Wilson Phillips "You Won't See My Cry"

Somehow, I ended up watching listening to audio from Casey Kasem's Year End Countdown from 1992 on YouTube. With all the songs I search for as research for this blog, the analytics department over at Google must have a field day with me. Among the handful of songs I didn't remember from Casey's countdown was the ballad "You Won't See Me Cry". In case you're wondering, the Wilson Phillips tune finished #24 for the year. Now on with the countdown...

Wilson Phillips "Hey Santa!"

Christmas music is broken into two categories: vintage and original songs. Usually artists remake "White Christmas" and throw it to radio stations who gobble it up during their annual All Christmas Music format flip. In the case of Wilson Phillips, the duo reunited following a short hiatus to release a Christmas album called "Hey Santa!". The album gave birth to the title track which went on to annually hurt my eardrums.

Wilson Phillips "Hold On"

Dear Judd Apatow:

Thank you for including "Hold On" in the soundtrack to your film Bridesmaids and introducing Wilson Phillips to a whole new world of fans. 

Sincerely,
Wilson Phillips

Wilson Phillips - "Release Me"

Wilson Phillips had a huge hit with "Hold On" in 1990, but also turned out another #1 song with their follow-up "Release Me."  In other words, Wilson Phillips couldn't figure out what they wanted.
