The difference is that back then there were more stations on the panel and that now the stations just overplay the songs. There's a station in Tampa playing this 124 times a week. I can't even... 97X (WSUN) I guess? That station is ridiculous. I go to Tampa from time to time and always listen to it while I'm in the area. You're almost guaranteed to hear their Top 5 songs every hour. It's a huge drop after that as in let's say the sixth most popular song on their playlist has more than half the amount of spins as the fifth.

In Canada the average spins for a #1 song on an Alt station is about 40 plays. In contrast, the #17 song on WSUN's playlist has 39.

Believe it or not, our rock stations have actually been lowering their spins. CFNY and CFEX's #1 songs used to be well in the 50-60 spins range, and now they're in the 30-40s. Some stations are as low as the mid 20s.

Was WSUN a pop station at one point? Because it's power-rotation structure is insane, and unheard of for rock formats.

However, it was never this bad. It was actually one of my favorite stations on the format maybe ten years ago as they gave a lot of songs in the middle or bottom of the chart some good airplay.

YES! We all knew this was a #1 but it's so great to officially see it listed in its actual position. HI H8ers! I'd say this is second only to "Do I Wanna Know?" in terms of the year's best #1.

I don't really hate this too much anymore, but I'd rather not see it get grossly overplayed on the format (kinda like that station in Florida that Pipa mentioned).

Like American Idiot said, it used to be one of the better stations on the chart. Let Soulja Boy get 122 spins and leave songs like "Dangerous" alone.

Does Alt get callout scores? I can imagine the callout scores for this to be astoundingly high. YES! We all knew this was a #1 but it's so great to officially see it listed in its actual position. HI H8ers! I'd say this is second only to "Do I Wanna Know?" in terms of the year's best #1. Now this should be a hit in every other format it charts on.

My Alt Station plays a new song every other song so I guess that's not too bad.

The Imagine Dragons cover it awesome. It's a shame alot of people are gonna hate on it since they seem destined to be the replacement for Nickelback in terms of hating on them for no reason other than it being cool.

You hate on Imagine Dragons in general though. your hatred for Demons, On Top Of The World, and Radioactive is fairly well known around here. I'm guessing you don't like It's Time either...
