sexy 3,100 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Holiday singles have historically done well on the charts and been songs that became defining parts of an artist's discography. Songs like Blue Christmas (Elvis), All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah), Last Christmas (Wham), Do They Know It's Christmas? (Band Aid), Wonderful Christmastime (Paul McCartney), Mistletoe (Justin Bieber), etc. have done well commercially â each of the aforementioned songs are among the biggest selling Christmas songs of all time â and remain highlights of those artists' careers. I believe Gaga should release a Christmas single and heavily promote it this year as a way to reassert her commercial presence, and I think it'd do remarkably well given the following reasons: 1. Combines pop and jazz She's a fantastic singer, we all know this. Christmas music is the one time a year jazz gets a national spotlight (in the U.S.) and this presents Gaga with an opportunity to show off her vocal chops, her eclectic genre ability with jazz, and add in pop elements for the GP. 2. Has potential to be replayed every single year "All I Want For Christmas With You" is likely going to be Mariah Carey's longest lasting single. It's a modern Christmas classic at this point and will be replayed December after December, long after she's out of the limelight (in the same way we all sing along to "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree" even though Brenda Lee hasn't had a Hot 100 charting since 1973). A quality Christmas single by Gaga has the potential to become a U.S. Christmas standard for decades to come, in the way that pop stars like Elvis, Mariah, and Frank Sinatra have had their songs become in the past. This is something that a non-Christmas single by Gaga couldn't realistically achieve at this point in her career. 3. Greater chance at chart success Given that the charts are currently dominated by hip-hop/R&B artists, Gaga releasing a pop single would probably not do so hot. Approaching the Christmas season, however, may present a different story. If a hypothetical Christmas single were strong enough, it's likely she could break through the R&B/hip-hop trend without a fuss because it's Christmas, and Christmas rap isn't really a thing. People'd be more willing to break with what's popular and take to a Christmas pop single. While a regular pop single may not fare as well in January 2018, a really good Christmas single in November 2017 has the potential to smash on the radio as stations play more Christmas-oriented music (and thus more pop/jazz-oriented). With a fantastic Christmas single (and I'm sure a Gaga Christmas single would be of the utmost caliber), I think we'd see Gaga return to the radio with great support and would build on the momentum established by The Cure for streaming. Then she'd go into 2018 ready to smash. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality 65,743 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 When I first entered this thread, I was like "Hell, no", but as you explained it, I've been more and more convinced. I'd be okay if she had a Christmas single đđ€đč Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
What About Us 1,499 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'd honestly be here for more than just a Christmas single. An EP would be even better -- a 4 to 5 song EP. Promise I'll always be there. Promise I'll be the cure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werk 13,165 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Fun story: So one of the radios I grew up listening to obviously has a Christmas "playlist" every year when the holiday comes and Gaga's Winter Wonderland with Tony was played on that radio  Spoiler I'm sure the radio is a fan of Gaga btw since they still play all of her singles til this day excluding Lovegame, Judas,  You and I, MTN, DWUW, and GUY  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has a live 4-track holiday EP. 2 of the tracks are Born This Way songs. 1 of the songs is a non-Christmas jazz song. Only 1 of the songs on her "holiday" EP is actually a Christmas song (White Christmas) lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dit 43,478 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 She should re release C2C with like 5 christmas songs. 4 with Tony and one solo. Make that new solo song the single and watch her snatch a cute little recurring hit on the billboard Hot 1000 chart every year (yes Hot 1000).
