MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING

Every year I debut approximately two hundred new current-year songs.

Every week I have to make decisions about what to keep to play again and what to archive.

Let me know what you think of the debuts (D) I shared in the show this week.

Results enter into determining which cuts stay in the library and which cuts might eventually make it to the annual Colorado Playlist Fan & Listener Poll and the “some of the best of the year” show.

Every week I survey more than a dozen Colorado community/public and college stations, including Colorado Playlist spins on respective stations. The weekly survey period runs from midnight Sunday through the following Saturday. 

The monthly survey period runs from the first week ending with a Saturday through the last week ending with a Saturday.  Titles are linked to its respective YouTube page.

Titles are tracked from the date of release of the first single from an LP/EP, for twelve months. Example: DOR = DEC 2023. I stopped tracking it in NOV 2024 (twelve months).

KAFMKBUTKCSUKDNKKDURKFFRKOTOKSJDKSUTKRFCKRZA and KVNF are surveyed via Spinitron, offering search functions for artists to track airplay on over three hundred stations and programs around the country.

LP = album (5 or more songs)
EP = extended play (3-5 songs)
SP = single play (1-2 songs)
(*) = No longer lives in Colorado, but counted as long as they got their career started here or there is some other reason to include them.
