Ministry Of Sound Chillout Sessions Classics

Product Information

Ministry of Sound started the series again in January 2006, with an album titled simply The Chillout Sessions (titled to reflect the fact that it was a reboot for the series). This album had good sales but there were no subsequent releases. Chillout Sessions is a series of compilations released by Ministry of Sound that focus on songs from the chillout genre. Songs on Chillout Sessions compilations vary in style from lounge to electronica and are released by many different artists. Chillout Sessions XVI is the sixteenth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound. Chillout Sessions XII is the twelfth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound. In Australia, the series has been a continued success from Volume 3 in 2002. In a different approach from the UK, the Australian series maintained the numbering system as a suffix in its titles, with only the "Best of..." style album Chillout Classics omitting a number from the title.

In 2007, Ministry of Sound launched a new series, Anthems, beginning with Anthems 1991–2008. It sold very well and it generated a spin-off album, Chilled 1991–2008. This was followed by a second volume in 2009, a third (suited to acoustic chill-out music) in 2010 and a fourth ( Chilled Afterhours, similar to the label's Late Night Sessions albums) in 2011. 2011 was also the year that Ministry of Sound launched its large-scale campaign 20:20, to celebrate 20 years of The Ministry of Sound as a club. One of the associated releases was the box set XX Twenty Years, each disc made up of a different dance genre; the final disc in the box set was Chillout Sessions. Around the same time, Anthems Collection was released, with five discs, each from a different genre, the final one being Anthems Chilled. The front cover uses the same image that the UK release The Chillout Session 2003: Winter Collection does. The Chillout Sessions 3 is the third installment in the series and was released on 30 September 2002. It was the first album to be released in Australia only, and the first to use the name 'Sessions' in the title instead of simply 'Session' Chillout Sessions 8 is the eighth installment in the Chillout Sessions series, released by Ministry of Sound. Since 2018, Ministry of Sound exclusively moved their Playlists to Apple Music. Many of their well known compilation brands such as Anthems, Fitness, I Love and Chilled have moved to a Playlist format, which accounts for the limited releases of non-streamable Chilled Compilation albums. A notable example is the Chilled House Session series that ran from 2009 to its final release in 2019 (Chilled House Session 9) and is now an exclusive Playlist on Apple Music.Chillout Sessions 10 is the tenth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound. A similar series started in Australia, where the series changed its name from The Chillout Session to The Chillout Sessions and then simply to Chillout Sessions and continued until 2016 with XIX until the record label rebranded to TMRW following the acquisition of MoS by Sony in the UK. contains a sample of "God Bless The Child" performed by Billy Holiday used courtesy of MCA Records under license from Universal Music Special Markets, Inc.'. Chillout Sessions XIV is the fourteenth instalment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound. Chillout Sessions XIX is the nineteenth installment of the Chillout Sessions series of compilations, released by Ministry of Sound.

The Chillout genre of compilations started in the UK and since 2003 Ministry of Sound has released them under different tropes such as "Chilled", "After Hours", "The Morning After..." which has shown MOS to have seemingly ended its branding of the genre as Chillout Sessions. Following the numbered releases (volumes 1 and 2) and both the Ibiza... releases, the albums were themed to seasons, starting with The Winter Collection 2003 (actually released in late 2002, as the sort of style Chillout Annual 2003). The Summer 2003 edition reached #10 in the UK Compilations Chart. A third Ibiza... edition, Ibiza Sunsets, was released shortly afterwards. This series, despite sales success, was suspended in favour of other Ministry of Sound albums in 2003. Its final album The Very Best of the Chillout Sessions was released in late 2003, but did not sell well and until 2011 was the worst-selling album in the series. Fifth in the series, Chillout Sessions 5 is a two-disc compilation of songs by various artists that was released in 2004. Its front cover uses the same image that the UK release The Very Best of the Chillout Session does. The image is also similar to that used on the front cover of Chillout Classics. The Chillout Session is the first compilation in the series and was released on 5 February 2001 in the United Kingdom and Australia. Its cover image is used again for The Chillout Guide later in the year. Its cover image was actually first used in 1998 in the booklet of The Annual IV and later as the cover for the Ministry of Sound book The Manual.The fourth installment album in the series was released in May 2011, Chilled Afterhours. It is an album designed for "after hours" playing.
