#COMUSIC TOP 30 APRIL 2026

Jazz is an important and integral part of the Colorado music scene. Denver’s KUVO, known as the Oasis in the City, has been one of the nation’s leading jazz stations for decades. I’m happy to announce that their spins have now been added to the #COMUSIC TOP 30 and the weekly HOT SPINS report.

I WISH I WAS KIDDING. Your SUPPORT is ESSENTIAL.

This show has been my passion for 20 years. I am retired now. I survive on social security, some pennies and dimes playing out (right?!), and limited savings (that won’t last to the end).

There are monthly costs associated with the show that honestly stretch my insanely limited retirement income, and the loss of my steadiest supporter over the past decade.

The Colorado Playlist is the only program showcasing Colorado music statewide, broadcast by 12 stations covering 30 FM/LPFM frequencies. I make this show available at NO COST to community radio stations in our state. I’d like to keep it going for another couple of years.

Your support is sincerely appreciated.

Please make donations via Venmo at chrisk-2 (preferred) or use the form below (they take a cut). Thank you, sincerely – chrisk

HOW THE CHART IS PUT TOGETHER

Every week I survey fifteen Colorado community/public and college stations, plus Colorado Playlist spins on respective stations. The weekly survey period runs from midnight Sunday through the next Saturday. 

The monthly survey period starts from the first week, ending with a Saturday. It continues through the last week, which also ends on a Saturday.  Titles are linked to its respective YouTube page.

Titles are tracked from the date of release of the first single from an LP/EP, for twelve months. Example: DOR = DEC 2023. I stopped tracking it in NOV 2024 (twelve months).

KAFM, KBUT, KCSU, KDNK, KDUR, KFFR, KLZR, KOTO, KSJD, KSUT, KRFC, KRZA, KUVO, KVCU, and KVNF are surveyed via Spinitron, offering search functions for artists to track airplay on over three hundred stations and programs around the country.

LP = album (5 or more songs)
EP = extended play (3-5 songs)
SP = single play (1-2 songs)
