As there is ongoing discussion about how often (or rarely) one hears Carpenters on the radio (e.g., Heard Carpenters ), I was thinking about how Carpenters' Christmas songs are typically played every year for about a month preceding the holidays. Let's equate that to an artist having a hit record once a year, with airplay for a few weeks. Now if you consider that Carpenters' Christmas songs have been given airplay for 1 month every year for 40 years, that's quite an achievement! Not a bad track record if you think about it... And this string of airplay actually started several years earlier with the release of "Merry Christmas Darling."
Christmas Portrait has achieved platinum status and continual accolades year after year. Thus, Carpenters' niche in Christmas music alone is a viable, enduring legacy...
