August 7, 2023 – August kicks off with a festival I’ve been the entertainment director of since launching it seventeen years ago, the Dacono Music & Spirits Festival. And, after seventeen years it takes longer to recover from a day spent in the elements managing the show. UGH. But, today is Monday and here’s what’s up…

Beginning AUG 27, the Colorado Playlist will be aired statewide Sunday nights at 7:00 PM on 91.5 KUNC. That adds another fifteen markets that the show will be aired in, bringing the total up to forty-five frequencies statewide. See stations and times page for details.

Have you checked out the resources pages? Or the music calendar page?

#COMUSIC TOP 20 JULY+ DEC-JULY 2023

August 1, 2023 – Thanks for another stellar month of visits and views! With the exception of last year’s never before seen July visits, this July was the best since in a decade (so, second best if you count last year). Please continue to share with your music loving friends. And please remember to support our Colorado musicians by attending shows and purchasing merch.

ABOUT THE CHARTS

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

The monthly survey period is from the first week ending with a Sunday, through the last week ending with a Saturday.  Yearly spins are pulled and calculated from December through the next November.

The annual new release year begins in November, although there are some released in October that make the cut. I track all titles for a full calendar year from the official date of release.

Titles are linked to its respective YouTube page. Don’t forget to visit Chris K’s Colorado Playlist Channel for the largest collection of Colorado music, going back over a decade.

The Colorado Playlist is provided at no cost to radio stations. Your donation will VERY HONESTLY HELP to keep this going. Please. Donate below or via Venmo at chrisk-2.
