I know this may sound silly, but I have playlists in my Ipod that each have and stick to a certain format. With exception to the dance leaning top 40 Jamsession playlist, they all turned out to be rhythmic leaning because that's what I tend to desire most, but two songs that continue to be my favorite at the moment are "black & gold" by Sam Sparro and "can't speak french" by Girls Aloud.
I was wondering if anyone would find "can't speak french" and "black & gold acceptable in an r&b/pop leaning rhythmic format?

THIS IS STRICTLY FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE. IF YOU'RE BORED OR FEELING CREATIVELY WACKY, READ ON:
Just in case people are wondering, here are the playlists and formats:
1. Hott Vibez -
Rhythmic Leaning Top 40 (all my top & most favorite pop, r&b, alternative, and dance songs at the moment. Drifts back & forth from leaning in certain directions, based on my preferences at the time. Good for on-the go and quick listening periods due to a shorter playlist and lack of any extra "alright sounding fillers". No mixes. No more than 60-80 songs max.)
2, Jamsession -
Dance leaning top 40 (my fav's in top 40 style music with a good amount of dance and current freestyle hits. Also includes a few recurrents and a few songs I didn't like enough to put in Hott Vibez, and dance, pop, breaks, and bass remix mixshows).
3. hottjamz -
Rhythmic, Party Station Sound (my fav's in rhythmic pop, hip hop, and r&b/urban leaning pop radio and non radio hits with urban/hip hop influenced dance hits. Mixshows are r&b, hip hop, and rhythmic top 40 hit remixes (electro bass, house, bassline, booty bass) mixed up. Some reggaeton and r&b/dance styled latin hits and urban sounding u.k. house/garage. few recurrents, and songs I didn't like enough to put in K-Soundz Express.)
4. K-Soundz Express -
brand new Rhythmic (all my top & most favorite rhythmic sounding hits, similar to Hott Vibez, but with no alternative, rock, or heavy dance at any time. Mostly r&b and pop style hits, and urban sounding dance hits. good for quick, on-the-go rhythmic listening, whenever I have a quick free moment and don't want to sit through or waste time scrolling through anything else but rhythmic beats. No mixes. No more than 80-100 songs max.)
Club KDM Express (or Rhythm Nation in Zune) is where all the various dance styles are and Hott Talkpickz is where my talk radio podcasts are. Mixshows are in Club KDM
Don't worry, I didn't think of all this at once - it took me about 8 months to get everything perfected the way I like, and both my Zune and Ipod are identical in music playlists! (with exception to my Ipod having a MUCH MUCH WIDER dance variety in the dance playlist). I Seemingly add new music or edit something on a daily basis, if the chance becomes available.
Since my Ipod battery cannot handle the mass amount of music in it, the Zune is for listening while out (long battery life) and even travelling, while the Ipod stays home, plugged in, and remains connected to the stereo. (They BOTH go with me when I travel.)
Most people would say this is ridiculous, but since day one, I couldn't help but to keep a format in every playlist I create, and can never just fill with just random songs and be satisfied - even if they are my favorites! Not only that, but I'm also never satisfied with the feel of things until I get it precisely the way I want! Always trying to decide if and why a certain song should go where and if I like it enough to add to all or some lists.. Call me crazy, but I've always been over-adventurous and detailistic since childhood in everything I did that I had a fascination with, and was even formatic, back in 1997 when I was younger and still using cassettes, pretending to be "the new Hot 98.1 KCCI" with my commercials and amber alerts, battle of the jams at school when I had people vote.... and everything! Right now I'm even trying to decide if I want Craig David's Insomnia in K-Soundz!
