“Happiness is a Warm Gun” isn’t the only connection between The Beatles and Peanuts. Both groups exemplified the optimism of the 1960s era. Charles M. Schulz’s Charlie Brown was so assured of positive outcomes he repeatedly tried to kick a field-goal-placed football held by the town’s resident five-cents-a-session psychiatrist, Lucy, in spite of the knowledge she would pull it out from under him at the last moment. He faced defeat and realized “the world didn’t come to an end.”
When Schulz’s comic strip moved into animated TV specials, much of that expectant wonder was expressed through the music. Jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi joined the Peanuts’ creative gang in 1964, when he was hired to score a TV documentary about Schulz, A Boy Named Charlie Brown. The documentary never aired, but jazz label Fantasy Records released the Vince Guaraldi Trio’s soundtrack, Jazz Impressions of A Boy...

The most wonderful time of the year was no match for Sza, whose sophomore album “Sos” topped the Billboard 200 for the third week in a row with 128,000 equivalent album units based on its combined album sales, individual track sales, and online streams. But holiday albums did manage to grab five slots in the top 10 for the tracking week that ended December 29 (four days after Christmas), including two that reached the top five. Read more about this week’s chart here at Billboard.com.
“Sos” is the first R&b album by a woman to spend three weeks on top since Beyonce‘s self-titled effort a decade ago. It managed to eke out a win over a still-strong Taylor Swift‘s “Midnights,” which came in at number-two with 106,000 units (still in six figures after 10 weeks of release). Then came “Christmas” by Michael Buble, which took number-three despite dipping 14 to 62,000 album units.
