www.xmfan.com/viewtopic.php?p=1267248its not that great but it discusses some good stuff and look my station was even recognized lol. maybe that'll teach them to not play a song 130 times in a week

So, the reason why top 40 stations play a song 123 times a week is becasue the "average listener" listens only about a half-hour a day.....as opposed to us Britney fans who are listening ALL day for Piece of Me to play!

yea... i think stations need to find a better blend of the monster hits while playing some of the newer and upcoming ones.... and i dont htink recurrents should be played so often...and im tlaking recurrents that are only a year old....
ps this can be moved to that smashing radio section now! do it david!

total smash!
and yeah i agree. they need to divide it up better. dont have any songs over 100 spins a week. give a nice balance of monster hits, but also songs on the rise, new songs, and songs doing "decently". not just 5 songs over 100 and then a bunch near 70-90. and no recurrent should have over 10 spins IMO.

I agree with that article for the most part.
Apologize is the most overrated piece of shit. I hate that song.

so is Tattoo and No One. they are good songs but not amazing enough to get as many spins as they do. my station (had) both of them in power rotation with 120 spins a week, now No One is falling, but they still have Tattoo on power.

i dont get whats so amazing on it. but of course its a top 10 hit so my station put it into power mode. my station has killed many songs for me. they just overplay them and it sucks. Now, the only time they can overplay a song is if they add POM. Which I dont know when will happen. My station is f*cked up. They will add SEE YOU AGAIN, DONT STOP THE MUSIC, WITH YOU, CALABRIA 2008 and all that sh*t but wont even give POM 1 spin!!!! GR!

lol i wasnt trying to diss her, i was saying that they will add songs that are behind POM in the charts yet wont even add POM or play it once.
Trust me, Im happy that SYA is getting airplay on Q102, its the start of some good stuff to come hopefully instead of the same old sh*t, but trust me, POM > SYA. I dont like it get play if its at the expense of POM! LOl, but thats prob. not happening so w/e. It's all good. I never hear it though .. it always comes on when im not listening.

yeah.. i check yes.com a couple of times a day lol and see how many times POM gets played on Z100. it gets played usually like 5-6 times a day which is really good, im happy, i just think its ridiculous (IMO) that they are whoring out other songs and not POM, even when it gets like #1 on their most-requested countdowns and such. but oh well.
I hope it blows up in the new year. I would die if my station had it in power rotation.

basically, thats how it goes at my station.
WIth You is not a jam, its a FLOP! doesnt deserve anything.
does any of your stations play favorites? Once a new Chris Brown, Jordin Sparks, Rihanna etc. song comes out, my station gives them like atleast 50 spins a week just b/c of the name regardless of the song quality.

Will they still potentially play it?

My station has been playing With You for Weeks already But yeah, I know what you mean. Urban songs get jumped on immediately. Some rock and pop songs don't get added until they go Top 10, and in many cases, don't get added until they're falling from the pop charts with a negative bullet (or at all! )
