Weekend Showcase 3.43

We’re into the home stretch of 2017 with only about five weeks left in the music scene. Like Oscar season, the music only gets more dramatic and more soul crunching. The Weekend Showcase 3.43 edition features many of these great songs. Specifically, there are 53 songs on this week’s mega-playlist. The artists and band represent a record-breaking 21 countries. They include: Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the United States, Wales, and Zambia.

The playlist and tracklisting, as usual, follows the list of articles from the past week. The SoundCloud playlist has all 53 songs, but a Go account is needed to hear all of them. Meanwhile, the Spotify version has 49 songs.
