Cher Unfazed: Indifferent to Album Sales, Enjoys Creating Christmas Music

Renowned singer Cher has unveiled her inaugural festive album, aptly titled 'Christmas,' featuring noteworthy collaborations with musical luminaries such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Buble, and Cyndi Lauper. Cher, however, remains unfazed by the commercial success of the record, emphasizing her immense pride in the project.

In an interview with Britain's OK! magazine, Cher expressed her sentiment, stating, "Even if no one ever listened to it, or no one ever bought it, it's still one of the best albums I've ever made, and I would be proud."

The album boasts a mix of classic covers and fresh, upbeat tracks, as Cher was intent on maintaining a lively and festive atmosphere. She shared, "There are only two sad songs on the album. It's not your mother's Christmas album, you know? I didn't want to sing 'Silent Night' or all the songs that had been sung in better ways by better singers than me."

Beyond her musical pursuits, Cher is pleased with the evolving societal perspective that no longer imposes a "sell-by date" on women. She applauds the shift away from the notion that older women have "lost their value."

Reflecting on this positive change, Cher remarked, "With men, it doesn't seem to matter nearly as much as it does for women. You see men in films and they're craggy-faced and they're old, but no one seems to mind it, but you didn't see women like that. But now women are able to get older and still be relevant."

She criticizes the past practice of assigning a sell-by date to women, emphasizing that it didn't consider the individual's character. Cher concludes, "You just had this sell-by date; it really didn't matter what kind of person you were. I mean, it helped if you looked better, but women lost their value starting at a certain age, which is kind of bulls***."
