Okay .. I have to admit, this has been one seriously messed up year as far as new releases are concerned. Not only have there been far fewer that I have normally identified by this time of the year, stations have been playing fewer than in the past couple of years. I’m not sure why this is to be honest. I realize we don’t track everything .. there’s no metal or rap in this list as nearly all of the stations I survey are of the AAA and/or CMJ format with strong focus on Americana, bluegrass, funk, etc.
I lost all my spin data from Jan through March (Q1) and have only been able to capture spin data in April and May (Q2) … so I have suspended my monthly TOP 40 spins chart for the time being. With this being my busy season, perhaps I can get back to it again this fall/winter .. we’ll have to wait and see.
There are 138 titles represented in this list. If you are aware of some titles not on it that should be, please inform me. I’ve been maintaining this list now for over five years and I’d to keep it as up to date as possible.
Much love,
goat
