The Top Ten - week ending 16 June 2018


Welcome to Saturday! 

My fellow loungers, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I'm sure that a lot of you have been doing Spring garden preparations, planting flowers, etc. and making your spaces beautiful.

I hope that you are tuning in and enjoying the sounds we have to offer - some chill, some jazz....some popular, some indie, some classic..... a mixed bag to keep it interesting.

This week on The Top Ten, the wonderful chill of Stephanie Sante reaching number one this week, knocking down Alex Cortiz a couple of notches to the third position. The cool sounds of Soundcloud discovery, Paul Blackford, squeezes in between at number two. With the Steve Gadd Band and Jojo Effect hot on their heels, your votes help choose who's favoured to go up and down. 

This week also sees, not one, but two new tracks making the move up from Bubbling Under. The downtempo sounds of Mahoroba and ex-Matt Bianco singer, Basia, both are ready for the prime time of the Top Ten. Now its up to you whether the go far. Cast your vote for these, or the others, at www.thisislounge.com.

Added a couple of tracks from another Soundcloud find, chillhop artist Audiobot. One is a new release, the other (an older tune) has been added to the general playlist. So stay tuned to hear both! 

Also, stay supportive. The station thanks you, and the artists thank you.

Before I sign off, let me pass aong a technical note. Apple has been slowly deleting stations from it's Internet Radio section of iTunes, and unfortunately, This is Lounge has been removed from their listings. Rumour has it that to promote Apple Music, the stations (which they have no control over) are in competition with the streaming service. Good news is, that iTunes was not the number one player used by you listeners. I'm just sad that I cannot play it through my Apple TV anymore.

Oh well, there are numerous directories and sites to tune in from, so don't give up looking.

Till next week....

Stay chilled.
