Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, the hottest new corporate job is storyteller.
Then Ford's push into EVs is going worse than Neil trying to parallel park. It's Tuesday, December 16th. Let's ride.
I am a great parallel parker, actually. I learned in the mean streets of South Philadelphia where everyone is watching you. I didn't even have a backup camera at that time. So I just want to clear the air there. I am a good parallel parker. But I don't want to talk about that. What I do want to talk about to start the show is... Mariah Carey. The queen of Christmas has made music history after her ubiquitous holiday bop, All I Want for Christmas is You, notched 20 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, the longest reign of any song in the chart's 67-year history. What's also remarkable is that this song didn't hit number one for the first time until 2019, 25 years after it was released in 1994.
Toby, I think It is extremely well-deserved. All I Want has got infectious energy, classic Christmas flourishes, an impeccable vocal, and enough complexity to keep you listening again and again. Musicologists have identified 13 different chords in the song, far more than the average pop track.
Never heard it. You want to sing it for me, Neil? As your parallel parking for me? No, I think this is indicative of just the holiday music craze era that we are in right now because I want you to pull out your phone right now and check the top 50 songs in the U.S. on Spotify. 33 of them are christmas related in some way amongst stalwarts like taylor swift's ophelia golden from k-pop demon hunters it's a sea of christmas songs right now if you had done the same thing back in 2019 just around 15 christmas songs would appear as of the start of december so We all have a little bit of a case of the blue blaze right now. I think it's comfort music for us as it goes a long way in times of economic uncertainty, just putting on the old classics.
You say it's just you don't have to think about what to listen to. You just, hey, let's listen to the Christmas music. It's December right now. So it is fascinating, though, just how popular Christmas music has become even over the last decade. And now a word from our sponsor, Public.
Neil, I got to talk to you about something. Toby, for the last time, I do not want to hear about your fantasy football team.
No, no, it's public. Before, on public, you could build a multi-asset portfolio of stocks, bonds, options, and crypto. But now, in addition to that, they have generated assets, which allow you to turn any idea into an investable index with AI. You can type in any prompt, like AI-powered supply chain companies with positive free cash flow, or defense tech companies growing revenue 25% year over year.
Okay. That's legitimately cool. So with generated assets, you can create investable indexes, kind of like ETFs, but they are your own ideas. Yep.
Completely customizable, just like my fantasy football lineup. Get started at public.com slash morning brew and earn an uncapped 1% bonus when you transfer your portfolio. That's public.com slash morning brew paid for by public investing, full disclosures and
