Song of the week:

  • Two different Jonas brothers!!!
  • An Emeli Sandé writing credit!!!!
  • A Kelly Clarkson normal song!!!!!
  • A Kelly Clarkson Christmas song!!!!!!
  • A Fifth Harmony (sort of) Christmas song with an abso­lutely dis­grace­ful and amazing key change!!!!!!!
  • A MARIAH CAREY CHRISTMAS SONG WHICH IS SHIT BUT WHO CARES IT'S A MARIAH CAREY CHRISTMAS SONG!!!!!!!!
  • A Justin Bieber remix featuring some left-over guide vocals from Julia Michaels!!!!!!!!!
  • Fever Ray are back!!!!!!!!!!
