The smoothest countdown in America is back with another powerhouse edition of the Weekend Smooth Jazz Countdown, recorded at the KUNV studios on the campus of UNLV and hosted by Pamela Black.

This week’s chart reflects serious momentum across the format, with strong climbs, steady holds, and breakout moves from some of the biggest names in contemporary jazz.

Landing at Number One once again is keyboardist Kayla Waters with the chart-topping hit “Lush.” Raised in Los Angeles and classically trained at Howard University, Waters continues her Billboard dominance with a sound rooted in jazz, fusion, and soul.

At Number Two, saxophonist Vincent Ingala surges with “That Familiar Feeling,” while Grammy-recognized powerhouse Mindy Abair holds strong at Number Three with “Nouveau Soul.”

The Top 10 also features:

• Third Force with “Onward and Upward”
• Regina Whiteside and her four-week groove “Fancy Footwork”
• Rick Braun delivering “Give It All You Got”
• Jeff Ryan, Althea Renee, Julian Vaughn, and more

This week’s Headlining Artist spotlight shines on trumpeter Lynn Roundtree, while the Vintage Smooth feature celebrates the feel-good jazz-funk legacy of Fatburger with their upbeat rendition of “Groovin’.”

You’ll also hear chart movement from:
Jordan Love, Blair Bryant, Nicholas Cole, Paul Taylor, Brian Simpson, Ryan LaValette, Dr. Adam Hawley, Deepak Thettu, Byron Miller, Richard Elliot, and more.
