CHR Nights / HAC Days Playlist

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)
 
Are you at 91.7 WEEM Todays hottest hits.. If so I get that station in my car?
 
Yes, that's us. We are still in a sort of positioning stage...it's hard to get RadioNow up here, but we need to be different enough to seperate ourselves in Fishers and similar areas that get us both. We lean adult/rock, while they seem to lean urban.

And, I'll admit, we run late on adds because I have to wait for buzz and chart-love. We just don't have any dollars for testing outside of the hallways of the school.
 
Your station is better than WLBC,, which leans very adult... I dont mind listening to 91.7.... WJEL 89.3 is a good cutting edge school station in INDY,,, but it probaby doesnt reach into your area... WJEL isnt CHR,, but its more of a variety of all hits,, POP,, Hip Hop, and Rock,,, Stuff thats not on the CHR charts,,, and WBDG is all Dance at night, and kinda Current Adult Jack Based by day....,,, Not sure what WEDM plays now,, and 91.3 in Carmel is Rock-Active Rock....
