Ce 19 décembre, sur RTL2, Pop-Rock Station bouscule la tradition et célèbre un Noël hors normes. Marjorie Hache orchestre deux heures gorgées de soul (James Brown, Otis Redding), de rock pur (AC/DC, Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, The Offspring, Korn), de pépites indie (Bat For Lashes, Sufjan Stevens) et de perles inattendues (Rick Moranis). En termes de nouveautés, Orville Peck illumine la soirée avec "Happy Trails". L'album de la semaine, "All The Best For Christmas" du crooner Gaspard Royant, s'inscrit comme la bande-son idéale. Le live culte vient de Gaz Coombes & Adam Buxton avec "I Believe In Father Christmas". Côté reprises, Oasis ressuscite le célèbre titre de Slade, tandis que le long format est signé The Who : "Christmas" extrait de l'opéra rock "Tommy".
