
They play the new one now
Who is this woman?
Nobody know. She just appear one month and disappear for the rest of the year. Though someone suggest she’s actually Christmas Spirit, and Santa Claus is the one seal her in ice every year.
I wish it was just a month
More serious answer: it’s Mariah Carey in the music video for “All I want for Christmas is you”, https://youtu.be/aAkMkVFwAoo
Thanks. Now that I hear it, I am familiar with the song, but had never watched the music video.
The boogeyman of american retail
We, who live in the distant lands, have luckily never been exposed to her spells.
She must make a killing on the residuals from that one song
It’s a good song but it’s so overplayed that I don’t enjoy it anymore.
According to a quick search, she makes $2.5 million to $3 million per year in residuals off of that one song.
Good for her, and also damn I’m jealous.
She makes what an average person makes in their life each year on that.
I think Maryhanna Grande?
She can fuck off until December.
Her and George Michael.
I see more reposted memes about the song than times I hear it.
If people shut the fuck about it, Nobody would care.
Yeah thats kind of the whole point of social media. You post, people comment.
Which is quite different than a social medium, where you die and they still try talking to you.
