I think you will agree with me that the sound of January is reflected in the below chart. Sherry Finzer’s flute, Hollan Holmes’ synths and City of Dawn/Damien Duque’s ambient landscape all communicate this month’s particular atmosphere. There is also a trace of December and Holiday spirit here, thanks to Enya’s Christmas Secrets.
I’m happy to see that so many of you are tuning in to New Age Stars Radio these days. The channel is finally available worldwide again (yay!). Every album that you read about on New Age Music Guide will be featured on the channel. So many New Age music channels have gone silent over the last few years, so I thank you all for supporting me in my quest to keep “the stars burning bright” 🙂

The score is based on three factors; (1) The popularity of an artist’s tag on Newagemusic.guide, (2) the number of streams in the built-in players, and (3) the number of requests for songs from an album, to be played on New Age Stars Radio.
