This Christmas playlist is 10 hours long

ByJohn

There is everything – absolutely everything – that there should be: from Queen Mariah Carey and her timeless “All I want for Christmas is you”, which has now become THE Christmas song par excellence, to Wham! and their “Last Christmas”, passing through Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Robbie Williams, John Legend, Bruce Springsteen with his “Santa Claus is comin’ to town”, Miley Cyrus and her daring reinterpretation of “Happy is over)” by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

What you find below is the most classic of Christmas playlists: 190 songs in total, for a total of over 10 hours of music. To be more precise: 10 hours and 23 minutes. They range from international classics such as hits by Mariah Carey and Wham! to Christmas songs – or in any case attributable to the atmosphere of the holidays – recorded by the protagonists of Italian pop-rock, such as the “Xmas version” of “Pastello bianco” by Pinguini Tattici Nucleari and “L’anno che come” by Lucio Dalla, but also “Egli è il re” by thasup and Mara Sattei (who dedicated their surprising joint album, “Casa gospel” to Christmas) and the children’s hits by Carolina Welcome. Just click “play” to start the playlist.

For Mariah Carey and Wham! Christmas 2024 will be special. Both are celebrating the anniversaries of their respective songs.
