AT10 - 1/15/05

[Arson]

Hopefully, someone will post the songs played in this weekend's countdown. I only heard a bit of it (the top of the last hour).

From the Top 10

3. Martina McBride - "In My Daughter's Eyes"
4. Five For Fighting - "100 Years" (biggest jumper this week)
5. Maroon 5 - "This Love"

From the AT10 Archives

Cher - "Song For The Lonely"
Fleetwood Mac - "Rhiannon"

AT10 Spotlight

Theme: 'The Piano and the Artists Who Play Them"

Richard Marx - "Right Here Waiting"
Elton John - "Tiny Dancer"
Barry Manilow - "Weekend in New England"

I wonder if he played Sarah McLachlan's "Angel". And maybe a song by Jim Brickman.

As far as the Top 10 goes, it' simply R&R's Top 10. Apparently Premiere decided to switch back (I think they should have back when they switched over to AT10, but better late than never).

So it looks like they're getting a little better as far as the "other" songs are concerned, since near the end of 2004, they seemed to be repeating songs.  It figures that my station dropped the show now!  Oh well, they'll probably start repeating songs again.  It'll probably work in cycles.

Also, I noticed that they played 26 "other" songs.  This must be a record for AT10.  I'll bet they chopped the second verse out of several songs, because there were no songs from the late 1960s or early 1970s (well, except for "Lean On Me"), an era when songs tended to be less than three minutes long. 

I noticed that over on AT20, there were also 36 songs played. Wow, they must be really getting down to the heart of the matter and doing less talking.

I remember reading somewhere awhile back that Clear Channel stations had to cut down on their commercial time, so I'm sure that's a big part of it.
