I'm going to go for hubris here and say I think this challenge will be pretty easy for me. I don't listen to the radio, they don't play music at my place of work, and my essential purchases are all either mail-order or curbside pickup so I'm safe there.
Edit: to be explicitly clear consider me in for this challenge

One of the residents I've gotta keep an ear on overnight has their TV tuned to the music stations, and they're normally all about country. But tonight, I heard some festive stuff sprinkled in. I'm not gonna assume I'm doomed right off the bat, but I will say this is a bad fuckin' start right here.
Is it only the English language version or the song, or any rendition in any language?
Or like, can we pick one specific language that we speak and if we hear it I. That language we’re pah-rum-pummed?
Any language as long as you know what it is. Obviously if a Swahili version of the song comes on with a unique beat and you don’t know it’s the song...you’re not out.

AHHH! Forgot to sign up for this last night! Request permission for a late join-in.
*raises right hand* I solemnly swear I have not heard the song between 12:00 AM 11/27/20 up to the time of this post, so help me God.
However, full disclosure, I did hear the song on Friday, November 13th at 5:48 PM EST. Turned the radio on to the variety station that normally hosts the Totally '80s Weekend run at that time but instead they switched to 24/7 Christmas music and got ninjaed by the Drummer Boy immediately.

nooooooooooo
you adore me
This is the first year I’ve actually signed up on time, but I play every year, it’s not super serial.
In your dreams!
I've never even heard of it prior to today.
Prediction: I'll lose either by way of morning day-time TV (due to my mother) or by it being in an old TV show that I am binging.
There’s comprehensive lists online of what episodes of what shows have the song in it
My wife HATES that I do this every year. She’s been partially responsible for every one of my eliminations

good luck and godspeed
FESS UP!!
I have it on good authority that there are K-Pop versions

If Mamamoo released a cover of it tomorrow, would you be able to control yourself from intentionally listening to it?
You’re on the list!
Well, I must hang my head in shame because it came up on my mother's playlist while we made some pizza.
Can't wait to see what tv show or movie gets me.
In store radio is actually mixing it up with christmas songs and hits so thats a relief.
And I got a big ol pack of toliet paper!
