The Holidays Are Almost Here: Don't Be Late, Plan Ahead

The beginning of November is a tricky time for most of us.  The NFL is hitting the halfway mark of the season, the MLS playoffs are heating up, and the NHL and NBA seasons have just kicked off.  So WHY ON EARTH would anyone want to think about the Holidays NOW?!?

Before you call me out for sipping pumpkin spice drinks in August or hanging up holiday lights right after Halloween, let me offer a friendly reminder: Teams get busy at this time of year, and music can take a bit of time to license music properly. 

The good news? If you're looking to license holiday classics like TSO, Mannheim Steamroller, Vince Guaraldi, or Frank Sinatra, these licensing teams are accustomed to a barrage of requests at this time of year.  These artists look forward to hearing from teams and approving uses quickly. 

Our advice? Secure your tracks by early or mid-November to stay ahead of the game. If you need a quick holiday playlist for stadium use, check out the one we've curated below or click this link: Holiday Playlist. https://spoti.fi/4hdbR9S

And with that, this marks our final email blast and survey of 2024. I know, sad times—but I want to take a moment to thank each of you. We appreciate your engagement with our blogs, your participation in our surveys, and your trust in us to clear music for in-stadium, social media, and broadcast sync uses. This year, we had the privilege of working with over 75 teams, clearing nearly 300 songs. We're thrilled to have been part of your success and can't wait to assist you again in 2025.

As we head into the holiday season, we're here to support you. Let us know what tracks you need, and we'll ensure you get them right on time. Happy holidays!
