Give me some thoughts on this currents list (we have quite a few because we cater to parents during the day and students from 3pm through 2am. We are a high school, student run station. I still do most of the programming with student support and "hallway" support.
A's (remember we have so many because of CHR + HAC)
All-American Rejects - kids love it
Fray - good, generic fray-rock
Kelly Clarkson - its kelly being kelly (btw, the rock version by Afrocentrixxx might catch on if given an opportunity...and we may do that soon)
Pink - adult mostly, i think hs kids are sick of her now after 4 huge hits in a few years (I could be wrong)
Lady Gaga (Just Dance) - still doing very well here
Taylor Swift - resent resurg, maybe prom season?
Lady Gaga (Poker Face)
Britney Spears - getting serious burn
Shinedown - probably should be in a class of its own here
Flo Rida - I don't add hip hop very often, but this is more a dance track
B's
Nickelback (Gotta Be...)- daytime spins mostly
Miley Cyrus - all the hs girls love it (even if they dont admit it)
Beyonce (Single Ladies) - getting old quickly
Plain WHite T's - doing suprisingly well with the hs crowd
David Cook - daytime only for the most
Mraz & Caillat - perfect prom song, probably will bump to A
Black Eyed Peas - every hs girl loves Fergie
Katy Perry (Hot N Cold) - it needs to die faster
Jesse McCartney - good, and I added the Ludacris version
Akon - eh...dancy
Theory of a Deadman - catching on with hs kids
Katy Perry (Thinking...) - bad bad song, starting to fade here already with adults
U2 (Magnificent) - daytime only
O.A.R. (shattered) - daytime B, nights on hold for now...will be gold
Lily Allen - very catchy and working well on all dayparts
C's
Kanye West (heartless) - not very good to me, but someone likes it
Daughtry (what about now) - daytime only
Ciara (love sex magic) - JT & ciara popular with HS kids
Natasha Bedingfield (soulmate) - again, prom season
Britney Spears (if U seek Amy) - never thought I would see this resurgence
Veronicas - still popular here
Eric Hutchinson - adults love it and kids are fine with it
Carolina Liar - adults like it and kids are fine with this one too
O.A.R. (this town) - this is definately not the gold that shattered will be
Nickelback (If Today...) - Will swap with Gotta Be next week prob
Kings of Leon (use somebody) - coming up quickly here
White Tie Affair - can't go wrong with some techo/rock or whatever it's called
Leona Lewis (I will be) - Mariah who?
Script - I'm not hot on it, but i decided to try it out and haven't heard much
Erin McCarley - daytime only
Hoobastank - daytime spins about 3x more than nights
Offspring (kristy) - doing suprisingly well with both adults and kids
Matt Nathanson (Come On) - second time around for this song...we'll try it at night now
Depeche Mode - daytime mostly
Killers (Spaceman) - lightest current
we tend to like to try the rock stuff, recent songs that have been played in a semi-current:
Pearl Jam (didn't do well)
Papa Roach (everyone is apathetic here)
Airborne Toxic Event (I though it would do great, I missed)
Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire (now recurrent, did well with both adults and kids)
Saving Abel - 18 days (I think everyone was burnt out on Addicted)
Incubus - Love Hurts (did very well for about a month, then burned)
Paramore - Decode (jumped on this one very late, and the students were past it by then)
Tracks on my watch list:
Ting Tings (i love it)
3OH!3 (not too hot on this)
Secondhand Serenade
Kelly Clarkson (I do not hook up)
Seether
We The Kings
Offspring (you're gonna)
