| The first Indie Top 40! |
 | The Indie Top 40 for 19th November 08
This the first Top 40 for the new Indie stream with John Martyn taking the top slot with Spencer the Rover. There are some great tracks in the playlist, so if you haven't tuned in yet, give it a go. A lot of new music has recently been added to the Indie stream so I'd expect some big changes in the Top 40 over the coming months. The position is based upon activity over the last 30 days and takes into account the number of votes and the rating given by listeners. This gives an overall score which determines the position.

| British Folk Top 40 out! |
 | The Celtic/British Folk Top 40 for 19th November 08

| Mind-blowing Harpist! |
 | Ailie Robertson - First Things First
This is an incredible debut solo from Ailie Robertson. Her credentials are astounding for a young musician of 24 years. I really struggled to find enough words to put across my praise for this magnificent debut. It's moving, beautiful and totally original. It is a masterful album that combines Irish and Scottish influence as well as an undeniably clever contemporary twist. Ailie shows that the Celtic harp can be just as at home with guitar, bass, percussion and piano as it can be as a solo instrument. This album will take you to places you have never been before, quite simply it is mind-blowing!
