Christmas Number Ones by Craig Halstead Pdf

A Christmas Number One is the single that tops the singles chart during the week in which Christmas Day falls and, with record sales peaking in the lead up to Christmas, for many years the Christmas Number One has been considered especially prestigious in the UK.The first official UK singles chart was published in November 1952 in New Musical Express magazine. Al Martino's Here In My Heart was no.1 on the first chart published in New Musical Express, and it held the top spot for the rest of 1952, making it the first officially recognised Christmas Number One. However, the race for the Christmas Number One didn't really begin to take-off until 1973, when Slade released Merry Xmas Everybody, with the aim of topping the Christmas chart (which it did).In 2013, however, Steve Waters published The British Hit Singles January 1940 - October 1952, sub-titled 'The Missing Charts'. The book featured the week by week Top 30 best-selling 78s, as compiled by Colin Brown, based not on over-the-counter sales (as post-1952 charts are), but on sales reps' order and re-order sheets. The Christmas Number Ones detailed in this book are listed chronologically, from 1940 to 2014. The Christmas Number Ones in five other countries are also revealed, namely Australia, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands and the USA.

'Tis the season for finding romance in this hilarious and uplifting holiday read When it comes to relationships, thirty-four-year-old Kate Turner is ready to say "Bah, humbug." The sleepy town of Blexford, England, isn't exactly brimming with prospects, and anyway, Kate's found fulfillment in her career as a designer, and in her delicious side job baking for her old friend Matt's neighborhood café.

The odds must finally be in her favor . . . right?

Sleigh Rides, Jingle Bells, and Silent Nights by Ronald D. Lankford Pdf

When Bing Crosby’s "White Christmas" debuted in 1942, no one imagined that a holiday song would top the charts year after year. One of the best-selling singles ever released, it remains on rotation at tree lighting ceremonies across the country, in crowded shopping malls on Black Friday, and at warm diners on lonely Christmas Eve nights. Over the years, other favorites have been added to America’s annual playlist, including Elvis Presley’s "Blue Christmas," the King Cole Trio’s "The Christmas Song," Gene Autry’s "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," Willie Nelson’s "Pretty Paper," and, of course, Elmo & Patsy’s "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." Viewing American holiday values through the filter of familiar Christmas songs, Ronald Lankford examines popular culture, consumerism, and the dynamics of the traditional American family. He surveys more than seventy-five years of songs and reveals that the “modern American Christmas” has carried a complex and sometimes contradictory set of meanings. Interpreting tunes against the backdrop of the eras in which they were first released, he identifies the repeated themes of nostalgia, commerce, holiday blues, carnival, and travesty that underscore so much beloved music. This first full-length analysis of the lyrics, images, and commercial forces inextricably linked to Yuletide music hits the heart of what many Americans think Christmas is--or should be.

The Perfect Christmas by Debbie Macomber Pdf

For Cassie Beaumont, it’s meeting her perfect match. Cassie, at thirty-three, wants a husband and kids, and so far nothing’s worked. Not blind dates, not the internet and certainly not leaving love to chance. What other options are there? Well…she could hire a professional matchmaker. Simon Dodson has quite a reputation, but he’s very choosy about the clients he takes on—and very expensive. Cassie considers him a difficult, acerbic know-it-all, and she’s astonished when he accepts her as a client. Claiming he has her perfect mate in mind, Simon assigns her three tasks to complete before she meets this paragon. Three tasks that are all about Christmas: being a charity bell-ringer, dressing up as Santa’s elf at a mall and preparing a traditional turkey dinner for her neighbors (most of whom she happens to dislike). Despite a number of comical mishaps, Cassie does it all—and then she’s finally ready to meet her match. But just like the perfect Christmas gift, he turns out to be a wonderful surprise!

1984: The Year Pop Went Queer by Ian Wade Pdf

'A riveting read about a pop revolution hiding in plain sight' PETE PAPHIDES 'Highly energetic, well-informed, opinionated in all the right places and always exciting' DAVID QUANTICK 'Thoroughly researched, erudite and often laugh-out-loud funny' DARYL EASLEA In 1984, pop came out of the closet - even if not all of the artists felt that they could - and, in the process, charted the course of the rest of the decade. In 1984: The Year Pop Went Queer, writer and musician Ian Wade charts where these artists, including Queen, George Michael, David Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Madonna - who all enjoyed chart success in 1984 - were during that epoch-making year. It studies the impact these groundbreaking musicians had before, during and after on the gay community and popular culture, and it demonstrates how they were able to break down barriers, raise consciousness and set in motion the first nascent ripples in a pond that are still being felt today. As a backdrop, it explores the strides made in the name of the cause and how the wider surrounding culture reacted with equal parts glee, bafflement and disgust.
