Early 2000s on CHR in 2013?

B

bchristi

Cumulus stations, by and large, are very heavy on hits from the early 2000s, and its not just the occasional throwback, they are in regular rotation. Do songs from the early 2000s belong on Top 40 today in regular, or even power rotation as is the case with many Cumulus stations?
 
I am by no means a fan of Cumulus CHRs, but what early 00s have they been playing? I haven't heard anything THAT old in a long time on a Cumulus CHR, but I did move from a market with a cumulus CHR to one without one. I think the oldest I heard before moving in June was "Say It Right" (2007).

Just a few of the ones I hear regularly that I can think of off the top of my head are:

Baby Bash - Suga Suga (2003)
Fabulous - Into You (2003)
Ciara - Goodies (2004)
Juvenille - Back Dat Thang Up (2000)
50 Cent - In Da Club (2003)
Eminem - Lose Yourself (2002)
Dem Franchize Boys - Lean Wit It (2006)
Nelly - Hot In Heere (2002)

Those songs aren't just played as occasional throwbacks, they are still in regular rotation. If I had to estimate, for my local Cumulus CHR, 15% of the songs are Pre-2008, 70% of the songs are from 2008-2012 and 15% of the songs are current. Cumulus has completely DESTROYED current radio in markets stuck with their CHR or Rhythmic CHR format.
