Surprisingly downcast Christmas shopping music

During a recent grocery shopping trip, I was surprised to hear Michael Jackson's "Little Christmas Tree" over the sound system.  Stores generally play upbeat Christmas music, such as "Deck The Halls" or "We Need A Little Christmas."  It was unusual, while shopping, to hear Jackson's tale of feeling rejected at Christmas, much like the lonely Christmas tree he sings about.  If I hear "What Do The Lonely Do At Christmas?" by The Emotions in any store, I'll be even more surprised.
