Acoustic Hearts of Winter
''Acoustic Hearts of Winter'' is a Christmas album and the second studio album by American pop duo Aly & AJ. The album was released on September 26, 2006 in the United States, via Hollywood Records. The album was conceived as a project after completing the deluxe edition of their debut album, ''Into the Rush'' (2005). All production of the album was done by Antonia Armato and Tim James. The majority of songs are cover versions of religious Christmas carols or contemporary classics. Two originals appear on the set, which were written by Aly & AJ with Armato and James. Musically, the album has an instrument-driven acoustic feel, primarily by guitar. It utilizes pop music influences on Christmas music. The album sold 110,000 copies in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aly and AJ - Acoustic Hearts of Winter: review )〕
The album received generally positive reviews, with critics complimenting the lyrical content of the original songs and the overall sound. ''Acoustic Hearts of Winter'' debuted on the US ''Billboard'' 200 at 78, and peaked on the Top Holiday Albums chart at 14. It was the second best-selling holiday album of 2006. The sole single from the album, "Greatest Time of Year", used to promote ''The Santa Clause 3'', peaked at 96 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Aly & AJ promoted the album mainly on ''CD USA'' and at the 2006 Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade. In 2007, the album was re-released with three new traditional cover songs.
==Background==
During the summer of 2006, after wrapping up the production and recording of their debut album, ''Into the Rush'', Aly & AJ began recording their first Christmas album. Antonina Armato and Tim James who worked on the duo's debut album and several other Disney-related acts, were recruited to executive produce the effort.〔 They anticipated finishing the album by the end of the summer, in order for it to be released for the holiday season.〔 Aly & AJ thought it ironic that they were prepping a Christmas album during the hottest days of the year.〔 Alyson Michalka told the ''Saginaw News'' that producers Armato and James filled the studio with Christmas decorations, Christmas cookies, and a tree with gifts to open after they were done, in order for them to get in the Christmas spirit.〔
