Comment:

It's tempting to rely solely on the classic chestnuts when it comes to Christmas music. Try as you might to drop a little Sufjan Stevens into the mix, people are going to be clamoring for the Johnny Mathis when it comes down to the wire. iTunes is doing our best to eschew nostalgia on our latest edition of the List. This week, you'll find 41 Christmas songs that were released this year. These are just a fraction of the holiday records that come out every year, and if you find it hard to believe that you missed out on so many, click over to the full-length albums and see for yourself.
