Just curious to hear from all you Hot AC listeners and what songs your station plays on medium or high rotation when they never even made the Top 20 on the chart.
I listen to KALC-FM Alice 106 in Denver, and these are a few songs which this station plays quite a lot that never touched the Top 20.
Stereofuse: "Everything": (It is STILL getting played in a fairly high rotation.)
Lucinda Williams: "Righteously"
Puddle Of Mudd: "She Hates Me"
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

Up here in NH, WGXL used to play just about everything, but now the only time I hear a non Top 20 song (and I could probably even say a non Top 15 song) is during the overnight or on weekends, and it's even rare then.
On the flipside, you have stations like KSYZ/Grand Island, NE. They play just about every song that has hit any part of the Hot AC chart, and they keep on playing it too. When I was back there for a week last month, I specifically heard the following songs:
Fountains of Wayne - Stacy's Mom
Shania Twain - Forever and Always
MercyMe - I Can Only Imagine
Gavin DeGraw - Follow Through
Sugarrhea - Is She Really Going Out With Him
OAR - Hey Girl
David Gray - Be Mine
Telepopmusik - Breathe
Tori Amos - Taxi Ride
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop
Katy Rose - Overdrive
Duncan Sheik - On a High
Coldplay - The Scientist
Pete Yorn - Crystal Village
Simply Red - Sunrise
Usher - U Got It Bad
Christina Gaguilera - Fighter
LeAnn Rimes - The Right Kind of Wrong
Sense Field - Save Yourself
Delerium ft. Sarah McLachlan - Silence
Macy Gray - When I See You
Macy Gray - She Ain't Right For You
Dana Glover - Rain
Fleetwood Mac - Say You Will
Feel - Got Your Name On It
Robbie Williams - Feel
Eddie Vedder - You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
and probably more that I forgot...

Wow there's no way i can think of every non T20 HAC song WPLJ played... I don't even know if I can think of all the current ones, lol, but here are some.
CURRENT/RECENT ONES:
Fountains of Wayne - Stacy's Mom
Jason Mraz - You & I Both
Sting - Send Your Love (this did miss the Top 20, right?)
Seal - Waiting For You
Meatloaf - forget the name
Coldplay - The Scientist
FURTHER BACK ONES:
Enrique Iglesias - Escape (they still play this a LOT and they usually stay away from Pop songs)
Janet Jackson - "All For You" and "Someone To Call My Lover" both got played while they were out.
Sarah McLachlan - Blackbird

Not to be nitpicky, but "Say You Will" and "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" both hit the top 20 on Hot AC.

Train: "When I Look To The Sky" (how will it do?) Meat Loaf: "Couldn't Have Said It Better" is the title Pink: "Trouble" Vertical Horizon: "I'm Still Here" (did it make the Top 20?)

On mix 100, which is a heavy AC leaning Hot AC station, I often hear: Phil Collins - Can't Stop Loving You Shania Twain - Forever & For Always Stacie Orrico - (There's Gotta Be) More To Life Simply Red - Sunrise MercyMe - I Can Only Imagine |

At the same time, it is amusing to hear all that 80's music on that station. That is why because of all the classic 80's pop and rock played on the station, rarely does a #1 single on the station in a week get more than 30 spins. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

(Only because it has to compete with a number of AC stations in CT and even WALK FM from Long Island that has a pretty far reach.)
