Cher remains one of pop’s most enduring voices. With her 2025 single Christmas Is Here and the long-awaited digital and vinyl release of her live album The Farewell Tour, she is adding fresh chapters to a catalog that still finds listeners in Germany and far beyond, according to Warner Records announcements and international music platforms.
New releases extend Cher’s legacy
The most recent addition to Cher’s catalog is the single Christmas Is Here, released on December 8, 2025 and issued via Warner Records as a one-track digital single.
Apple Music lists the track as a standalone single running just over three minutes, positioning it alongside her 2023 holiday album Christmas and its deluxe edition in her latest releases section, confirming its role as a fresh, post-album add-on to her festive output Apple Music single listing.
Anniversary look at her Christmas era
This new single builds on Cher’s 2023 album Christmas, which marked her first full holiday record and continued a pattern of late-career genre explorations after Dancing Queen, her 2018 ABBA covers album.
Her holiday material gained particular attention in the UK when the lead single DJ Play a Christmas Song entered the Official Singles Chart Top 40 in December 2023, making her the first female artist with new Top 40 material in seven consecutive decades and, at 77, the oldest solo woman to achieve that feat on the chart Official Charts report.
