Summary: We look at Christmas Music from a different perspective this week. Firstly, what Christmas Songs charted well in 2012 compared to 2013...and how many are covers versus originals? So we 'uncover' the story behind 'covers,' and 'cover' the difference between the 2012 and 2013 Christmas season. What did we 'uncover'? Check it out in this episode! Radio Dale is the podcast for independent musicians and people interested in the Canadian music industry from our unique perspective at the Dale Speaking offices.

This podcast gives away some of our best information for free, and serves as the 'radio show' to broadcast the ideas, observations and insights we discover every day working with Canadian and International artists. PART ONE: This Week In Music History: who knew the Teletubbies were such great songwriters!! http://thisdayinmusic.com This Week On The Charts: Who are the top Canadians on the charts this week? INTERMISSION: Dale Speaking favourite Jeffery Straker is back with a Christmas song that really touches on a sentiment I'm sure we've all felt: 'Comin Home For Christmas.' PART 2: Amber, Roo and India chat about Christmas music from a different perspective this time around. Instead of looking at how it can help with strategies, or when is best to submit a Christmas song, they look at what radio played in 2012 and what they're playing (so far) this season. We uncover some of the secrets, such as 'covers' or 'originals' and what genres are more likely to get airtime during the holidays. Listen for the discoveries they made!
