Yet another thread of Suggestions for Rhythmic AC to play these songs.

M

Mid West Clubber

Guest
MARRS-Pump up the Volume..Maybe not huge on CHR at the time, but alot of urbans and Rhythmics played it, especially Kiss 98.7 in NYC and GCI Chicago,,, Im not sure, but I bet stations like KPWR Power 106 and Miami's Poer 96 played them as well... However, this is like a cult classics, during the early to mid 90s alot of Dance Friendly CHRs added it as a classic,, big on Open house party as well... My variety hits station 107.9 THE TRACK in Indianapolis plays it.

Marky MarK-Good Vibrations,,, Also on 107.9 the track.

Shannon-Let the Music play,,, and in certain markets Give me tonight might fly...

Linear-Sending all my love

Arrested Developement-Tennessee

TKA-Louder than love, and Maria----Again,, Depending on the market

Debbie Deb-When i hear music... Ive actual heard this on philly's My 106.1,, but not much else... This one depends on the market as well.

Pointer Sisters-Automatic---Never hear this one anymore.

K7-Come baby Come..... Harmless unoffensive Hip Hop song from 93-94,,, Former TKA Member.

Real Life-Send me an Angel... I know its new Wave, but its dancy

Men without hats-Saftey Dance...New wave,, but still Dancy....

Paperboy-Ditty

OMC-how Bizzare--never here this anymore either.

Len-Steal My Sunshine

Kim Syms-Too blind to see it--Depending on the market.

Stacy Earl-Love me on up, and Romeo and juliet

Garbage-Stupid girl-Todd Terry Remix

Bizzare inc-Im gonna get you

Planet Patrol-Play at your own risk.

Donna Leiws- I love you always Forever.

Gabrielle-Dreams.

Stacy Q- Two of hearts.

KFL- 3 Am Eternal

Okay, i realize that not all these are dance or Rhythmic hits, but most if not all did receive Airplay on Rhythmics that were open to playing other popular Fun upbeat songs, which is what Rhythmic AC is supposed to be about
 
It's like today's RHY ACs ran out of gas all the while living next door to a gas station and seemingly refuse to cross the street to refuel. I haven't heard any MOVIN stations playing all (some but not all) of these songs MWC!!! Every single one of the songs above in your post I remember hearing on mainstream CHRs where I was listening: Z-92, All Hits! Lansing, MI (1988). KZ-93, Today's Music, Peoria, IL (1993). HOT 97, St. Louis' Best Mix, STL, MO (1991-92), 100.7 MIX-FM, Terre Haute, IN (1995-97). We are not talking about big niched formatted stations back in the day. These were THE CHRs of their towns. Some may have had conservative CHR/HOT AC competition in town but they were the CHR leaders playing the above hits. Why RHY ACs in today's radio world are missing out on a tankful of songs that could and should re-energize the format, I don't know????
 
I know KMVQ in San Francisco/Oakland, CA will play most of those songs!
