Have you been to “COLORADO 2024” on Spotify? (sorry non-Spotify users) one hundred songs from one hundred artists/bands. When it hits one hundred, it’s one in one out. Every week, I tally the spins for each track. Here’s what was hot this past week. And it’s MUCH different than the radio spins posted below.
(1) 1. OneRepublic – Hurt
(2) 2. The Fray – Time Well Wasted
(3) 3. Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats – Heartless
(4) 4. Jeremiah Fraites (Lumineers), Gregory Alan Isakov – No Surprises
(7) 5. Lucy Daydream – Tear Me Down

If you’re missing going out to see live music, you’re not alone. There is live music taking place, however. It’s just not at any of the major venues like the Levitt Pavilion, Red Rocks or the Mission Ballroom. It’s at small places with 20 to 50 people spaced out 6 to 10 feet apart. When will see elbow to elbow audiences? Probably not this year according to several sources I’ve spoken with in the industry.
The Colorado Playlist is provided to member stations at no cost.

As you may know, I founded Rocky Mountain Music Relief to help out in times just like now. I know how hard things are. Mortgage, utilities, transportation and food are just a few of the things that need attending to. If you truly are in need, please reach out.
