Bryan Adams latest Christmas single ‘California Christmas’ has been quick to prove a festive favourite. Released on November 26th via Bad Records, the sun-soaked festive anthem has shot to No.1 on the Canada Radio Holiday Chart, while it is also on the playlists of 45 radio stations across the UK. Today (Dec 15th) it has now also been announced as Record Of The Week for both Radio 2 and Virgin Radio in the UK.
‘California Christmas’ brings together an all-star cast of friends including, Alessia Cara, Alan Doyle, Barenaked Ladies, and The Sheepdogs. Recorded live at Vancouver’s iconic Warehouse Studio, the single captures the warmth, joy, and musical chemistry that define Adams’ collaborations.
The stars have come together for Bryan Adams & Friends: A Great Big Holiday Jam, a new 13-track festive album, originally recorded for Bryan Adams & Friends ‘A Great Big Holiday Jam’ TV special on Citytv and Citytv+ in Canada, which premiered on Dec 8th along with the release of the album.
