Dont forget this is no longer a holiday single. Just an "annual single". So, there is no reason it has to be out on the holidays.
That said, are we waiting on the 2016 or 2017?
I will always & continue calling it the annual Pearl Jam Christmas Single, cause that's how it was started. It had to change to Holiday single cause people today are very VERY offended with the words "Christmas" like it's the end of the world. It's true. Now they stopped calling it the Holiday single to just an annual single?
I don't think anyone was offended with them calling it a christmas single.
Heck, a bunch of their songs ARE christmas songs.
I just think it was changed because they no longer wanted to promise it at christmas time.
The problem is that Christmas is the last time of the year to put it out before it becomes 1 year late. By giving up on a Christmas deadline, they are destined to having it be at least 1 year late every year. Now it's on the verge of lapping itself and once again becoming the Christmas Single
I am still holding out hope the hold up is for some dedication/something to Chris.
I doubt it, unless they scrapped whatever plans they had and started from scratch. They had a picture of a test pressing in the May 10 newsletter saying it was in production, and it wasn't until May 18th that Chris passed. Something dedicated to Chris would be appropriate for the 2017 single, but I don't think it would make sense to "retroactively" dedicate something to Chris that is technically for the 2016 single. They're just behind schedule - plain and simple.

More convinced than ever it will be something from Murphy's. Would explain the delay, too. They wanted to wait until the movie and soundtrack were released.

I thought singles were released to hype the album, not the other way around?

I’m starting to lean in this direction as well. A double 2016/2017 of tracks not used in the film soundtrack from the shows or Murphy’s would make sense. There has to be mixed/mastered tracks that didn’t make the final cut of the film soundtrack. Like the 8 extras on the BR/DVD.

Makes sense that they didn't want to steal the movie's thunder.
