A British one: Denise Welch (Natalie Barnes, Coronation Street) and Tim Healy (Brian Tully, Coronation Street) are the parents of Matty Healy, lead singer of the band The 1975.

Jfc indeed.

Great thread! Some big ones off the top of my head: The late Christopher Lawford (Charlie, AMC) was the son of Peter Lawford and was also a Kennedy scion (the nephew of JFK) Scott Evans (Fish, OLTL) is the brother of Chris Evans, aka Captain America Rhonda Ross Kendrick (Toni, AW) is the daughter of Diana Ross and Motown founder Berry Gordy, half-sister of Tracee Ellis Ross, and sister-in-law of Ashlee Simpson. Through Gordy, she is also the half-sister of Rockwell (“Somebody’s Watching Me”) and Redfoo (of LMFAO).

I’m torn on that. If the charts are supposed to reflect what people are listening to, it’s harder to think of a song more ubiquitous right now than “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” But she may literally hit No. 1 every year from here on out (and ironically eventually reclaim her record from “Old Town Road,” just with non-consecutive weeks). What’s interesting is how much a boost Brenda Lee’s even-older “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” has gotten.

Whoopi is going to absolutely lose it on Meghan very soon.

Mariah scores her 19th No. 1, putting her just one behind the Beatles’ record. First soloist to ever hit No. 1 with a holiday record, and she has hit No. 1 in three consecutive decades (1990s, 2000s, 2010s).

I’m sure if they had left well enough alone with that ad, they’d have had some conservative rumbling, but it would have been a tempest in a teapot. Now they’ve enraged both sides and drawn negative attention to themselves. Like you say, they’re lucky.
