Every Other Entertainment

I pulled more full day datas from September to December and the highlighted ones are songs I liked and are new and the gray one are more one hit wonders and others. I love how this radio station gives opportunities for newer artists on alternative radio.  Sure on the top played songs there are new releases from already established bands but not all are guaranteed to be good. I'm interested in seeing who is touring because that is different than pop radio where only basically touring artists are on their charts.  Im sure more alt acts are probably going to festivals more and I wonder if that is almost better for the artists, less costs for travel and touring party. If I was an artists, I would try and get on alt radio. Better chances of being heard besides social media.  TikTok songs were huge a few years back but now everything seems more saturated and an evener playing field.  Besides college radio, it seems like the best shot for air time although I don't know how ...

 Detailing the radio plays compared to alternative radio its incredibly different than pop radio. With WRVW over 2 days there were 124 songs played with about half the amount as there was for alt radio (259). As shown below, the station is dominated by touring acts, with all the single played songs just one hit wonders throughout the years.  What I do love is the variety of one hit wonders some electronic like Zedd, some alt with Paramore, Nicki Minaj with rap, and Rock with All American Rejects. But pop radio is truly dominated by just a hand full of artists. Ariana Grandes Popular and Defying Gravity was played which is surprising.  Artist Title HOZIER Too Sweet 27 SHABOOZEY A Bar Song (Tipsy) 26 SABRINA CARPENTER Taste 26 JELLY ROLL I Am Not Okay 26 MYLES SMITH Stargazing 24 LADY GAGA & BRUNO MARS Die With A Smile 22 TATE MCRAE It's ok I'm ok 21 SABRINA CARPENTER Bed Chem 20 GRACIE ABRAMS That's So True 13 THE WEEKND Dancing In The Flames 11 ROSE & BRUNO MARS A...

  This list almost feels like the top 20 songs of the year for alternative rock with major songs on this list that were huge this year. Basically everyone on the list was on tour too. IF this was the top 20 of the year, I would say, Hozier, huge and and deserved, Myles Smith, great for him newbie and feel good hit,  Love that Weezer was there with The Sweater Song about 30 years old but a bangerrrrr oh and Sublime lol. Blink, Green Day, Linkin Park all putting out new music this year and had huge tours. Linkin Park way controversial but yeah can't ignore all the rumors for sure....Jack white, Sum 41, Offspring, Almost Monday, all huge when we were young bands and now warped tour bands again?
