What I meant by major artists wasn't just the big time pop artists - anyone with a recording history longer that a couple albums (after all most of us here are into folk/bluesI just wonder if there is pressure from recording companies for artists to do holiday albums irregardless of the artist's feelings toward the season.
I see Loreena McKinnett has done a holiday album but for some reason they're trying to charge me $15 for a short album (it's about 20 min.).
