Released by Capitol Records in 1981, Christmas Wishes marked Murray’s first holiday album and quickly became a seasonal favourite. The record peaked at #34 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart, earned Double Platinum certification in the US and Triple Platinum in Canada. Now, newly remastered for the ANNEversary Edition, the album features HD audio, Dolby Atmos mixes, and bonus instrumental versions of every track, offering fans a reimagined listening experience.
Adding to Canadian holiday celebrations, SiriusXM Canada launched a brand-new exclusive collaboration - Holidays with Anne Murray & Friends from November 4 through December 26. Today, listeners can tune in at 6PM EST to The Anne Murray Holiday Special, a one-hour program where Murray shares memories behind her most cherished holiday songs and the traditions that continue to inspire her music.

Originally released in 1980, Anne Murray’s Greatest Hits is a collection of nine previously released singles from 1970 through 1980, alongside recorded track, “Could I Have This Dance”, which appeared on the soundtrack to the film Urban Cowboy and reached #33 on Billboard’s Hot 100. This milestone compilation became the first collection of Murray’s chart-topping singles, from her breakthrough hit “Snowbird” to her later career classics and is certified 6x Platinum in Canada. In the US, the album peaked #16 on the Billboard Album Chart, rose to #2 on the Top Country Albums Chart (holding for nine consecutive weeks), and was certified 4x multi-Platinum, marking it (at the time) her best-selling album.
Christmas Wishes and Anne Murray’s Greatest Hits are available to stream and download, as well as 180gram black vinyl edition with OBI-Strip. The deluxe digital edition of Christmas Wishes also includes Dolby Atmos mixes and bonus instrumental versions.
These new ANNEversary releases follow the success of Murray’s latest studio album from earlier this year, Here You Are, which debuted #1 on the Canadian Country Albums Chart and #8 on the U.S. Country Albums Chart. The album features 11 newly found songs recorded between 1978 and 1996 that were rediscovered from the archives and masterfully updated for release.
With over 55 million albums sold worldwide, four GRAMMY Awards, three American Music Awards, three CMA Awards, three CCMA Awards and a record-breaking 26 JUNOs, multi-Platinum albums and many honours to her name, Murray continues to stand as one of the most successful and influential recording artists in music history.
