Instead of making a brand new thread for every single song for this season, I thought it might be helpful to have one thread where we can discuss just the new recordings for this Christmas season. It'll be easier to distinguish the hits of "Christmases past" and those of 2005.
Any news on new recordings?

Good idea! We can still make individual song topics for those songs, but it is nice to have a list of current Christmas songs too.

Some stuff on iTunes:
Josh Gracin - O Holy Night
Kimberley Locke - Up on the Housetop
I'm sure there's more. There's also a new Disney "jingle jams" from all their Radio Disney artists, so if you want to hear Jesse McCartney singing Christmas songs...

Didn't Mariah record a new version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"?

It's really too bad that Wal-Mart has to get recording stars to do exclusives for their company in an attempt to distract consumers from the fact that they discriminate against certain employees....I'm not buying ANYTHING from Walmart..... >:(

Some Christian Christmas singles:
Joy Williams - "Here With Us"
Point of Grace & John David Webster - "Let There Be Light"
Natalie Grant - "I Believe"
Some new songs (not necessarily singles) that excite me:
Anberlin - "Baby, Please Come Home"
Rebecca St. James - "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing"

Keyshia Cole - Silent Night is going to download services next Tuesday. You can listen to it here. I think it's really good. Elton John is releasing a Christmas album exclusive to Starbucks, that includes a duet with Joss Stone, "Calling It Christmas". Don't know when it's coming out. This is UK only, but Girls Aloud are also releasing an exclusive version of their new album Chemistry out December 15th with a bonus CD of Christmas songs. It also includes an special holiday album cover.  Tracklisting: 1. I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday 3:59 2. I Wanna Kiss You So [Christmas In A Nutshell] 3:36 3. Jingle Bell Rock 1:57 4. Not Tonight Santa 2:42 5. White Christmas 2:57 6. Count The Days 3:54 7. Christmas Round At Ours 3:02 8. Merry Xmas Everybody 3:43 |

Seriously though, out of all the releases this year, the only one that excites me is Keane's cover of "Holy Night"
