Comparing xmas playlists

Naturally, on a Christmas rotation, all three local xmas stations play fewer songs than normal. B98.5, which normally plays 300 songs, spun only 158 Christmas songs last week, according to Mediabase 24/7. Of those songs, 35 are exclusive to B98.5. Most spun songs were "Litte Saint Nick" by Beach Boys (39), "Last Chrismast" by Wham! (39), Ray Conniff's "Ring Christmas Bells" (38), "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano (38), "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney (38), Monica's "Grown Up Christmas List" (38), Atlantic Starr's "Silver Bells" (38) and Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas" (38).

Lite 94.9 plays the most, 407 different Christmas songs, about 230 exclusive to the station. Top songs: Brenda Lee's Rockin' (38), Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song" (38), Bobby Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock" (36), Burl Ives "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" (34), Andy Williams' "Most Wonderful Time of th e Year" (33), Carpenters' "Merry Christmas Darling" (32), Amy Grant's "Winter Wonderland" (30) and Bing Crosby's "It's Beginning to Look a Lot LIke Chrsimtas" (29)

The Fish spun 201 different Christmas songs. About half the songs are exclusive to the Fish, mostly by Christian artists, of course. Top songs are MercyMe's "Joseph's Lullaby" (44), Casting Crowns' "Away in a Manger" (42), Big Daddy Weave's "Go Tell It On the Mountain" (41), Chris Tomlin's "Angels We Have Heard on High" (41), Josh Grobin's "O Holy Night" (40), Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" (40) Burl Ives' "Have a HollY Jolly" 940) and "The Christmas Shoes" by NewSong.

As you can probably guess, the most heard Christmas song the past week is Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around." -- 139 spins. It was heard on seven different radio stations.

I'm tired of hearing the same Christmas (or even holiday) songs. There is so much more out there. Even some of the comedy stuff- Bob Rivers 12 Pains of Christmas, The Chimney Song, Grandma Got Run Over, even the Hannukah Song - no where to be found. At least the Fish plays some different artists.

Yeah, like these holiday favorites:
"The Christmas Song"-Korn
"Frosty The Snowman"-Uncrowned
"What If Eminem Did Jingle Bells"-Bob Rivers
"Chipmunks Roasting On An Open Fire"-Bob Rivers
"The Christmas Song"-David Banner
"Better Days"-Goo Goo Dolls

And others to add jingle bells to
"A Long December"-Coutning Crows
"Thug Holiday"-Trick Daddy
"December"-Collective Soul

I hope 99X, 100, 94 or one of those people come through come Saturday night, maybe not with all I mentioned, but with something different, something outrageous, because if I hear "All I Want For X-mas Is You" by Mariah Carey or that girl from "Love Actually" one more time, I will drill a hole in the top end Perimeter.

>One more artist to add :: Please?
This weekend I had a craving for a different spin on xmastime music, so I went in search of a old holiday tradition at my house when I was small, which was the spin of the vinyl of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass Christmas Album.
This album has a great variety of songs, and whats more is that they dont sound like all the other covers of the old familiars. Thank god for the re release of this on cd, try this on for size, what a great sound... <P ID="signature">______________
