Ariana Grande – thank u, next (Official Video)

This is a song in which the diva Ariana Grande, drawing on her own heartbreak, conveys a positive message of “Alright, let’s move on!” At first it may not seem related to Christmas, but at the end of the music video, a girl group dressed in Santa outfits makes an appearance! The song also touches on marriage, so it fits a variety of contexts.

She sings about how her exes shaped who she is today.

Santa Tell MeAriana Grande

Ariana Grande – Santa Tell Me (Official Video)

It’s a classic cover song sung by the diva Ariana Grande.

It became a hall-of-fame Christmas cover of the 2010s, and during the season you can hear it everywhere—on TV, out in the city, practically anywhere! I’d say it’s thanks to the combination of her soaring vocals and her cute looks.

A collaboration between Canadian singer The Weeknd and French electronic duo Daft Punk.

It was released digitally in 2016 and charted in countries around the world.

A warm-sounding track that’s perfect for a chilly winter.

Some of you may be planning to sing and dance and really liven things up for Christmas.

If so, one track you should definitely keep in mind is “DJ Play a Christmas Song.” It’s included on pop singer Cher’s Christmas album, “Christmas.” The song has an EDM feel and carries the message of “let’s just dance and have fun.” It seems perfect to play at the start of a party.

Rockin’ Around the Christmas TreeDCappella

DCappella – Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree (Audio Only)

Have you ever heard the a cappella version of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”? Or rather, since it’s a song that practically always gets played at Christmas, I think you’ve heard it even if you don’t know the title.

It’s exactly the kind of Western Christmas song you absolutely want to play at a party.

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)Little Mix

Little Mix – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) (Cover)

Including their career and sales and everything else, U2 reigns at the very top among active rock bands of the 2010s.

They have many devoted fans in Japan as well, and I think people are always looking forward to their new songs.

I was surprised to learn that they had released a Christmas song.

Their Christmas track is a straightforward, powerful piece.

Notably, guitarist The Edge is said to continually study his own gear and explore spatial sound design, and I think you can feel that in this song as well.
