 top 45 played : Pop seems to be a different game then the alternative which seems equal parts legacy and throwbacks and new music (2024/2025). For pop its half are in the last ten years and for alternative it is the last 25 years. For this station that makes sense for the younger listeners. There is KTU for easy listens and like grocery store playlist where this seems to be like a school bus radio station.

Half of these songs are in 2025 which is cool, you get to see more new songs sort of. Seems like everyone here is touring or doing festivals. only 29 artists. Below are my top 10 songs, don't know if I like them because they're always on the radio or if they are actually good. props to the pop music producers for finding out the perfect songs that people love.

My favorite 10 of this list. wonder who is going to win the VMAs for pop because I feel it's so close between lady gaga, rose ft bruno mars, Alex warren and Chappell Roan. Probably whoever will perform day of show, Maybe Chappell then? Easy to perform then launch a tour or album. Chappell I don't know if she is touring, she's doing a couple pop ups but opened for Olivia Rodrigo last year I think. Alex Warren has been killing it with festivals like Coachella, Lolla, and random other collabs this year. He blew up this year and so proud of that.

 Lady Gaga's Coachella set everyone was obsessed over. Still touring, seems like she's still number 1 over Chappell no matter who gets the participation trophy. Chappell seems like the next Lady Gaga. APT seems to be maybe last years song? since now she is touring with Blackpink this year. But Kpop has been huge this year. and it's such an easy listen.
