Sounds for the Holidays

Sting, along with an array of guest musicians and vocalists, channel winter and the holiday season through a collection of songs, carols, and lullabies spanning the centuries.

The first holiday release from the folk singer/songwriter contains songs like "Here Comes Santa Claus," "Winter Wonderland" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." All Dylan's current and future royalties from the album will be donated to Feeding America, which works to help end hunger in the U.S.

Recorded during McCartney's three-night stint at New York's Citi Field, the two-disc set contains hits from the Beatles, Wings and his solo career. Also included is a DVD of the performance.

The box set contains all 13 of the Fab Four's albums, from "Please Please Me" to "Let it Be," digitally remastered for better sound quality. Also included is a DVD of mini-documentaries.

The soundtrack to the posthumous documentary on the King of Pop showcases the songs Jackson sings in the film, including favorites like "Want to be Starting Something," "Thriller" and "Smooth Criminal." Also includes the title track and a poem called "Earth" recited by the late singer.

The soulful songs and guitar solos are both back on Mayer's fourth studio album. The tracklist includes "Half of My Heart," a duet with Taylor Swift, the single "Heartbreak Warfare" and a cover of the Cream song "Crossroads."

The debut album from the glam rocker and "American Idol" runner-up includes the title single, "For Your Entertainment," and "Time for Miracles," which was included in the film "2012."

The Italian tenor takes on classic Christmas songs including favorites like "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," "Silent Night" and "White Christmas."

The country singer's hit album gets a re-release in time for the holidays. The new edition includes six bonus tracks and a DVD containing five music videos and a photo gallery.

The Canadian crooner's first album in two and a half years mixes original songs with his own take on standard classics from various eras.

The country crooner and "American Idol" winner incorporates both country and pop tunes into her latest album, including upbeat songs like "Cowboy Casanova" and power ballads like "Change."

The country duo covers favorite holidays songs like "Silent Night" and "Winter Wonderland," mixing them with original ones like "Gold and Green" and "City of Silver Dreams," an homage to New York City at Christmastime.

The singer's third Christmas album is a light-hearted album containing holiday favorites including "Deck the Halls," "Sleigh Ride" and "The Chanukah Song."
