It has been a great musical year in 2025. Celebrations of the new and returning heroes. Less joyful for the world. Hard to believe what is happening in the States. As a student of history, hard to believe what is going on in the States. I thought that we had seen the end of the divide and conquer nonsense. But the cult continues unabated and threatens to happen here too.
2026 will be a quiet celebratory year for I Don't Hear A Single. It is our 10th Anniversary year, I never felt this would go on so long and get so big. Amazingly, we will hit 3 million hits in the early part of the year. The gobsmacking thing is that the third million will have been attained in around 8 months. A real reaction to those who were saying all new music is crap in 2016.
There'll be a few more 2025 Reviews, not too many, whilst we knuckle down to the Best 100 Albums Of 2025 which will begin around 8 January. Due to the volume reviewed, there will also be a Best EP version this year. Listening To This Week continues onward, it hasn't missed the removal of Spotify after its trial. Quite the reverse.
It only leaves me to wish you all a prosperous 2026 and thank you for your continued support. The loyalty to this place is purely heart warming.
