12. "Baby It's Cold Outside" - Seth MacFarlane

Who knew that the creator of "Family Guy" was a crooner?


11. "Christmas in Harlem" - Kanye West

Christmas music, like Kanye, defies all labels.


10. "Christmas Tree" - Lady Gaga

As commenter YouTube Obsessed said, Gaga "Sleighed it."


9. "All I Want For Christmas Is a Real Good Tan" - Kenny Chesney

Anyone who lives north of the Mason-Dixon Line can understand Kenny's struggle. Who wouldn't take sunny beaches over snow boots?


8. "Last Christmas" - Taylor Swift

A holiday throwback to when T-Swiz still qualified for a CMA.


7. "My Only Wish (This Year)" - Britney Spears

IT'S BRITNEY BITCH.


6. "Mistletoe" - Justin Bieber

No one asked for it, but we got it anyway.


5. "Wonderful Christmastime" - Paul McCartney

For when you want your holiday to transcend both time and space. The music video alone is on a different plane of existence.


4. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" - *NSYNC

Features Gary Coleman in a green pleather suit, and Justin Timberlake with his quintessential frosted tips. Truly the reason for the season.


3. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" - Sam Smith

If nothing else, now we all know what an angel really sounds like.


2. "Santa Baby" - Michael Bublé

How many ways can Michael Bublé avoid saying "Santa Baby" and instead go with something more platonic? Not enough, if this instant holiday classic is anything to go by.


1. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" - Mariah Carey

Of course, number one is reserved for The Queen of Carols. Take it away, Mariah.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.
StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Miami University
Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
