You dont like The Wanted "Glad You Came". I think its good. I can listen to it over vs Nicky Minaj

I like “Broken Hearted” by Karmin. I wish the Clear Channel CHRs would start playing it.

Any CC station in particular? It's definitely playing on some of them. It's doing well on 101.3 KDWB Minneapolis and Radio Now 97.3 Milwaukee

Also Channel 955 in Detroit added Karmin not long ago.

I'm not a big "turbo-pop" fan but I do like "Turn Me On" (Guetta/Minaj) and "Glad You Came."

Sounds just like Domino/Jessie J., lots of Katy Perry songs IMO

I really like Wild Ones by Flo Rida, and I don't usually like pop/rap

You all are correct about more CC CHRs picking up on Karmin. I checked allaccess and KDWB is in the top 20 leaders of spins for "Broken Hearted". Others like KIIS, Kiss 108, WXXL, and even local Kiss 95.3 WSKX is spinning it. I hope it gains some steam on the charts.

Hmm... I feel like I'm really losing touch with what's new in CHR radio. I love my Top 40 music but have been spending a lot of time listening to AC and Soft AC. Right now the big CHR songs I'm into are "Turn Me On" by David Guetta/Nicki Minaj and "Glad You Came" by The Wanted. I don't mind that song by One Direction either.

A lot of songs on this original list are songs I'm not familiar with. I had to sample a lot of them on YouTube, and I feel like I'm getting behind in all this stuff!

Out of all these songs, the only ones I'm really familiar with are "Titanium" (the only reason I know this one is because I just bought the David Guetta album), "Part of Me", "Starships", "Stronger", "Young Wild & Free", and "Domino". I've listened to "Live My Life" and "Climax" online but haven't actually heard them on the radio at all. That song by Karmin was not familiar to me at all.

Am I living under a rock or something? Are most mainstream and/or rhythmic CHR stations playing most of these songs?

CHRles · Apr 10, 2012

Nope, you're not living under a rock.
My personal chart is based on personal taste and influences.
I listen to a lot of international CHRs, especially from Europe, and am very up to date on whats hot on the charts over there, as well in America. So that's what you end up seeing on the list.
The Wanted's "Glad You Came", for example, was a big hit in the UK awhile back. So to me it's not really a favorite current, but is more of a Recurrent for me personally. Same with Calvin Harris "Feel So Close". Even Guetta's "Titanium" is something I've had the pleasure of listening to for months.

With regards to Karmin gaining some traction, it's already Top 20 at CHR.
