The Top Ten - week ending 23 November 2019


Welcome back, my fellow loungers!

First off, the bad news. I was notified yesterday by email from Radionomy (the TIL host) that they are merging with Shoutcast, beginning January 1, 2020. Unfortunately, that means there will be a monthly cost that I can't honestly agree to pay, given the size of my listenership. So, as a sad Christmas present, this means that This is Lounge will go off the air on New Years Eve! We had a good run.  Thank you to all of you listeners. 

As the end of the month quickly approaches, Christmas shopping has already started for most you. (There's always the last-minute shopper....) As usual, the programming here at This is Lounge takes on a more festive mood beginning December 1st. With many stores and stations, it seems that Christmas songs are heard the day after Halloween!!  Crass consumerism, right? 

Anyway, I'm sure that you're all looking forward to those seasonal songs mixed into the jazz and chill. I know we are here at the station.

Getting to this week's Top Ten, it looks like Giacomo Bondi has maintained his position atop the chart. Irina has moved into the second position, as Pekter drops to third. Nice to see Peter Pearson move up to the fifth position.

You may have noticed a new Citrus Jam track playing. A Retrologic Dream (33 years back mix) was recently added to the playlist, and has been getting some positive vibes. I hope you like it!

Well, enjoy your Christmas shopping, and don't get too flustered with the crowds, the lack of parking, or just being a general "humbug". Take a deep breath close your eyes.....and plug in your ear buds and tune us in. The stress will dissipate! 

Have a great week, everyone! And, as always....

Stay chilled.
