A Note from Allen Kepler:
2024 has been a year like no other, with more new releases than ever before and a truly tight competitive race for the top spots on the year-end TOP 100 chart.
Our “Best Artist” winner, Kim Scott landed two tunes in the top 100 including the #12 song of the year “Like Butter”. Father and daughter, Kim and Kayla Waters both in our top 10 and our highest charting vocal track this year comes from Lindsey Webster. And, Breakout Artist Randy Scott also achieved a TOP 20 year-end hit!
As we move into 2025, I will personally celebrate my 40th year working in Smooth Jazz and I have never been more excited about the coming year.
Thank you to our sponsors and all of the artists for giving us another year of fantastic tunes! Special thanks to our BEATS editor, my daughter Shelbi Gerritsen for her amazing work and for interviewing me for this year’s edition!
