Another great episode of Top of the Week, many new tracks but it started off with some technical problems as some part of the audio chain running on Windows decided to not properly do its job and instead deliver a horrible experience for my listeners. After two kicks against various shins the show could then finally proceed… so if you had to suffer through multiple stream restarts and bad audio you should definitely listen to the while thing in pristine quality again:

Now, I have a day off on Friday because I need to do some stuff early in the morning but I thought that after that I could play the first Top of the Month show of this year… I’m really looking forward to that, it’s been quite a while since I played one of these and for various reasons I do enjoy them differently than the weekly shows. I have no idea whether I will be able to play further shows on Fridays or whether I will need to use the weekend though with no demoparties to go to I could probably take off one day each month… 😄

So, the next show is a Top of the Month and it’s on Friday, February 18th, 2022, 🕚 11:00 CET/UTC+1 (not a typo, 11 in the morning, where do you think the name “lunch trance” comes from?). The next Top of the Week show is going to be next Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022, 🕖 19:00 CET/UTC+1, as per usual.

One of my cats spent almost the whole show hogging the camera… the music is the more important part but nobody can say “no” to a cat, right?

Next show is probably going to be next Wednesday, February 16th, 2022, 🕖 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

First show of February, that means I could – should? – do another Top of the Month, maybe? I’ll think about it…

(Also, Tinlicker climbed back up to #30 again.)

Next show is probably going to be next Wednesday, February 9th, 2022, 🕖 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

+++ STOP +++ BREAKING NEWS +++ STOP +++ TINLICKER FIRMLY LODGED AT #35 +++ STOP

Next show is going to be next Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022, 🕖 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Quite some movement in the Top 10 this week, more than half of last week’s Top 10 was thrown out (#4 even dropped to #49!), two new entries in there (21 in total) and Tinlicker has dropped to #35! 😱

Next show is going to be next Wednesday, January 26th, 2022, 🕖 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

The year 2022 has finally started in this show, and after last week’s episode which saw very little activity (with only two (2) new entries) we have a huge bunch of new entries this week: more than half of the tracks are new entries! I think this is a first. 🙂

Next show is going to be next Wednesday, January 19th, 2022, 🕖 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Even though we are already in the new year (happy new year, everyone!) this episode is still about 2021 – the last week of 2021, to be precise, as that is the week these charts have been created from.

And I’m sure you’re all just burning to know what happened to Tinlicker’s version of Robert Miles’s “Children” this week and… well… it climbed another five places and is now firmly lodged in at #15!

Next show is going to be next Wednesday, January 12th, 2022, 🕖 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Haha, “Children’s” journey is apparently far from over, this week it has re-entered the top 20!

Next show is going to be next Wednesday, January 5th, 2022, 🕖 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Tinlicker’s “Children” has re-established itself firmly in the upper half of the show, dropping only a single place from #22 last week to #23 this week. When will it re-enter the top 20? Or the top 10? Maybe even the top 3? Oh my!

Next show is going to be next Wednesday, December 29th, 🕖 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Last week Tinlicker’s version of Robert Miles’s “Children” had dropped down to #45 and many of you (and me!) thought that that would have been the last of it. It would have had a great run, too, with 60 (!) weeks in this chart show, more than any other track ever (in my chart show)! So it gave me great pleasure to be able to play it again today, and at #22 no less! Over the past year the track has really grown on me so I am quite happy that I can keep playing it week after week. 😁

Next week there’s going to be another Top of the Week (the 22nd is a very normal Wednesday, after all) but I’m not yet quite sure what I’m gonna do for my birthday on Saturday… I’m currently leaning towards just playing EVE Online all day long but maybe I’ll do a surprise show? Well, how much of a surprise would it be if I told you about it beforehand? Not much, I guess…
