Q1 2023 TOP 30 + TOP 10 FEBRUARY

March 01, 2023 – February was a spectacular month. More of you visited and checked out more pages and posts than in any February since 2015!

I decided to mix things up a bit this month.

Every Sunday I survey over a dozen community/public and college stations, which includes spins from the Colorado playlist.

The monthly survey period is from the first week ending with a Saturday through the last week ending with a Saturday.  Titles are linked to its respective YouTube page.

The annual new release year begins in November. Of course, there are titles released in October that make the cut, and I do track all titles for a full calendar year after date of release. My yearly spins are pulled and calculated from December through the next year’s November. So, DEC 2022 – NOV 2023

Spin data pulled from the Colorado Playlist, 105.5 The Colorado Sound, Indie 102.3, 88.9 KRFC  and ten other stations that use playlist generator Spinitron, offering search functions for artists and agents to track airplay.

So, what are the most popular titles so far in 2023?

Monday FEB 27, 2023 – This week’s picture is a view of Grand Junction, Colorado from the Colorado National Monument, which is where I’m sitting this morning … looking up at the red rocks of the monument.

Happy 7th Birthday 105.5 The Colorado Sound. Seven years ago I entered what is now the final stage in my six decade long career in music and radio in Northern Colorado (1978-2023). On February 28, 2016, my show went from being called the Colorado Sound (2006-2016) to being renamed Chris K’s Colorado Playlist, when I became part of the on-air staff at KJAC FM (Greeley) henceforth known as 105.5 The Colorado Sound.

I have had the tremendous pleasure of working with some of the best in Northern Colorado radio history – none more than my friends and colleagues over the past seven years – Benji (now a program director in Dallas, TX), Margot (mid-days, program director), Stacy (afternoons, music director), Ron (evenings, promotion director), Ben (mornings), Dawn (weekends) and Kurt (website and social media director).

Thank you all for being a part of the success. It’s been the ride of my life.

Here’s what’s happening in #COMUSIC for the week! No weekly TOP 5 sorry to say. I’ll post up the monthly TOP 30 in a few days. In the meantime, pls let us know what you think of this week’s new music shares.
