Just like Hey Soul Sister and Need You Now didn't hit #1 due to blatant politics (Rhythmic stations reporting to CHR for advertising revenue purposes) - it's not fair, but I'm used to it
Was "Need You Now" a candidate to go all the way to number one on CHR/Pop? I also definitely remember almost all of the Rhythmic leaning CHR/Pop stations playing "Hey Soul Sister".
Yeah, they both hit #1 on ITunes, rocketed up the CHR chart, but ground to a halt at #3 because 10-15 pseudo-Rhythmic stations wouldn't add them
And lol about a Rob Thomas remix for Super Bass ;D
Its funny that those of us who are on and obviously chart nerds are arguing the politics behind keeping songs from reaching #1. Yes, its definitely unfair that songs like "Need You Now" didn't reach #1 at CHR because they were such massive hits and in Lady Antebellum's case, it actually won Record of the Year at the Grammys. Still, I imagine almost no one outside of these boards doesn't see these songs as anything other than the monster hits they truly were.
Yeah, agreed - I'd think what matters financially is total airplay and sales over the course of time - even if The Script and Edward Maya were "cheated" out of the Top 10 because power rotations were so staggered among stations, I don't think the average radio listener would even notice - and same with songs hitting #3 vs. #1, as long as they heard the song a lot in their market
This is true, Hot 99.5 in DC had She Wolf by Shakira in power rotation for an extremely long time. Many people are shocked here that it wasnt a number one hit on the Pop chart, and the first thing they say is "I heard it on the radio all the time!"
carolinaradio said:I guess my complaint is that the station I'm referring to still plays "Forget You" (I never want to hear that song again!) or "Written In The Stars" more, or maybe just as often, as something like "The Edge Of Glory" or "Party Rock Anthem", both of which are current, big hits. It doesn't really make sense, but like I said, who am I to gripe...they do well.the marv said:For those who complain about recurrents. I'd rather here those every once in a while than the same song every 1 and a half hours. I haven"t heard Super Bass yet probably because the CHR here in Columbus,Ohio plays the same tune every 1.5 hours.
I have noticed this too with Cumulus stations. They keep songs in power rotation way after most stations have moved them into recurrent category. That means songs that are 1-2 years old are played almost as often as currents. I lived in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and KBBQ (a Cumulus rhythmic) played "Party Like A Rock Star" at least every 2 hours well into 2008. The song peaked in the summer of 2007 and most CHR stations were moving it into the recurrent category by that fall.
It looks like Cumulus is also playing "Lighters" on Q100, but still no "Super Bass." Odd.
carolinaradio said:It looks like Cumulus is also playing "Lighters" on Q100, but still no "Super Bass." Odd.
Anything that is remotely slow, ballad-ish, gets first priority at Cumulus. How else do you explain the fact that Cumulus CHRs are playing Lil Wayne's "How To Love" but not "Super Bass".
And yet, there are currently 6 stations on the Hot A/C panel playing "Super Bass", although I consider some of them to be CHR/Pop stations.

^I feel like WPST will eventually get moved back to the CHR panel (since this evolution back to CHR is relatively recent) - the other two belong on the CHR panel, but I feel like CBS doesn't want them moved
The first two straddle the line between hot AC and CHR. Star 100.7, OTOH, is CHR. Having Wiz Khalifa and Lupe Fiasco on the list qualifies as CHR to me.
^Looking at those again, everything Mix 106.5 and PST is playing is charting or did chart on CHR - if there were some Hot AC-exclusive tracks on those playlists, I'd say they were "straddling the fence" between the two formats, but since their entire playlist comes from the pop chart, I'd say all three of those should be reporting to CHR
the golden boy said:The first two straddle the line between hot AC and CHR. Star 100.7, OTOH, is CHR. Having Wiz Khalifa and Lupe Fiasco on the list qualifies as CHR to me.
Mix 106.5 also plays Lupe Fiasco - he's number 11 on the station.
I believe PST also plays Lupe, albeit in light rotation.
^It looks like Cumulus is slightly switching up the adds for various stations -
Q100 added Rihanna, Gym Class Heroes, and The Script this past week (no David Guetta)
KRBE added David Guetta, Rihanna, GCH, and The Script
I93 and WNFN added David Guetta, Rihanna, and GCH (no Script)
Kansas City added David Guetta, GCH, and The Script (no Rihanna)
Most of the small market stations are following the Q100 model, except for Pensacola and Harrisburg, which had no adds this week

Great to hear this! Although I don't care for Super Bass, props to Cumulus/Dallas for adding it, as there was no reason to ignore it. Maybe Cumulus is finally waking up and letting the stations have more local input. Maybe they won't ruin the Citadel stations they're about to get...
WNFN seems to be a little more rhythmic friendly lately. Is it just me, or is Q100 more gold/recurrent based than the other Cumulus CHR's?
Well, something must be up at WNFN, given that the station is being spun off soon. I wouldn't be surprised if they go Rhythmic down the road.
Well, I guess WNFN is the only true "mainstream" CHR in the market, since WRVW is pretty adult leaning.
carolinaradio said:Well, I guess WNFN is the only true "mainstream" CHR in the market, since WRVW is pretty adult leaning.
???
WRVW is about as "mainstream" as you can get (except for Maroon 5 in power rotation, it pretty much mirrors the CHR chart)
WNFN leans Rhythmic - I had no clue until I looked it up, but they're playing tracks from the Rhythmic chart that are just starting to get airplay on CHR - Cumulus is definitely breaking the mold here - Good for them!!!
Based on i93 in Dallas finally adding it, looks like Super Bass is (slowly) creeping into rotation on Cumulus CHR stations. Even if it's just one station, it's sure to make its way on other Cumulus radio stations within the coming weeks.
OK, WRVW may be mainstream, but I see a slight adult lean. They're still playing "Chasing Cars", "Haven't Met You Yet", "Second Chance", "How To Save a Life", "The Sweet Escape", "It's My Life", etc. They are also playing "Don't You Wanna Stay" and the new Adele track, which I haven't really heard on CHR yet.
Hopefully Cumulus is breaking some of these CHR's out of the Q100 mold - we can only hope so. I haven't really kept up with i93/KLIF, but they don't appear to be playing all of the older Hot AC'ish stuff that Q100 plays, or at least as much of it.

Also on Star 100.7 they are playing "Don't You Wanna Stay" by JASON ALDEAN and KELLY CLARKSON along side with Wiz and Lupe.
