#COMUSIC – TOP 30 FEB 2022

Early morning March 01, 2022 near Kenosha Pass

MARCH 01, 2022 – As you can see, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and the Lumineers have held onto their respective spots atop the February spins chart. Eleven titles stayed in the February TOP 30 from January: Sixteen titles were (D) debuts for the month; eight of which were songs featured for the month at Indie 102.3.

Spin data pulled from the Colorado Playlist105.5 The Colorado SoundIndie 102.3 and eleven stations that use playlist generator Spinitron, designed to benefit non-commercial community/public and college radio stations and offering advanced search functions for artists and agents.

Besides the spins chart published here, check out the weekly Roots Music Report TOP 50 Colorado Chart. Where I track titles going back a year, RMR charts often reflect titles that are more than a couple of years old. RMR also receives spin counts from a different set of reporters in Colorado, as well as from both terrestrial and Internet based radio around the country and Europe.

Titles are linked to their respective YouTube pages, if available.

COLORADO TOP 30 MARCH 2021

We’re now five months into the new release year that begins in November.

The #1 SINGLE = NATHANIEL RATELIFF – Redemption
The #1 ALBUM = A.J. FULLERTON – The Forgiver and the Runaway

I expect it to stay that way through at least the spring, and likely longer.

It’s also worth noting that a handful of releases have sustained their TOP 30 status, including:
6. FIVE IRON FRENZY – Until This Shakes Apart LP (Jan-21)
7. GASOLINE LOLLIPOPS – All the Misery Money Can BuyLP (Sep-20)
9. CARY MORIN – Dockside Saints LP (Jul-20)

COLORADO TOP 30 FEBRUARY 2021

March 02 2021 – There are certain things that should never come as a surprise; Nathaniel Rateliff once again leading the weekly TOP 5 or monthly TOP 30 is one of those. The other is Indie 102.3 leading the state in the amount of Colorado music they feature monthly; hence most of the (D) entries for the month.

Obviously, not every (D) is because of Indie 102.3. Other stations along with the Colorado Playlist were responsible for the (D) status of titles from Five Iron Frenzy (#10), Antonio Lopez (#14), David William’s Trickster Carousel (#16) and Southwestern Colorado alternative and alt-country-rock stalwarts the Lawn Chair Kings (#19).

A new station has hit the Denver airwaves at 104.7FM – it’s called the Drop. I’ll be looking forward to adding whatever Colorado artist titles they spin over the next months.

Aside from the titles tracked here weekly and monthly, Roots Music Report also charts airplay for Colorado releases weekly. However, the titles charted there include many that were released years ago, making their charts slightly irrelevant when it comes to what NEW music djs in Colorado and around the world (terrestrial and Internet) are spinning.
