Music Charts Magazine® History

– Song for the month of December 2014:

Christina Aguilera “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Christina Aguilera - Song for the month of December 2014 at Music Charts Magazine - Have Yoursef A Merry Little Christmas

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” is a song introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis. Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics. The song was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane. In 2007, ASCAP ranked “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” the third most performed Christmas song during the preceding five years that had been written by ASCAP members. In 2004 it finished at #76 in AFI’s 100 Years…100 Songs rankings of the top tunes in American cinema.

The song was written while Martin was vacationing in a house in the neighborhood of Southside in Birmingham, Alabama, that his father Hugh Martin designed for his mother as a honeymoon cottage. Located at 1919 South 15th Avenue (just down the street from his birthplace at 1900 South 14th Avenue), the house became the home of Martin and his family in 1923. The song first appeared in a scene in Meet Me in St. Louis, in which a family is distraught by the father’s plans to move to New York City for a job promotion, leaving behind their beloved home in St. Louis, Missouri, just before the long-anticipated 1904 World’s Fair begins. In a scene set on Christmas Eve, Judy Garland’s character, Esther, sings the song to cheer up her despondent five-year-old sister, Tootie, played by Margaret O’Brien.

JACK BLANCHARD'S COLUMN at Music Charts Magazine®

 

A CRABBY LITTLE CHRISTMAS.

 

Starflakes were falling. The moonlight was dreamy.
The snow was all drifty, and tasted whip creamy
Toyland was singing on this Christmas Eve.
Santa’s sleigh was all packed up and ready to leave.
“The big rush is over!”, I heard an elf shout.
They gathered together as Santa came out.
The boss shook each hand as he passed through the group.
Mrs. Santa appeared with a thermos of soup.

“Ho ho”, laughed the chief, as he thanked every one
“for your loyal support, and a job so well done.”
He climbed to the cockpit. “Let’s rock!” he cried.
The reindeer all giggled till they nearly died.
He tucked in the blanket along by his knees,
And took aim at the Milky Way over the trees.
There was shouting and waving and kisses goodbye.
He fastened his seatbelt and soared to the sky.

The crowd went inside to get out of the weather.
Time for the annual Elf Get-together.
All except one, who just slouched on a stump,
Crabby Bassnaster, the neighborhood grump.
“What is it, Crabby”, asked toymaker Spiro?
“We do the work”, he crabbed. “Santa’s the hero.”
“Merry Christmas, big deal”, and “Humbug”, he said.
“Just put it into my paycheck instead.”

Back to the workshop he stumped with a grumble,
grumping back over his shoulder to mumble:
“Land, if there’s one thing that I jes’ cain’t take,
it’s singin’ an’ dancin’, an’ ice cream an’ cake!”
Toyland was darkened, and spookily still.
Not a sound of a hammer, much less a drill.
Rumble and grumble, he slumped through the halls,
Even his shadow looked sad on the walls.

By the light on his workbench he fumed and he fussed,
brushing away at a small speck of dust.
“One more ‘ho-ho’ from jolly ol’ Santa,
And I’m gonna pack an’ go back to Atlanta.
Sweeping the floor in a circle of light,
He saw something shiny there, off to the right.
“A leftover present? How can that be?
How come these troubles all happen to me?”

Tied with a ribbon and stuck with a pearl,
the card was addressed:” To a good little girl”.
“The name an’ address are marked here inside,
so it looks like I’m in for a cold midnight ride.”
He hitched up the sleigh for the unscheduled run.
“The work of a pore elf jes’ ain’t never done.”

(Later that Christmas Eve…)

“Now, let me see, this looks like the house.
I hope I don’t stir up no critter nor mouse.”
Then from the roof, down the chimney he slid.
“They ain’t makin’ chimleys the way that they did.”
There by the fire a little girl sat.
“Jes’ what I need, a wide awake brat.”
She said, “Are you Santa”? He seemed sort of scarey.
“Do bloodshot eyes twinkle? Is my nose a cherry?

No, I’m just a gopher, a regular jerk.
He gets the glory, an’ we do the work.”
“I love you”, she melted. “You ARE kinda cute!’
His face turned as red as his little red suit.
“I just couldn’t sleep. I was feeling so bad.
It’s my first Christmas Eve away from my dad.”
Suddenly sobbing and snurfing and sighing.
Could all of that racket be Bassnaster crying?

He gave her the gift, and he kissed her goodbye,
With almost a twinkle in one teary eye.
Up to the rooftop, and into the sleigh,
He cranked up the reindeer and roared them away.
“Back to the party! Les move this ol’ crate!
I better not miss out on ice cream an’ cake!”
And, I heard him shout, as he dropped ‘er in gear,
“Merry Christmas, y’all, and a Happy New Year!”

 

Jack Blanchard.

Stephanie Spinner, Cheryl Lynn Spinner & Megan Battaglia ( SPINN ) are Music Charts Magazine’s December 2014 NEW DISCOVERY and we are happy to have some northerly winds with the music of Spinn blowin’ your way.

Spinn - A Music Charts Magazine NEW DICOVERY

 

The girls of Spinn have always been firm believers that there’s not much in life that can’t be fixed with great music, good friends, and a few shots of tequila. And whether it’s their beautiful blend of three part harmonies, vibrant stage presence, or infectious personalities, it’s no wonder their attitude helped them receive notoriety around the Jersey music scene and beyond.

Forming in 2006, they began playing shows at legendary Asbury Park venues such as The Saint and Fastlane, and soon spread their music across the Hudson River in NYC with a wave of performances at Kenny’s Castaway’s, The Delancy, Ella Lounge, Tammany Hall, and the National Underground. After gaining monentum over the next several years, Spinn went on to record their debut album “She Was Heartache” in 2009 with a rhythm section that included guitarist Steve DeSteno and drummer Dominick Velardo. This lead to a successful college radio promotion campaign and even a feature on NJ Radio station’s WDHA 105.5 FM on Lindsay Klein’s Homegrown Spotlight.

Their release of the 2009 EP “She was Heartache” brought the band to new heights around the US, eventually landing then in Hartford, CT at the Webster and a slot at Peabody’s Inn for the Cleveland Music Festival. Spinn went on to release their most recent album “A Little Crazy” in July 2012 and have moved from playing smaller clubs to bigger venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, Arlene’s Grocery, and the Bitter End.

Reminiscent of the Dixie chicks, the Gin Blossoms and the acoustic-laden styling of Ray Lamontagne, their unique melody lines grab audiences’ attention immediately and their ability to blend different genres always proves to entertain and inspire. Spinn considers their friends and fans a part of an extended family and wishes to share their feel-good atmosphere with honest lyrics and a style of songwriting that is sure to pull you in from the moment the music starts.

The Hotdisc chart is compiled from DJs and industry professionals’ ratings of songs currently being promoted on the Rush Released CD. They are not airplay charts, as airplay charts cannot work in Europe because there are no terrestrial country stations. The hundreds of country programmes on air which we service are likely to play a particular song only twice at most in a three month period, therefore rendering airplay charts insignificant in Europe. It works well in America where there are plenty of non-stop country stations but it does not work here. Any Airplay Chart you may see claiming to provide this service is bogus and Hotdisc does not condone these charts at all. They are misleading at best for the reasons stated.

The Hotdisc charts are put together weekly using ratings supplied by DJs who give scores to every song on the last three months’ editions of Rush Released. The scores are averaged out per week to give an accurate guide to the songs which are being championed by the industry. The aim is to showcase the songs which the industry professionals are flagging up as quality songs. This is a very useful exercise as it is free of politics, hype and rigging and done solely on merit!

The Hotdisc chart is compiled from DJs and industry professionals’ ratings of songs currently being promoted on the Rush Released CD. They are not airplay charts, as airplay charts cannot work in Europe because there are no terrestrial country stations. The hundreds of country programmes on air which we service are likely to play a particular song only twice at most in a three month period, therefore rendering airplay charts insignificant in Europe. It works well in America where there are plenty of non-stop country stations but it does not work here. Any Airplay Chart you may see claiming to provide this service is bogus and Hotdisc does not condone these charts at all. They are misleading at best for the reasons stated.

The Hotdisc charts are put together weekly using ratings supplied by DJs who give scores to every song on the last three months’ editions of Rush Released. The scores are averaged out per week to give an accurate guide to the songs which are being championed by the industry. The aim is to showcase the songs which the industry professionals are flagging up as quality songs. This is a very useful exercise as it is free of politics, hype and rigging and done solely on merit!
