She was possibly the most amazing live performer I've ever seen. And I've seen hundreds of them. I guess if she's ever touring around the holidays then it would be even more reason to drive wherever you need to to see Taylor Swift live. I bet she does a few of these live in her holiday shows...

4 TSO songs including rare live acoustic tracks from our studios.

Catch 5 songs worth of Justin's Christmas cheer.

Ok I have to admit, when I was writing this I almost misspelled the name of the song. I almost had a chile being born. Yay! Spicy Christmas! Anyway here's the hottest act of the year, Rihanna with "A Child Is Born". I guess she's from the Caribbean so a chile wouldn't be that far off...

Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson put together a "Wintersong". Not necessarily a holiday song, but I guess it works. I found it on a Christmas song list so I'm going for it. It's sad though and no one wants to be sad around the holidays. Unless you have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)...

X-Factor controversy aside Nicole Scherzinger is still hot. I don't know what the future of the Dolls is right now with her solo career taking off, but I hope they're not done. Of course I don't even know who is n the PCD anymore. We can always remember who they were for now though...

This has been a Christmas classic since it was released in 1987! It was actually featured on 2 Christmas compilations that year, "A Very Special Christmas", and "Christmas Rap". It actually charted in 2000, 13 years after it's initial release...

A quirky guy who writes his songs during, and about, his insomnia. That's also where the name Owl City came from, constantly being up at night. That would explain the ethereal nature of his songs. And this one is no different, except it's also about the holidays...

Ryan Tedder is quickly becoming one of the most sought after song writers of our day. OneRepublic just keeps belting them out, hit after hit. This song has a slight jazz tilt, but it's definitely OneRepublic through and through. A great song to listen to with your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife etc...

How could you even talk about pop holiday songs without the kings of the boy band scene. N'SYNC, most famous for, well, Justin Timberlake, were kind of a big deal for a while there. That's why I included an older photo of the full band. I mean does anybody really care what they're doing these days anyway...

They had a breakout year in 2011. So what better for a pop rock band to do to wrap up their debut year? Follow up with a rockin' holiday tune of course. You might have first heard of Neon Trees on KISS New Music. This band of Mormons can knock on my door any day...

Originally by a novelty country act, Vince Vance And The Valiants, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has become a holiday classic in its own right. Released in 1989 it topped the country charts that year. Finally recorded by some artists that the rest of the world recognize, like Mariah Carey, the song became an international pop hit too...
