This video is a bit creepy... but the song's a hit.

CHART NOTES
Matt Cardle holds on to the #1 spot for a 2nd week in a row with "Run For Your Life." Fact is the top 3 records are the same this week as last week. Holding at #2 is Bruno Mars with "It Will Rain" and Coldplay at #3 with "Paradise".
Elsewhere in the top 20 most songs that moved up made only small steps up from the previous week. Songs that moved down, plummeted considerably (for a top 20 list). Those songs on a downward spiral include "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People down from #7 to #12; Rihanna's "We Found Love" down from #13 to #18 and "Mr. Saxobeat" by Alexandra Stan down from #14 to #19.
Only one song makes a debut to the top 20 this week... and this is "Red Solo Cup" by country artist Toby Keith coming in at #20. It's quite a funny song about a guy who bonds with a red plastic cup.

A few days late and maybe a dollar short, but this video and song has turned out to be my favorite Christmas song of the 2011 holiday season. The recording featuring Caro Emerald has been layered upon an old Brooke Benton track, a holiday chestnut that has been largely unheard of in my opinion. This new version brings the song up to date and hopefully develops it into a future classic.
Happy Holidays!
Mel
