#COMUSIC TOP 20 JANUARY 2024

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 2022. I stopped tracking it in NOV 2023 (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.

#COMUSIC TOP 20 OCTOBER + 2023

NOVEMBER 01, 2023Izcalli broke into the yearly TOP 20 and there were eighteen debuts (D) in October. And for the first time, I separated out the single releases (SP) not yet tied to an EP or LP.

*Strawberry Runners made their way, all the way, to (D) #3 for October. Band founder, Emi Night, moved to Denver from Indiana and started Strawberry Runners in 2013. Emi currently lives in Philadelphia. Hence the * in front of their name.

ABOUT THE CHARTS

Every Sunday I survey over a dozen community/public and college stations. 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 of the first single.

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.

Your donation will VERY HONESTLY HELP to keep this going. Please. Donate below or via Venmo at chrisk-2.

#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 SoundKOTO (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.
