#COMUSIC TOP 30 AUGUST 2026

What a way to end a month — and begin another! Once again, you set a record for the most views in a month over the past decade. Thank you.

During the 18th Annual Dacono Music & Spirits Festival, I met a wonderful person from the Colorado State Senate. And you know me… get me talking about Colorado music and musicians and I get a little excited. We connected and brainstormed the idea of the Colorado State Senate passing a resolution honoring Colorado musicians.

WELL… turns out, it wasn’t such a crazy idea after all. I learned today that Senator Janice Rich is interested in introducing a resolution recognizing Colorado Musician Day during the 2027 legislative session.

How cool is THAT?!

ABOUT THE #COMUSIC TOP 30 & HOT SPINS

The #COMUSIC TOP 30 and weekly HOT SPINS track Colorado music aired specifically on Colorado non-commercial radio. Other charts include terrestrial and streaming activity outside the state; this is the only chart focused exclusively on in-state radio airplay.

---

HOW IT WORKS

Every week, I survey airplay from seventeen Colorado community, public and college radio stations, including Colorado Playlist spins. Monthly charts cover the first full survey week ending on Saturday through the final Saturday of the month, with titles tracked for twelve months beginning with the release of the first single from an album or EP.

The charts reflect what those seventeen Colorado stations actually play. That means some genres are represented more heavily than others: Americana, indie and roots music generally receive considerably more non-commercial airplay than metal or rap, while EDM receives limited but growing exposure.

The #COMUSIC TOP 30 and HOT SPINS reflect measurable Colorado radio airplay — nothing more, nothing less.

KAFM, KBUT, 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.

KGNU Boulder, Indie 102.3 and 105.5 The Colorado Sound data is pulled from their websites, or emailed to me each week.

LP = album (5 or more songs)
EP = extended play (3-5 songs)
SP = single play (1-2 songs)
(D) = debut of SP (single), EP or LP release in the TOP 30
(R) = return to the TOP 30 of SP, EP or LP release

Your SUPPORT is ESSENTIAL.

The Colorado Playlist has been my passion for 20 years. Now retired, the monthly costs of producing the show stretch my limited retirement income — but I’d like to keep it going for another couple of years.

The show airs statewide on 11 primary stations across 30 FM/LPFM frequencies and is provided at no cost to Colorado community radio stations.

If you’d like to help keep it going, your support is sincerely appreciated. Donations via Venmo at chrisk-2 are preferred, or use the form below. Thank you — sincerely. – chrisk
