Sunday Spotlight on Break

The Sunday Spotlight will take an early winter's break to make way for the hottest hits of the past three months, Hits of Autumn 2020 next Sunday. It's a long weekend this weekend in NSW so I will post something fit for a Queen, LOL. Get it?

June is also 90's month! The 90's were awesome so much good music. So Sundays I will feature a number of 90's features in place of the regular Sunday Spotlight. We are all craving nostalgia right now. Triple J's recent Requestival highlighted that.

So until tomorrow with the first Fresh Friday Countdown of Winter, here is to the 90's! What a decade!
