New Year’s Day countdown with SBS Chillest 100

SBS Chill is counting down the Chillest 100 songs to help everyone start 2023 in a relaxing way. Last time, the countdown featured Flight Facilities, Portishead, Tycho and more, and listeners can expect a similar stellar line up in 2023.

Following a recent listener vote the submissions were all tallied, and the votes are now in for the chillest songs of the year with SBS Chill ready to count them down on the first of January.

SBS Chill is the destination for downtempo, electronic, lo fi grooves, playing a breadth of artists from around the world and features unsigned DJs, producers and musicians.

“We’re excited to celebrate the new year with our listeners who have voted for their top songs – we’ll be counting down all 100 songs from noon on New Years’ Day,” said Rob Miller, Music Producer of SBS Chill.

SBS Chill’s most played songs were Wishes by Purrple Cat and The Impossible Silence by Eric Hilton. Other listener favourites were Air, Massive Attack and Groove Armada.

The line-up at SBS Chill is curated to be so relaxed even office workers and students can listen on a loop all day.

“Every year we’ve seen SBS Chill grow and we’ve had amazing feedback from listeners who listen all day while they work or study – teachers have even tuned in to encourage mindfulness in the classroom,” Miller said.

“It’s music that’s very easy to listen to and we’ve heard it’s been comforting to people and even pets who feel anxious, especially during COVID isolations.”

The SBS Chill playlist on Spotify – The Downtempo Chill – has more than 9,300 likes and is one of the most liked playlists in the genre.

SBS Chill will be counting down the Chillest 100 from noon to 8.30pm, New Years’ Day.

Listen to SBS Chill on DAB+ Radio, the SBS Radio App or on television on Channel 39 and 306.
