In other news, Amazon Music announced last week that a selection of artists including Lizzo, Maisie Peters, Kane Brown and Sam Ryder will release covers of classic Christmas songs exclusively onto the streaming service throughout the festive season.

Lizzo will cover Stevie Wonder‘s ‘Someday At Christmas’, while Brown will be putting his own spin on Elvis Presley‘s ‘Blue Christmas’. Meanwhile, Maisie Peters and Sam Ryder will take on ‘Together This Christmas’ and ‘Jingle Bells’ respectively.

“I chose to cover ‘Someday At Christmas’ not just because it’s a classic, but because it’s a reminder to us that almost 60 years later, we are still fighting for peace, compassion, and equality,” Lizzo said in a statement. “A friendly reminder to spread love and kindness this holiday season.”
