102.9 evolving back to a chr direction?

Just heard "Suit and Tie" and they kept the Jay-Z rap in the song..

Why not, CHR is riding high.

It's on the Hot AC charts. KBIG in LA is playing it alot

One poster here asked "Why not? CHR is riding high."

I have a one word reason, and I think it's a pretty good reason:

"Kiss!"

That's odd. I heard this over the weekend and it did not have Jay Z. Hmmm

This song is actually "hottest" on UAC, atleast locally. Hear it all the time on K104 and KBFB. Good for JT with the crossover.

I'm not sure if Hot AC KYIS (98.9 KISS FM) in OKC plays "Shoe & Tie" by Justin Timberlake yet, but I believe they may already have, but their competitor AC KMGL (Magic 104.1) spun it hard like crazy, recently, like it's an AC hit already, except they're playing the version without the Jay-Z rap though since it's on AC anyways.

Yet, KMGL ironically plays a hell lot more 70's and 80's music even though they're already hitting on currents like "Shoe & Tie" that haven't even became an AC hit yet! If you compare AC KMGL to the AC in our market, KVIL, which only does 90's, 2K, and Today by now and, ironically, they still haven't got to "Shoe & Tie" by Justin Timberlake yet!

"Suit & Tie" is currently at 27 on the AC and 11 with no bullet on the Hot AC chart. How big of a hit is it? Aren't they already off it and pushing "Mirrors"?

Must have been removed cause I don't see it on their playlist. Either way it wouldn't surprise me. Down the road in SA, Magic has this song and several Dance Hits on rotation. And yes, Magic 105.3 is listed as Hot AC, similar to 102.9.
