Smooth Soul Top 10 (Friday, November 21st):

Once again, we're seeing much love for the classic soul sound. Our classic soul hits extended music session ran a couple Saturdays and has consistently rated high enough to be added to regular rotation. Currently ranked a 9.7, it's strong enough to run again with the countdown. We also had some new additions debut in the top 10. Cool. DJ Spinna at number 1. 2 Men 4 Soul at number 4. Even some R. Kelly. From there, more of the typical variety that makes our station truly unique rounds off another countdown. For any questions or comments regarding our top 10, please contact us at smooth rotations.
