Sometimes a chart is like a ready-made mixtape, well-balanced and fresh. I believe that is especially true when talking about the May 2021 New Age Music Chart. Starting with Diane Arkenstone’s deeply comforting “Safe in the Angel’s Wing”, via the exciting “Ambient Highways” by Keith Richie and Kosmic T’s hard-hitting “Rise Of The New Earth”, to the meditative “The Silence of Grace” by Deborah Martin and Jill Haley – and more! – this chart is a summer mix we all can benefit from.
In other news; New to the Newagemusic.guide family this month is the service Newagemusic.link, which connects streaming music with a global community of fans. Even with a “silent” launch, the service delivered over 600 streaming sessions the first day it was online, thanks to releases such as David Buchs’ “Awakening” and James Asher’s “Nine Leaf Clover“. New albums are added each day, providing artists with clean, customizable link pages – and fans with social media-friendly links. Go ahead and find your next listen on .link:

The score is based on two factors; (1) The popularity of an artist’s tag on Newagemusic.guide, (2) the number of streams on Newagemusic.link and (3) the bumber of requests for songs from an album, to be played on New Age Stars/Live365.com.
