Skrillex - "Bangarang" on Atlanta radio?

E

electroboy73

Radio in Atlanta is pretty awesome since we finally got a real CHR. Power 96.1 is sounding better everyday and has now pulled ahead of Q100 in the ratings. Mostly, I'm loving that dubstep artist, Skrillex is actually getting a decent amount of airplay on Power as well.
Just wondering if any other CHR's are playing this record. Is it breaking or has it made it made it on the charts or is our new CHR actually taking some risks? It sounds REALLY awesome (albeit, pitched up quite a bit). But, this has to be Atlanta's best sounding CHR since late 80's Power 99.

Thoughts?
 
Bangarang peaked around Spring 2012. Sirius Hits 1 was playing it quite a bit but I don't remember which, if any, other reporters played it heavily.
 
I don't necessarily like "Bangarang" (or dubstep in general), but I like that Power is taking a calculated risk by playing it. It sounds good on the radio and fits nicely with the station's vibe. Hopefully they keep it up.
 
I heard it on KAMP a few times around January and February of last year, and KROQ and KYSR also played it a few times, but the song is well past its prime at this point.
