POPULARITY
Cameron & Sheldon have both suffered with bouts of illness this week, so here's an episode with Arcane Roots from our YouTube archive. Featuring a partial cover of Bing Crosby's White Christmas and guest questions from Birmingham's JAWS. New episodes resume next week! Recorded in Home Nightclub at 2Q festival in Lincoln.
This week we kick off a special HOLIDAY EDITION of #GravePlots! We add a random implements of Holiday Terror that we pull from which may include a baby jesus nativity scene piece. We jump into making a story called “Ho Ho Homicide”. The story is pretty insane. When a local radio DJ (Dennis Leary) plays Bing Crosby's “White Christmas” backwards anyone dressed as Santa Claus starts murdering people. Plus we dive into some of the recent news and even come up with a brand new #Horrorshot as a pregame for the Thursday episode for movie “A Cadaver Christmas”.

I'm sitting here in my big, black, comfortable pappa chair in the living room, listening to some Christmas music. There's Christmas music all over the radio again this year. The Eagle's "Please come home for Christmas" is the fifth most played Christmas song on the radio again this year. Number four is Andy Williams "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano comes in at number three. Nat Cole's "Christmas Song" is number two. And THE most played Christmas song this year is Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" from somewhere around 70 years ago. All those artists had lots of hits in their careers. But the most popular Christmas song of all time was a one hit wonder.

Bing's recording hit the charts on 3 October 1942, and rose to #1 on 31 October, where it stayed for 11 weeks. In the following years Bing's recording hit the top-30 pop charts another 16 times, even topping the charts again in 1945 and January of '47. The song remains Bing's best-selling recording, and the best-selling single and best selling song of all time . In 1998 after a long absence, his 1947 version hit the charts in Britain, and as of 2006 remains the North American holiday-season standard. According to Guinness World Records, Bing Crosby's White Christmas has "sold over 100 million copies around the world, with at least 50 million sales as singles."
