What Do You Think?
 
> Alter Bridge-Open Your Eyes
> Creed-My Sacrifice

You're playing these two songs back to back on a so called CHR? Yikes! Neither is a current, and both have the SAME EXACT formulaic Rock sound. Oh wait a minute, they both have some of the SAME band members. It would have made more sense to play Black Eyed Peas "Don't Lie", followed by "My Humps". Two songs by the same artist, both active on CHR, and both sound different from one another.

> Papa Roach-Scars
> John Mayer-Your Body Is A Wonderland
With these 4 songs (Alter Bridge and Creed included) back to back I'd be assuming I was listening to a Modern AC or some type of Rock station.
>
> Foo Fighters-All My Life
Coming back from a break into...something most CHR listeners won't recognize. Ummm, yeah, that's gonna go over real well in the ratings.
> Sum 41-We're All To Blame
> Lifehouse-Spin
> Maroon 5-Harder To Breathe
The first three songs here were pretty much ignored by CHR (although We're All To Blame was a personal favorite of mine), and "Harder To Breath" is definitely not Maroon 5's biggest record either.

> Ashlee Simpson-Boyfriend
> U2-Walk On
> Usher-U Remind Me
> Carrie Underwood-Inside You Heaven
Still? On CHR radio?!
> The Killers-Mr. Brightside
> Dave Matthews Band-American Baby
Very few CHRs played it or are still playing this one, aside from a few small market CHRs.
BTW, Where's the current music? I only see Ashlee's new one in this set of SIX songs.

No offense, but I think you need to go back to the drawing board.
For a personal Ipod it looks fine, for a bar/restaurant that you own it's fine, perhaps even for a college CHR it can work.
For a commercial Contemporary Hit Radio (are you sure you've properly digested the words CONTEMPORARY HITS here?) it looks like a very out of focus station. One which a typical female CHR listener will not care for.

I don't get it, your screen name is z100nyfan yet your playlist definitely doesn't seem to be influenced by Z's style of truly playing ALL THE HITS.

Thats really good. Decent variety.
Nice to see Lifehouse - Spin and Alter Bridge - Open Your Eyes. You would have me glued to your station if it was real. We need more CHRs like this.







Here's my laughable ones


Sample Hour 1 (Alternative/Rock Leaning. I call it "THE Kick Ass Hit Music Station" in mock of WXSS Milwaukee's "THE #1 Hit Music Station" which is VERY rhythmic leaning. My head wasn't straight when I came up with the name idea in 2003.)

Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days
Weezer - Dope Nose
Jimmy Fallon - Idiot Boyfriend (was really popular among teenagers in Wisconsin. WXSS Milwaukee was ALL over it)
Theory Of A Deadman - Hello Lonely
Coheed & Cambria - The Suffering
Saves The Day - Freekish
STOPSET
Sugarcult - Pretty Girl
Franz Ferdinand - Michael
Better Then Ezra - A Lifetime
Korn - Freak On A Leash
Green Day - Longview
David Banner - Play
Bloodhound Gang - Foxtrot Charlie Unicorn Kilo
P.O.D. - Alive
STOPSET
Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside A Broken Phonebooth With Money In My Hand
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - The Rest Will Follow
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc
Dr. Dre/Eminem - Forgot About Dre
Hawthorne Heights - Ohio Is For Lovers
Crossfade - Colors
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul To Squeeze
Tori Amos - A Sorta Fairytale
STOPSET
Mike Jones - Back Then
D.H.T. - Listen To Your Heart
H.I.M. - Wings Of A Butterfly

I like to think of it as WSNX Grand Rapids in reverse. Back to back hip hop and suddenly All-American Rejects, Dashboard Confessional, etc comes on.


Then there is my ideal Mainstream CHR

9-17-05
American Hi-Fi - The Geeks Get The Girls
Third Eye Blind - Jumper
Missy Elliot - Lose Control
Simple Plan - Untitled
Kanye West - Gold Digger
Fall Out Boy - Sugar We're Going Down
STOPSET
Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me
Crazy Frog - Axel F
Fat Joe - Get It Poppin
Cherry Monroe - Satellites
Rob Thomas - This Is How A Heart Breaks
Gwen Stefani - Rich Girl
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc
Lifehouse - You & Me
Rihanna - Pon De Replay
Pink - Just Like A Pill
Howie Day - Collide
Spin Doctors - Two Princess
Natasha Bedingfield - These Words
STOPSET
Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends
Mariah Carey - We Belong Together
Click Five - Just The Girl
Lit - My Own Worst Enemy
Papa Roach - Scars
Bow Wow - Hold You Down
Keane - Somewhere Only We Know
50 Cent - Outta Control

Also, none of this is real. Its just my screwed up brian at work.

This is an Adult CHR, or a Modern AC Leaning CHR. It is NOT a Mainstream CHR.
You're also still leaning way too heavily here on Recurrents/Gold. Even 104.3 ZYP Huntsville is more current-based then this.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by CHRles on 10/02/05 02:19 PM.</FONT></P>
