Amid the crisis, major at-home fundraising concerts have taken place to raise funds for frontline workers, food security, and other related issues arising from the impact of the pandemic.


The online appearances by Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, Willie Nelson and others have provided much-needed funding to charities offering help to people facing financial hardship, and distracting fans social distancing in their own homes.

Though the online concerts are free, viewers are encouraged to donate to a range of causes and covid-19 relief funds. Etan Vlessing provides a synopsis with the most recent charitable fundraising totals for five of these events that can be viewed at Samaritanmag.com

Kesha Brings 'Holiday Road' to The Billboard Canadian Hot 100

The newly independent pop singer's cover of Lindsay Buckingham's 1983 song from National Lampoon's Vacation was first released as a Spotify exclusive for the holidays. Michael Bublé's Christmas, meanwhile, remains at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums chart.

Kesha has brought an under-appreciated holiday gem back to the charts. Her version of "Holiday Road" debuts on this week's Billboard Canadian Hot 100 (dated Dec. 28, 2024) at No. 83.

"Holiday Road" was originally released in 1983 by Fleetwood Mac legend Lindsey Buckingham and serves as the propulsive opening theme to the Chevy Chase-starting classic comedy road trip film National Lampoon's Vacation.
