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.
