Surprises on the New Age Music Chart for June

1023

On the New Age Music Chart (NAMC) for June, Enya’s “Dark Sky Island” is no longer number 1. Three very popular albums were released over the last month, and Enya is now “only” number 4 on the chart. The newcomers are Darlene Koldenhoven, Curtis Macdonald and Loreena McKennitt. 

Darlene Koldenhoven’s new instrumental album “Chromatones” is already a huge success. She set a new record for number of votes from our readers and listeners. In June we also saw the successful release of a new Curtis Macdonald “best of” album, which is always popular among New Age music fans. Further down on the list we find Kevin Wood’s new album “Eternal”. This is an album to follow in the coming months.

Without further ado, here’s the chart for June 2018:
