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.

Genesis "Never A Time"

Reunited with his old pals from Genesis, Phil Collins dusted himself off after a four-year hiatus and immediately went to work writing new material for the band's 1991 release, We Can't Dance. The group's efforts paid off handsomely as the album went on to sell over four million copies and featured five hit singles on the radio--including the Adult Contemporary favorite "Never A Time". The once again question is whether or not Collins can rebound from multiple surgeries, failed marriages and substance abuse issues? We will soon find out as Collins signed on for his Not Dead Yet Tour which will roll through Chicago in October. It's his first tour of the US in 12 years and will feature his son on the drums.

Celine Dion - "A New Day Has Come"

Adult Contemporary radio stations collectively rejoiced when Celine Dion released a new album in 2002.  Celine absence occurred for a few years while starting a family with her grandfather husband.  "A New Day Has Come" was her first single and it immediately went into heavy rotation.  Once the darling of the AC format, Celine's music is nearly extinct in more current years.
