Armin van Buuren’s A State Of Trance Year Mix 2015 (Armada Music) compilation is out now. The live worldwide broadcast of the A State Of Trance Year Mix 2015 is expected to draw all 37 million listeners on December 31st.

First broadcast in 2001, the ‘A State Of Trance’ radio show is the longest-running weekly radio program devoted to the finest in electronic dance music (EDM). The ASOT radio show format has been widely imitated over the years and a feature of the touring ASOT live events is that the performances are broadcast in real-time from professional radio studios custom-built onsite. In the weeks leading up to the compilation’s release, van Buuren enlisted the feedback of his listeners and encouraged them to vote on their favorite tracks of 2015; the result is 105 of the year’s most important trance tunes expertly mixed into a two-hour release. The ASOT Year Mix 2015 is the 12th in a series. The latest release captures van Buuren’s enduring ability to launch careers and uncover the best new music as no other radio DJ can.

Said Armin van Buuren, “The A State Of Trance Year Mix has become a yearly tradition since 2004. As a kid, I was always a big fan of these mega mixes, so every year, I ask the fans of the show to vote for their favorite tracks of the year. All of those votes combined give me a good overview of what the hot tracks were that year, and I blend in a few of my own favorites that were big at festivals, as well. Since a couple of years, I also decided to do a little skit at the beginning of the year mix, which shouldn’t be taken too seriously and should make you laugh a little.”

"Shéfani" - Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton Honored with Love Scent for Christmas

Just after former No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani admitted her love to her fellow "The Voice" coach, Blake Shelton, in an interview, the couple received a scented proof of love. Hollywood Today Live and the manufacturer UNIQUE Fragrance have now surprised the two in Los Angeles with a custom blended love-fragrance for Christmas. The perfume is named "SHÉFANI", a combination of Shelton and Stefani.

The task was to developed a unisex fragrance that could be worn by both Gwen Stefani as well as Blake Shelton. UNIQUE Fragrance expert Julie Dubois and her team decided to create a sparkling fresh scent. It should unite the characteristics of both, but at the same time leave enough room for self-fulfillment. UNIQUE Fragrance describes this one-of-a-kind unisex perfume: "The fresh unisex fragrance contains citrusy notes of Calabrian bergamot which is reminiscent of Gwen's Italian roots. They are harmonically combined with a touch of musk and cedar wood, appropriate for Blake's powerful musical home town of Nashville."

Ross Mathews explains how the mysterious fragrance came to be on Hollywood Today Live, watch below:

We've been obsessed with Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani - aka Shefani - as a couple, but Shefani sounds like a fragrance name. SO we made our own! Find out more information at hollywoodtodaylive.com Be part of the conversation!

Watch for a couple of her famous friends like Sharon Osbourne and Julie Chen who help spread the holiday cheer by singing along with her. Even Patty's famous pro-tennis hubby, John McEnroe makes a cameo appearance. And looking sharp in a suit and tie.

In Broken, Patty Smyth pays tribute to our Veterans. It's a beautiful song and touching video.
