BuzzJack Music Forum _ Katy Perry _ Cozy Little Christmas
Posted by: Theo. 15th November 2018, 09:14 AM
Katy has released a brand new Christmas single titled "Cozy Little Christmas"! It's only available on Amazon currently - I'm not sure if it'll be added to other sites.
Personally it's still too early for me to listen to Christmas music but I'm looking forward to giving it a spin later in the month.

Thought she was retiring from music???

I heard this today. It’s ok - Nothing fantastic though.

Still haven't heard this

Same here, and probably never will if its only available on amazon. Do they think people are going to sign up to amazon music for one song?

Scott Mills played it on his show the other week - listen from 17:28:

It's decent, not a banger like her H&M Christmas song from a few years ago. Why does she keep punishing us with these retailer-exclusive festive tunes?!

Why Amazon though? Does anyone stream music on Amazon?
Posted by: Theo. 30th November 2018, 07:52 PM
She keeps teasing a music video for this on her Instagram so hopefully it'll have a full release in the next few weeks.

People evidently DO use Amazon Music as it's currently in the midweeks top 100 
I may have to buy it closer to Christmas if it stands a chance of going top 40 officially

This is #8 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Chart this week and it's also #2 on Adult Contemporary Radio
It's just been A-Listed by Radio 2 as well so I expect it to do well on the UK radio chart for the next three weeks

You know what, it’s not necessarily what I want from Katy but I don’t think it’d be so dumb for her to start aiming at a more Adult Contemporary market now. She’s edging towards feeling like a joke towards the pop scene now and I think her aiming at something in the vein of The One That Got Away perhaps could work for a comeback.

Now officially a UK top 100 hit and top 50 on radio!
Also, American Idol posted a clip of the contestants from its upcoming season surprising Katy by singing this

Haven’t even heard this is it any good? I just don’t fancy subscribing to prime tbh.

It's not her best
Posted by: crazycatlady 18th December 2018, 05:04 PM
I've still not heard this either. I was expecting it to appear on youtube but just done a quick search and can't find it
Posted by: ChRiMbO LeG PiPe 18th December 2018, 06:32 PM
I heard it bowling. It was on their playlist
Posted by: 🎄Cqmerqn🎄 20th December 2018, 10:53 PM
This could’ve been huge if it was released on all platforms... crazy that it’s top 100 through Amazon sales/streams..
I bought it rather than subscribing, but I really like it!

It's #56 this week! Question is... how?
Posted by: Jay ☆ 22nd December 2018, 11:24 AM
Seems that Amazon have a decent share of the streaming market, these days! All of its streams will be premium because there’s no free option on that platform like Spotify. Plus it helps that it’s on SCR amongst a considerable number of ACR tracks.

#68 on Billboard Hot 100, smash!
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 24th December 2018, 09:59 PM
I'd seriously love for Spotify's share and monopoly to be reduced.
Posted by: Cqmerqn 29th December 2018, 11:46 AM
#23 in the UK Charts!
Posted by: Mack. 2nd January 2019, 12:02 PM
If it is on all platforms next year, could it be a Top10 for her?
Posted by: Jay ☆ 2nd January 2019, 05:46 PM
It could be argued that it being an “Amazon Original” exclusive new release meant that it ultimately stood to receive more attention than it might have done if it’d been an ordinary release across all platforms. Amazon went all out with promoting it to ensure that many people would become aware of its existence (certainly Amazon’s users, but also beyond that - for instance there were billboards that cross-promoted Cozy Little Christmas and Alexa).
I don’t think it’s worth entertaining the idea of it becoming widely available tbh. It belongs to Amazon and I’d be surprised if the exclusivity deal was solely for one year, but I suppose time will tell.
Posted by: Dappy New Year 2nd January 2019, 06:00 PM
Even if it is widely available Spotify won't be putting it in their playlists because they're salty about songs that are initially exclusive to other platforms (see Katy's own 'Rise') so it ultimately won't affect her chart position much.
Don't like the song though so hopefully it is forgotten next year.

To be released on all platforms next week.
Posted by: danG 24th October 2019, 02:19 PM
Looks like this'll be back in the top 40 this year then, though my point from January two posts above still stands, can't see Spotify giving it a push.
Posted by: Michael Myers 24th October 2019, 03:10 PM
Finally!
Posted by: Cqmerqn 24th October 2019, 06:46 PM
YESSS
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 1st November 2019, 04:59 PM
Out now!
Posted by: Jonjo 6th November 2019, 01:32 AM
First time hearing this in full.. It's cute. But it's a bit... I dunno the right word but maybe plain? Like it doesn't make me want to rush back and replay it like many other Christmas songs etc..
I like it though. As I said, it's cute.
Posted by: Juliano 6th November 2019, 09:38 AM
Be interesting to see how this does now it's on Spotify, if it managed#23 without being there.

Can't wait
But as one of the few stans of this song on BuzzJack, I felt like it was my duty to support it x
