Why can\u2019t I find you?\u201d she sings, giving the wistful lyrics new energy and edge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe six-track EP also includes four original songs \u2014 \u201cI Wanna Be Your Christmas Tree,\u201d \u201cChristmas Is Killing Me,\u201d \u201cBlues on Christmas,\u201d and \u201cWhen We Were Young\u201d \u2014 as well as a reprise titled \u201cChristmas, Why Can\u2019t I Find You.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201c<em>Pretty Reckless Christmas<\/em> started as just one song, but the moment we got into the studio, it took on a life of its own,\u201d Momsen said in a statement. \u201cThere was so much emotion, nostalgia and chaos wrapped up in it that it didn\u2019t feel right to leave it standing alone. To really honor it, I needed to build a whole world around it. That\u2019s how this project became a full body of work \u2014 something bigger, deeper and far more personal than I ever expected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMomsen\u2019s last studio album with The Pretty Reckless, <em>Death by Rock and Roll<\/em>, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Top Album Sales chart in 2021, making them the first female-fronted band to hit No. 1 on the chart with their first four albums. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMeanwhile, \u201cFor I Am Death,\u201d The Pretty Reckless\u2019 first new music since its 2021 album\u00a0<em>Death by Rock and Roll<\/em>, climbs to No. 1 on the ranking dated Nov. 8. It\u2019s the band\u2019s eighth leader and fourth straight, a streak that dates to 2020, when \u201cDeath by Rock and Roll\u201d led for three weeks, followed by reigns for \u201cAnd So It Went\u201d and \u201cOnly Love Can Save Me Now\u201d in 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn 2013, The Pretty Reckless made its maiden appearance on the tally with \u201cHeaven Knows,\u201d a song that ended up reigning for four weeks beginning in March 2014. That kicked off a streak of four consecutive No. 1s, with \u201cHeaven Knows\u201d followed by \u201cMessed Up World\u201d (2014), \u201cFollow Me Down\u201d (2015) and \u201cTake Me Down\u201d (2016).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.billboard.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Momsen is revisiting a holiday classic \u2014 with a rock twist.
