#COMUSIC TOP 30 JUNE 2026

THANK YOU! You once again blew a decade long record out the door in monthly views to this website. I appreciate your visits, sincely.

I sometimes get asked why a certain band or artist or genre of music isn’t represented in the COMUSIC HOT SPINS REPORT and the TOP 30…

Some genres simply don’t get much, if any, terrestrial radio airplay, at least at non-commercial outlets. Bands like OneRepublic are vastly more popular on streaming services and commercial outlets, for example, than bands like the Lumineers and Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats. You won’t find much metal or rap on these stations either, and EDM gets a passing glance.

What you see in the reports is what sixteen community powered radio stations in the state air enough to be counted.

HOW THE CHART IS PUT TOGETHER

Every week I survey sixteen 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 Spotify and 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)

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.
