I haven't heard Same Old Lang Syne once this year.
I heard Nat King Cole ONCE and that was Deck The Halls. That's just wrong.
I heard Merry Christmas Darling once and it was by some guy.
I HAVE heard a few different versions of This Christmas about a dozen times, and I love Last Christmas, but still, over a dozen times multiple versions of that.
Andy Williams is getting a ton of airplay too. Hoop dee doo and dickery dock and of course TMWTOTY - enough already with that one!

To me it's been pretty much the same ones that get played every year. I was listening to Sirius XM's Holiday Traditions in my car yesterday and it was mostly the same songs (in some different variations) that have been played for decades--which is the whole point of the channel. I haven't heard any version of Merry Christmas Darling other than the Carpenters' classic. And just about every shopping or dining out expedition has had Wham!'s "Last Christmas" pop up somewhere.
Meanwhile, the local CHR I usually hear for about an hour every morning has each day played at least one recent holiday fave; the last couple of days have been songs by Mariah Carey (you know what), Ed Sheeran and Elton John (Merry Christmas), and probably this year's hottest new holiday entry, Cher's "DJ Play a Christmas Song". (Request granted several times over.)

I've been listening to classical Christmas on the radio and my carol CDs, so I have been mostly spared from hearing all the usual suspects, except when I'm in some place that plays the contemporary stuff on the PA.

I really miss not hearing "Walking Around In Women's Underwear" anymore...  |

Hasn't any radio stations played Cher's newest Christmas song "DJ Play That Christmas Song"?

Remember this Christmas song from 1992 by Debbie Reynolds and Donald 'O Connor called "Chrissy the Christmas Mouse"? I don't think it got any radio airplay at Christmas time back then at the time of late 1992 release: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jve0R1dFtbU |
