The holiday season brings joy, magic, beautiful decorations and a soundtrack of carols and standards that we revisit year after year. Sure, these tracks may get us in a festive mood, but for retail workers listening to them on what can feel like a truly endless loop they could also lead to madness.
New research from customer feedback company HappyOrNot reveals that not all holiday hits are created equal for store associates. The company shortlisted the 10 most-streamed songs from Billboard and asked 215,000 members of the Retail Worker Confessions Facebook community to share which songs they love (and hate) to hear while they’re working. Perhaps surprisingly, Mariah Carey’s ubiquitous All I Want for Christmas Is You ranked as associates’ most-hated song.
