Rimes is gearing up to treat us with a whole collection of festive goodies that includes the limited edition ‘Greatest Hits Christmas’ vinyl and the super exclusive personalized turntable that every music lover will want to have. Together, the turntable and the vinyl will be ‘the ultimate package’ for Christmas!
Rimes expressed her euphoria in an extravagant manner and even said “This is the 1st time I’ve seen this! I’m extremely happy!” while she was showing the vinyl that was in blush color. She was so animated while talking about the record that she even pointed out the very nice details of the packaging and the personal pictures that are included. Then in a playful way, she got a little confused while demonstrating the turntable that goes with it and so she declared this the “most chaotic video ever” because she was trying to figure out how to operate the machine.
The limited availability of these products has also contributed to their appeal. Rimes referred to the rare turntables as “very, very limited edition” and urged the fans to hurry or “make sure Santa has a head’s up” for the morning of the day before Christmas. The vinyl records and turntables will be signed by the artist personally, thus making them doubly special for the collectors.
There were immediately fan responses, and a lot of them were very excited about the festive release. One user even stated “Calm, Chaos & Christmas 🕯️ 💿🎄 And we love it” which is spot on; while acknowledging the merry confusion of Rimes’ announcement they are also having a good time with the seasonal offering.
There was a somewhat comical incident concerning the turntable. Someone jokingly asked “How does a record player work? Girl, you made me feel old,” Rimes quickly replied “no no…. this one in particular… I know how it works 😂” indicating that she is ready to have direct talks with her fans about the old technology.
In the comment section, a few users requested more of Rimes’ discography on vinyl. “Queen, we need your discography on vinyl 😭 I need to hear sitting on top of the world, twisted angel, and…dare i say, i need you on my turntable 🙏,” was one fan comment. Another user echoed the first one and exclaimed “YESSSSS!!!! The greatest hits will all the country throwbacks?! On a pink vinyl. I’d die,” thereby signalling strong demand for more vinyl releases from the artist.
The combo of holidays and nostalgia for physical media greatly resonated with Rimes’ followers. A savvy fan commented “It’s been a long time since I remember seeing record jackets and vinyl records, especially the colored ones,” thus connecting Rimes’ new release with the pleasing and nostalgic aspect of music collecting.
Many comments noted that the fans are now very emotionally attached to Rimes’ music, especially during Christmas time. One of the followers said “You and Christmas is always such a season ❤️🎄” while another remarked “Your voice is not only music to my ears but it’s magical,” thus indicating that Rimes’ Christmas albums have become part of many fans’ holiday traditions.
One fan’s reluctance to purchase a turntable didn’t reduce his desire to have it and he admitted, “I want that! Even though I don’t have a record player 🤪❤️❤️❤️” Which indicates that the attraction for the items is due not only to their functionality but also the artist’s love.
Rimes’ fellow artists from the music industry also supported her; a wellness professional commenting said “No way!!!! The record player too!!!! Amazing merch my friend. Very very very cool idea!!!” thus demonstrating the broad market that Rimes’ innovative merchandise idea has.
