The ability of a Christmas hit song to create a lifetime of steady revenue is well known. Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song” is one of the traditional Christmas tunes. But in the 1980s and 1990s, Mariah Carey and the British Duo Wham! were given entry to this exclusive club of artists who bring in a substantial sum of money each Christmas. When Band Aid’s “Do They Know Its Christmas” took the top place in the UK charts in the 1980s, Wham!’s “Last Christmas” fell to number two.
But from George Michael’s death on Christmas Day in 2016 until 2024, Wham! has been at the top of the charts. Additionally, the video’s 4K re-edit of “Last Christmas” has received 963 million views on YouTube. However, Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas is you” gradually gained popularity and became a Christmas classic, bringing in over $2000,000 in streaming revenue for Carey each year.
It is understandable why so many artists attempt to create a Christmas hit each year. Ali Hugo is among the musicians who have attempted to write, arrange, and produce a Christmas hit; Hugo’s most recent single, “Feel Fine, This Xmas Time,” provided by V***** Music Group, is presently trending on a number of social media sites. Surprising fans with scheduled Christmas releases is nothing new for Hugo. For instance, Hugo released “The Tiny Terrace Concert” for the 2020 holiday season. However, Hugo’s marketing strategy of instant gratification is changing in favor of a longer-term, more sustainable approach.
The fact that “my team and I have stopped depending on statistics provided to us by third parties and have come up with innovative ways for tracking views and listeners to our content” is one of the reasons behind this change in Hugo’s holiday season marketing strategy. Hugo said. “Yes How we do it is a big secret! “It’s comparable to “knowing where to invest your money in a certain Latin American country, because the interest rates are high and yet no sharing that info for personal gain”
The reality is that we must consider combining our products for the holidays and offering Ali Hugo fans a DVD+CD release of a special collection of Christmas cover songs, including Hugo’s most recent single, “Feel Fine, This Xmas Time,” . In future holiday seasons, This combo may be available for purchase from the official Ali Hugo website store.
Hugo will have to record cover versions of Christmas carols that are already recognized as being in the public domain. Given Hugo’s previous success with the “I Gotcha Covered” album, this shouldn’t be too tough.
Although a massive quick global smash can make it difficult to track earnings and speed the music’ path to the public domain to be archived next to jingle bells, one does want to achieve a Christmas hit and enjoy its fruits gradually.
