The Top Ten - week ending 27 July 2019


Happy Saturday, my fellow loungers!

It's so nice to hear from some of you....telling me that you listen on your patio, streaming through a Bluetooth speaker. That's so nice to hear! Relaxing with a cold drink under the shade of an umbrella, with a gentle breeze blowing.....that's the chilled lifestyle!

What a wonderful Top Ten this week, as Alex Cortiz climbs into the number one spot with Broken Elevator. That means you'll be hearing him a lot more often during the day! Congrats Alex!

With Keren Ann dropping into third, Frou Frou jumps unto the second position with Guitar Song.

Sambox made some headway this week, with votes that brings him up to number six.  Clelia Felix is moving up nicely, as well. Keep an eye (and ear) out for these two wonderful tracks.

Thanks for tuning us in. Whether its on a Bluetooth speaker, or over the wifi on your phone, be sure to take a few minutes out of your day to chill.

Until next week,

Stay chilled.

Welcome back to the weekend, my fellow loungers!

Like me, I'm sure you are cramming in as much Summer pleasure as you can out of these beautiful sunny days. Between road trips visiting friends to just chillin' on the patio, that Winter hibernation seems so long ago.

The wonderful Clelia Felix joins the group this week, as Keep Watching The Stars sneaks in at number ten.

Finally! The weekend is here! 

There's nothing worse than sitting in an office, and looking outside at a beautiful warm, sunny Summer day. It's torture.....torture, I tell you! 

Anyway, it appears that that warm Summer feeling has manifested itself in the results of the votes this week, as we see Michael e rebound back to the number one position, with A Nice Warm Feeling! Wow! That knocks Keren Ann down a notch to number two, ahead of Frou Frou's rise to number three. Alex Cortiz remains safely at number four again this week.

We have a new entry into the mix this week, as Sambox makes the jump from Bubbling Under, landing at number nine, with the Electro Chillout Mix of a track from his latest, called Show Me.

Just a reminder, tonight at 6:00 pm (18:00) Toronto time, our weekly Saturday night programming kicks in, leading off with Koop Kooper's Cocktail Nation sneak preview. For a taste of a bygone era, be among the first to get a listen to Sunday's show. And after too much partying, be sure to tune in Sunday morning (5:00 am to 1:00 pm) for The Hangover Show, six hours of beautiful, laid back Chillout to ease you into the day.

Well, enjoy the rest of your weekend, and don't forget to take us along. As always....

Happy Saturday! Is everyone having a great Summer so far?!

Great weather....great music.....ah, that's the good life!

Thanks for tuning in this week. By the way, I recently discovered that you should be able to access the This is Lounge stream through the Amazon Alexa, as well as Sonos. Just say, "Alexa, ask MyTuner Radio to play This is Lounge."  Good luck!

We have a new number one this week, as Keren Ann's Bleu leapfrogs over !Noj. Congrats to you, Keren! And thanks to all of you who voted for her on our website!

This week, we also have a new entry on the chart, as Wish de Nuit joins us from Bubbling Under to bring their chillhop sound to the group. Please show you appreciation by voting for them at www.thisislounge.com!

Speaking of appreciation, your time spent listening to our smooth sounds station is truly appreciated. Thank you for spreading the word to friends, colleagues, and family members. The station and our artists will truly benefit in the end.

Have a great weekend, everyone! Happy 4th of July to my US listeners (routed through a VPN)! 

Until next week,

Stay chilled.
