electroboy73

.........ESPECIALLY WWWQ (Q-100) - Atlanta!

PLEASE...PLEASE...STOP...PLAYING..."I'M YOURS"...BY...JASON...MRAZ!!
FOR THE LOVE OF @#>*!....PLEASE!!

Any others on your local station, feel free to chime in.

:)
 
FORGOT TO MENTION IN MY FIRST POST, (above) that all the songs I'm looking for are out there are R-E-C-U-R-R-E-N-T-S!! Those annoying little songs that are not only 2 or more years old but, they are pretty much played out (even on some AC stations)! YET, THESE SONGS STILL GET SO MUCH AIRPLAY on your mainstream/CHR station! I know we need them, I know why they exsist but some are still played WAY TOO MUCH! (on mainstream CHR's)

Here's another one......
COLDPLAY "Viva La Vida"

What's your CHR station STILL HOLDING ONTO??
 
Q100 is actually an Adult CHR, so you will mainly see songs like "Viva La Vida" and Jason Mraz on any adult CHRs like Q.
 
I don't hear too much Jason Mraz here in Az. Although we do have a station (KZON) similar to WBTS. However, they instead play Orianthi with the rhythmic hits. No Jason Mraz.

As a matter of fact, I even hear much more Cascada & La Roux in Phoenix top 40 (KZZP) than I do Jason Mraz.

Viva la vida tends to play mostly on the AC station(s) that lean pop/rock & alternative.
 
Add 104.3 WZYP Huntsville to this list as well. I wish they would quit playing so many recurrents in an hour during the daytime.

And what do Q100 and ZYP have in common? Both Cumulus-owned, both under the direction of Jan Jeffries who looooves that Hot AC stuff.
 
ZYP has leaned adult for years, so that's nothing new.

"I'm Yours" probably tests well with those stations, which is why they play it. Given how much Cumulus' playlists are quite corporatized, you could question how much research actually goes into it.
 
I'm sure it still tests which is why they still play it so much. Adult CHRs can be recurrent heavy and do very well. We do share personal tastes however. I never need to hear "I'm Yours" again.
 
According to Mediabase, I'm Yours had 3 spins over the last 7 days and Viva La Vida received 4 spins during the same time period on NYC's Z100 (yeah, I have no other life). I would have to assume they're doing callout or other testing and their research tells them these songs still have life. But by the number of spins on Z100,they are gold or power golds.
 
Those are both good songs, whats wrong with having them as recurents, I wouldnt play them more than once or twice a week though.
