If we had to describe the 2023 live music scene in the simplest of terms, it would be record-breaking! From the monumental Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour by the beloved English legend Sir Elton John, to the glimmering Renaissance tour by Beyonce, and the dominating, record-breaking Eras tour by Taylor Swift, this year in live music was truly one for the books.

In this final episode of 2023, the Educate Your Earbuds team recounts the incredible year of live music, from our own personal experiences in the concerts and festivals we attended, to the highs and lows of our live music experience.

How is it that a song that is only on the radio for a few months out of the year can bring in millions of dollars? How is it that a song can stay popular even decades removed from their recording?

If you don't already know what we're talking about, then get those elfs on the shelves out and the cookies ready for Santa because this week we deep dive on...Christmas songs! Those catchy tunes that pop up for two months of the year and then disappear without a trace. They may have been covered one too many times, but one thing that the music industry counts on year after year is the sky high profits that come with the Holiday album releases. From the classics like "Jingle Bells" and "White Christmas", to the more recent hits like "All I Want for Christmas" and "Mistletoe", we cover it all on this week's episode. Stay tuned and you'll get to hear our predictions on the song that can (and very well may) replace " All I Want For Christmas" as the seasons top song!

You might be looking at the title and be wondering..... what do these 3 artists have in common? Well despite two of them being English, they are also all artists that we saw perform this week! Previously we did a music experiment where we went to a concert a week for a full month! Now, back by popular demand, we are recreating the experiment but with a few twists. We crammed it all into one music packed week. That's right we did 3 whole concerts within 7 days, and in this episode we are breaking down them all! Aside from recapping the 3 concerts, we will also be discussing the experience of attending so many concerts in such a short amount of time and whether we think you should try this too!

The Beatles are probably the most famous band to ever exist. With over 600 million sales, they are the best selling musicians of all time. Even though they were only together for roughly a decade, they managed to shape the music tastes of an entire generation. Their breakup in the 70's crushed music lovers, but now in 2023, 50 years later, we have proof that Beatlemania never died.

With the help of modern technology, The Beatles have released a brand new song that features the musical talents of all 4 original Beatles members. Not recreations, but actual singing and playing. How did they seemingly manage to bring John and George back from the dead? We'll tell you all about it, and more on this week's episode.
