Please Help Fund the Colorado Playlist
I don’t typically do fund raisers for the Colorado Playlist .. but it’s not free to keep going. I’m mostly retired now and the costs are really eating into my monthly retirement income. Please make donations via Venmo at chrisk-2 OR use the form at the bottom of this page (I prefer Venmo). ____________________________________________
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).
KAFM, KBUT, KCSU, KDNK, KDUR, KFFR, KOTO, KSJD, KSUT, KRFC, KRZA 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.
(**) = serviced to media in Colorado by Rocky Mountain Music Network, LLC
Approximately 105 titles were aired at least one time on one station somewhere in Colorado in DECEMBER. You’re most likely to hear Colorado music on one of three stations along the Northern Front Range: Indie 102.3, 105.5 The Colorado Sound and 88.9 KRFC. Their HOT SPINS are listed below.
