The True Meaning Of Christmas

By External Source

In 1965 Peanuts creator Charles Schulz fought with his show producers at CBS to keep a one-minute reference to Christ in the animated special, A Charlie Brown Christmas. The producers argued highlighting religion in the special could limit the audience reach. Schulz didn’t budge and the show has become a seasonal favourite across the globe. The accompanying music by American composer Vince Guaraldi was released by Fantasy Records in the same year and has gone on to sell millions of copies and has been voted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and added to the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry list of "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" sound recordings.

Bruno Mars Will Have Taken Nearly 10 Years to Release His Follow-Up to a Grammy Album of the Year Winner. Is That a Record?

Barack Obama was president when Mars' last solo studio album was released.

Bruno Mars and Harry Styles recently announced their first new studio albums since they each won the Grammy for album of the year. Mars’ The Romantic, his follow-up to 24K Magic, is due Feb. 27. Styles’ Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, his follow-up to Harry’s House, is due one week later.

Styles will have had a gap of three years, nine months and 15 days between studio albums, not inordinately long by current standards. Mars will have had a gap of nine years, three months and 10 days between solo studio albums. That’s a long gap but it’s not the record for the longest wait for a studio follow-up to a Grammy-winning album of the year.
