CP S17 EP10 2023

MONDAY MARCH 13, 2023. Claire and I are off to Death Valley this week. Looking forward to some desert warmth and spring flowers. So, if there’s no post next Monday, you know why.

The word is out that I’m “retiring.” Not entirely. I’m leaving Northern Colorado radio & music after a forty-five year run and moving to Grand Junction. I will continue to produce the Colorado Playlist. And who knows what else I can do in “retirement.”

#COMUSIC TOP FIVE WK ENDING 3/11

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.

*The Wood Brothers are not, specifically speaking, a locally based band, but as it custom on the Colorado Playlist I also include Colorado expats living elsewhere – so long as they were born and raised here, or got started here .. so the new Wood Brothers tracks (one due out in April) get included.*

CP S17 – TOP #COMUSIC SPINS WK 3/4

Picture thanks to Claire Mannato at ClearVistasPhotography.com

Monday March 6, 2023 – Is it spring yet?? A goat can dream, can’t he? Hence the picture this week.

I didn’t air a new episode of the show this week. Instead, we aired an encore presentation of the BEST of 2022. Check the menu (or to your right) for pages dedicated to 2022.

Every week on Sunday I survey a dozen stations for airplay of Colorado music.

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.

Typically I share the TOP 5 titles getting the most spins around the state. This week, I expanded the list a bit – if only because there’s no new music to share in the MMMM. So .. I combined the MMMM and TOP SPINS this week.

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?
