It's Christmas all over the world - Sheena Easton

In 1986 the movie Santa Claus was released, and it featured some Christmas songs, obviously. This single was taken from the movie soundtrack, and it features Sheena Easton in a yuletide mood. 1986 wasn't a particularly successful year for the Scottish singer, as the singles from her recently re-released album Do you didn't chart, and the single 'So far so good' from the soundtrack of About last night only made it to number 43 in the US Billboard Hot 100.

Unfortunately, 'It's Christmas all over the world' fared even worse: the single didn't chart anywhere and the song disappeared from the radar. Some artists have their income sorted when they record a Christmas song - in the case of Sheena, she had to work a little harder in the years that followed.
