Love the Breeze.
Thatâs a great set of quality music.
Thatâs why theyâre a great station to listen to for their variety of music ![]()
I could not agree more.
Absolutely love that Keane song. I havenât heard that song on Australian radio for years.
âLittle Jeannieâ by Elton John is a great song of his that other stations ignore ![]()
it gets played a bit on Smooth Perth

Hereâs few things to deal here: Old-time style radio programming style still lingers somewhat even in the most commercial-ish radio network like 91fm in Vietnam. I have heard several instance where they just simply take the songs from Youtube and played it out, and in a few cases it caused end credit voiceover could be even heard uncut. They do have own music library, but because most of the programming are under presentersâ autonomy, so often they would pick songs from Youtube and import to the networkâs music library. Thatâs why the log above may look a bit strange to you.
91fm doesnât record the log, so I have to manually record the log with the help of Shazam add-on on Chrome (tbh, Shazam on my phone is having some problems that they couldnât identify any song - doesnât know why). Also, they would never advertise themselves as âVietnamâs best music mixâ or something, but rather âInformation on every kilometersâ, which make it even more odd to your ears. This is because the network was initially all-traffic service, and still primarily carry traffic infromation (especially during high peak time, but entertainment programming would fill the rest), and the music choice above is because theyâre targeting the broad demographics of âcar driversâ, which, in Vietnam, are primarily young adults to middle-aged.
The variety on Breeze just canât be beat - for a commercial station at least. And it all just flows - new and old songs.

The Nostalgic Songs (Music of the forgotten era)
How to read: Original song name in English (original singer, excluded if itâs unknown) - Song name in Vietnamese, excluded if thereâs no name (singer in Vietnamese)
We Donât Need Another Hero (Tina Turner) - (BáșŁo Yáșżn)
Saving All My Love For You (Whitney Houston) - TĂŹnh Em Trao Anh (NhĂŁ PhÆ°ÆĄng)
Kokoro No Tomoto - TáșĄm biá»t tĂŹnh yĂȘu (NhĂŁ PhÆ°ÆĄng)
Papa (Paul Anka) - (Há»ng Nhung)
You Shot A Hole In My Soul (C.C. Catch) - (Thanh Lam) (cut from a long medley/mashup of songs - therefore itâs only a minute long)
Lâaventura - LĂŁng du (Thanh Lam)
The Shadow Of You Smile - BĂłng DĂĄng NỄ Cưá»i (Thu HĂ )
A long rant/note: I typically donât compile logs during this program because the program mostly consists of obscure Vietnamese songs (which is why I write âmusic of the forgotten eraâ next to the program name). However, I decided to log the âplaylistâ this time because the episode on that night is all about âforeign music with Vietnamese lyricsâ. Due to the historical reasons, foreign music was quite hard to be âimportedâ to Vietnam, so the music industry has created an âintermediateâ by re-using foreign melodies/songs but has Vietnamese lyrics. One of two presenters of The Nostalgic Songs, Minh Äức, said that this was how many people - including himself - got access to the âforeignâ music when they were young. The words from him really melt my heart: Right now itâs so easy to get access to the âoriginalâ versions of foreign songs in real quick, when you have the smartphone, so you guys may feel ânormalâ, but when rewinding to back in the day, itâs very precious because if itâs not listening to radio, then you guys have to go to a tape store that may took a time to get a tape you want. Many older people, because they had been exposed to the âVietnamese lyricsâ version of these songs, are still prefer that version, even if they may have heard the âoriginalâ version so many times. That is, in his word, being extreme in a cute way.
For me, thatâs truly The Nostalgic Songs - where music from the forgotten era really alive again. (an ally of The Breeze AU, I think?) @myfriend

Hay all, this is a bit of an answer program to what I played a few weeks ago, the early 80s euro pop mix. My friend always mentions that my music taste is a bit of a slouch, not much rock. Well, just for some fun, Iâve pulled together a list of some of the best rock epics I could dig up from our master list. I know they are many Iâve missed, it would make the program go for over ten hours plus.
:). So in some form of a way, this is a âbest of the best of rockâ pick from my own personal collection. Hope youâll enjoy.
Program starts off at 17:00 Sydney time on the fresh mix dot com, and will go for approximately three and a half hours, hope you can stick around.

Some interesting observations from this two-hour block:
- two Taylor Swift songs were played on either side of â10:35â by Tiesto/Tate McRae.
- two Sigala songs were played back-to-back immediately after âAnti-Heroâ.
- three Mimi Webb songs were played, including two nearly book-ending the first block, and another at the end of the second.
Thatâs one of the best regional CHR logs IMO. Power FM also has a good log especially on weekends.
Thatâs one of the best regional CHR logs IMO. Power FM also has a good log especially on weekends.
I have noticed that Eagle / Snow are now playing more alternative music in their playlist lists now.
It is a the best regional CHR log in Australia.
I think Gazza Warne is the music director for both Snow / Eagle and XL / GN fm.
The CHR example in the logs I provided is an example of what metro stations should be playing. More newer music, less throwbacks.
Just a short note to invite everyone to tune into the fresh mix dot com tonight from 19:00 hrs Sydney time, as weâll be counting down the top 30 singles from this week in October 1980. ![]()
