| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Some subtle surprises and some obvious movers and shakers here this month. Songs to drop out of my Top 25 for the month of September are:

Madonna - Give It To Me
Ono - Give Peace A Chance
Justin Lanning - Take My Breath Away
Michelle Williams - We Break The Dawn
The Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up
Blake Lewis - How Many Words
Hercules & Love Affair - Blind
E.G. Daily - Beautiful
Craig David - Hot Stuff (Let's Dance)
Evelyn "Champagne" King - The Dance

As in my previous entry for the month, I have implemented a new system to indicate hot and cold songs:

Yellow indicates a song that had the best performance for the month alone a.k.a. the highest debut.
Red indicates a song that had the highest jump in the charts.
Blue indicates a song that had the highest drop in the charts.

...and here is the chart for September!

Just announced today, Second Life's beloved premiere gay dance club, DEVILinside, is closing its doors. I had the pleasure of DJ'ing at this fine establishment many, many times over the past 12 months or so. It tears my heart to pieces to see the club go.

Thank you, Ayor, Luca and all other DEVILinside staff and patrons for providing a great experience.
