Hit Party Web Radio is based out of France, and as you might guess, it's not just a hit parade... it's a hit party. And there's a difference. All it takes is a few minutes of listening to Hit Party to realize that it's not your typical Top 40 bubblegum radio fare. Some of the expected guests are there, the same ones you'll see on most charts around the globe. But they're also a bit... different--probably because a lot of them are mashed up and twisted with other songs, or just have that extra element of Euro-chic that tends to evade the rest of the world. What's also cool about the Hit Party is its website, which allows you to see the last 5 songs played, and if you missed something, or if you heard an artist but you wanna know more, Hit Party will link you directly to the YouTube clip of that particular song. It's a subtle, but exceedingly useful feature that'll help satisfy all those extra curious listeners out there.
You can find Hit Party in the Pop genre of the SHOUTcast Radio Directory.
We needed to let loose a little, so we called up some well-connected friends and waltzed into the Hit Party. Check out what was served to us:
