Funny that these posters mention WNFN/Nashville, given that its Rhythmic lean might have to do with WPRT's flip to Adult Top 40 recently.

CUMULUS keeps ignoring "Super Bass" !

Not sure Cumulus wants to sacrifice the at-work crowd (on Q100) to Star 94, especially with Star exploding in ratings like it is
WNFN in Nashville, Tenn. could almost be a CHR/Rhythmic with a urban lean. Just drop the Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears. Also one song they played today seems out of place "TLC - No Scrubs" that song was from the late '90s. Surprised to be able to find this stations playlist on yes.com as most cumulus stations aren't.

The station definitely leans Rhythmic (as in playing the biggest records on the CHR/Rhythm chart) but they also play One Republic, Hot Chelle Rae, Adele, Pink, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, etc.
So is there any reason Jan Jeffries might be upset at Young Money Entertainment? (Assuming that's what label Nicki Minaj is still on...)
CHRles said:The Billy Bush CHR nights sound of the Cumulus stations is what they should be sounding like in afternoons. During nights they should be even more Current based and more fun! Think Open House Party, Jackson Blue, Club Kane, any of those types of shows.
Nights need to be hyped up, interactive, and are the time of day to play all the hottest new releases, and all the big hits on Itunes, Youtube, Billboard Hot 100, and CHR/Pop chart that relate to the CHR audience.
Unfortunately Cumulus doesn't deliver on that. They are, however, lucky to have some good morning shows in Atlanta and Houston as well as in some of their smaller markets.
Agree. In Harrisburg, Cumulus actually runs Billy Bush on Hot AC WNNK where he sounds much more appropriate. Meanwhile, CHR WWKL is jockless/automated. Pathetic!
Super Bass is no1 on Rhythmic and no6 on CHR and CUMULUS Rhythmic channels like KVYB in CA and WLTO in Lexington just added it! So WQSM which is on the HOT AC panel added it before the Rhythmic channels! What a ****ed up company! No sign of the song yet on q100, KRBE and the rest CUMULUS channels on the top40 panel.
I've decided to do it again! The "Super Bass to Atlanta, Journey to Utah" Walk!
For those of you who have missed it the first time, around December 27, 2010, I announced to everyone that if Q100 Atlanta ever played "stereo love" by Edward Maya, I would walk from South Phoenix, Az. to Utah. It was called my "Stereo Love to Atlanta, Journey to Utah". I am willing to do this again - IF "super bass" is ever played in regular rotation in Atlanta (but this time, wearing clothes!)!
The "Super Bass to Atlanta, Journey to Utah" Walk!
The challenge is on as of Thursday, if "super bass" is never played in between now and then.

Did you ever make that walk, cause they've definitely played it!
Does anyone think the Cumulus CHR's will ever play "Super Bass"?
Also what other rhythmic songs haven't the Cumulus CHR's played before?

They may have played the following in a few markets, but Jan Jeffires ignored for the most part, the following songs that have charted in the Top 20 over the past few months:
Both Black & Yellow and Roll Up
Hello
Backseat
I Need A Doctor
Bow Chick A Wow Wow
Dirty Dancer
Moment 4 Life
Where Them Girls At

Yes. But I posted about it in the dance section. I did a live documentary of the walk, too.. the documentary includes everything from the 4 dogs that chased me to the icy weather conditions and the interactions with police who weren't too fond of me walking nude on an express way because a song was played somewhere... The "Stereo Love to Atlanta, Journey to Utah" walk was December 27 - January 1st. I'll post the link to the live footage, soon.

Both Black & Yellow (per Mediabase peaked at #17) and Roll Up (peaked at 15)
Hello (Peaked at 18)
Backseat (Peaked at 17)
I Need A Doctor (Peaked at 18)
Bow Chick A Wow Wow (Peaked at 21)
Dirty Dancer (Peaked at 19)
Moment 4 Life (Peaked at 19)
Where Them Girls At (Peaked at 17 but is still gaining spins)

I included the peak positions according to the Mediabase numbers published in USA Today for CHR/Pop to support my original statement to show I wasn't just pulling stuff out of thin air. All but one song made the Top 20, and the one that didn't, barely missed.
^Sorry, man - For me, I'm not sure those are the best examples, though, since a significant number of stations (nationwide) skipped out on a lot of those, and they just barely scraped the Top 20 - I'm not sure it'd be the best idea for an adult-leaning CHR to have played Black & Yellow, Back Seat, I Need A Doctor, etc.
Not playing Super Bass, Empire State Of Mind, or Shake It is pretty significant though IMO

Empire State of Mind is played on Q100 now. It's a recurrent, with play amounts similar to the amount of spins "beautiful" or "right now (na na na)" by Akon are currently receiving. I believe they also have Tupac in midday recurrent rotation.
Not sure why "I need a doctor" never made it when "No love" did.

Are you sure you have the right station, man? I don't hear any of those songs/artists on Q100 middays or evenings...it's basically adult-leaning CHR 24/7 (except Saturday night dance mixes)
I'm sure it has happened... more than once. Maybe it stopped now, but I doubt it because it doesn't seem like they mess around with or change up their recurrents.

Q100 did a major overhaul (currents and recurrents) a couple months ago - as of now, you're not gonna hear any of those songs as recurrents - they're adult-leaning CHR, through and through
