A year of songs:
I said this morning that one thing I want to do this year is to post more music content on here. So (foolishly) I've set myself a challenge of posting a song each day. To make it harder I'm imposing 2 rules: I can only use each artist once, and the song titles should cycle A-Z.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
This was the album that brought us glorious singles like "Can't get you out of my head" and "Love at first sight". It has been retrospectively declared the greatest album of Kylie's career.

As the opening notes on the xylophone are played, you know exactly what song this is. That's how iconic this modern Christmas classic is. Despite being recorded on a warm August day, this has sold over 16 million copies worldwide.

Coming to prominence in the 20s as an inventive trumpet and cornet player - and later as an instantly recognisable, gravelly singer - 'Satchmo' was among the most influential figures in jazz. Here's one of his rare Christmas songs.

During December, each of these posts will be a Christmas song. We begin with one from the 40s, written by Irving Berlin and recorded by Bing Crosby. It speaks of something many long for... a blanket of snow on Christmas morning.
