CP S17 EP36 2023

Monday OCT 9, 2023 – Hope you enjoyed the last of the fall colors for the year. Snow is already falling with cozy nights listening to Colorado music in front of a fireplace with a great bottle of Colorado wine (or whiskey) right there with it. It’s also a great time of year to enjoy some live music at some of the best indoor venues anywhere. Check out the live music calendar.

#COMUSIC TOP 20 SEPTEMBER+ 2023

September brings out most of the last of the current year releases, as artists/bands wind down their outdoor seasons and get ready for fall/winter releases for the next year. Of course, most of the September releases won’t show up on the monthly spins chart, if they do at all, until the end of OCTOBER. So be listening and watching the weekly Monday Morning Music Meeting (MMMM) for those newer releases and make sure to vote your like, or dislike.

ABOUT THE CHARTS

Every Sunday I survey over a dozen community/public and college stations. Stations surveyed: KAFM (Grand Junction), KBUT (Crested Butte), KDNK (Carbondale), KDUR (Durango), KFFR (Winter Park), KJAC (Greeley) aka 105.5 The Colorado Sound, KOTO (Telluride), KRFC (Fort Collins), KSJD (Cortez), KSUT (Ignacio), KRZA (Alamosa), KVNF (Paonia), KVOQ (Denver) aka Indie 102.3.

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.
