KIIS music tweak?
- Thread starter Jeffrey
- Start date
They're beginning to sound more like 104.7 Kiss FM here in Phoenix! Except, now 104.7 here has decided to throw in a bunch of older songs from people like Foxy Brown, Eve, Ja Rule and stuff like that.

Other than playing the occasional Country crossover now (they "added" Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" as a recurrent a year after it charted nationally thanks to extremely strong call-out), there is no perceptable difference in what they play now vs a year or two or three ago. You're not going to find the current Jason Mraz, Nickelback, Saving Abel, the Veronicas, the Fray, David Cook, Gavin Rossdale, Hinder or the All-American Rejects songs (all top 30 nationally) there.
I'd say out of those, only the Fray stands a chance of getting an add there at some point (they still play stuff from the last album though it's usually middle of the night) and maybe the Veronicas.
They are playing The Veronica's, Taylor Swift, and some of the other non rhythmic hits here in Phoenix on 104.7 KissFM.... well at least TODAY I've heard quite a bit of alternative. I don't know how long it's going to last before they once again stop and decide to do it all over again in about a month or two, but that's been the case these past few months (or shall I say years?). Last week I remember hearing mostly rhythmic r&b and hip hop hits and maybe one Taylor Swift or an alternative hit thrown in every now and then. There are times when they will go an hour or more without touching alternative, then there are times when Taylor Swift and The Fray might play back to back. They played "better off alone" by Alice DeeJay last week, and they played "one wish" by Ray J today, followed by an alternative song.
101.5 JamZ has been a bit strange lately.... but I'm not complaining, although their choice of songs are a bit odd.

Secondhand Serenade, The Fray, Terror Squad, and The Veronica's all followed shortly after the Taylor Swift. Method Man, KC & JoJo, Panic! @ The Disco, and Chris Brown were some of the things played before. Nickelback, I don't think they play anymore.... at least for now. TI and Kanye are taking over all three of our hit music stations.
101.5 JamZ has been a bit strange lately.... but I'm not complaining, although their choice of songs are a bit odd. I do see them starting to re-add back in more of the hip hop and r&b hits though. For a while the playlist was very limited. All three of our "hit music stations" have been acting a bit weird lately... But 104.7 KissFM is still the one who most appropriately uses "all the hits".

Ok - something strange happened to my post here.... but yeah, sometimes it's good to post on a similar station in another state so people can compare what's going on in their city with another city that's doing even stranger things with their radio stations. However, no one has opened up a thread for our KISS, most likely because... well I'm guessing it's because we're already used to odd things happening. What KIIS in LA is doing has pretty much been done here quite a few times already. I'm just waiting to see if there will be more house or dance played again on Club KISS tonight.
Uh oh! uh oh! I see trash talk about the suns! I would say something back, but that will take away from the time I have to open up a Kiss forum in the Phoenix section.. Besides, the Cardinals won, so I'm content.
