Your favourites (October 2018)
Great to see the width of your musical tastes, based on the Carte Blanche Music posts you viewed most in October. Virtually every genre pops up in your Top 10. This blog doesn’t discriminate by genre, so I’m happy to see we’re on the same page.
Looking more closely to your favourites, a few things are striking: a song that I recommended in July already (La Vague by DRMS & L’Isle), suddenly appeared among the most-read blogs last month, and continued the shine at #2 in October. It’s Alright by Nona, from that same month, was a fixture among your favourites in the last months, and still stands proudly at #8. On the other hand, two songs I only published this week (O by Arthur Adam and this week’s Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, Then It Comes To Me by The Proclaimers) amassed enough eyeballs in this short time frame to appear at #3 and #7 respectively.
All of your ten favourites, which you can also find in my constantly updated 2018 container playlist Carte Blanche Music, are below:
- Sophie & The Giants – Bulldog
- DRMS & L’Isle – La Vague
