Jan 03, 2022 – Happy New Year! Thousands of fans flooded the 12th Annual Colorado Playlist Listener Poll last month, making it one of the four best years over the past twelve. There were also a record number of categories for you to vote in.

One interesting aspect this year = songs and artists/bands selected as best of the year not showing up in the TOP 40 Colorado radio spin chart.

Spotify and YouTube playlists are at the bottom of CP LISTENER POLL/TOP 40 2021

The weekly TOP 5 and monthly Top 30 thanks to Spinitron – built to benefit non-commercial community/public and college radio and offering advanced search functions for artists and agents at Spinitron.com

Did you MISS listening to the show this weekend? You’re in luck. You can stream it throughout the week – or listen via FM radio if you’re around one of the stations airing it.

Thanks to those who support the Colorado Playlist, including 2020 EyeVenue in Westminster.

CP S15:EP50 2021

Sunset along Pueblo’s Riverwalk Summer 2021

Monday DEC 13, 2021 – We’re less than three weeks away from the end of 2021 and the Best Of the year show and year end charts. I guess it doesn’t take a brain scientist to figure out that Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats album The Future will be the number one album. They are, after all, the most popular band in recent memory. BUT – will Colorado Playlist listener and band fans pick them as #1?

This week’s TOP 5 finds Cortez, Colorado folk duo Maddy & Kev landing at #3 with Animal Electricity dropping into the 4th position and Claire Heywood lands back in the TOP 5.

MMMM this week features new music from the Jackson Cloud Odyssey, Corey Harris and Our Violet Room. The last time I caught Jackson Cloud live he was fronting a classic blues-rock band – but that was a few years ago now. His new album is full blown prog-rock/psychedelia than anything he’s known for live.

Corey Harris is a native Colorado musician who moved away after high school many decades ago. His new album is currently charting TOP 3 in the TOP 50 Colorado Album Chart at Roots Music Report.

Our Violet Room is a new project by Denver via Los Angeles singer-songwriter Matthew Birch. The new single also features Emma Cole from Wildermiss.
