David Guetta f/Kelly Rowland- When Love Takes Over

[musicfanpete]

I'm listening online to KUDD from Salt Lake City right now and heard this song. Wow! I'm surprised anyone on the Hot AC panel is playing this. Would love to see this break out and become a big hit here.

I'm seeing more and more europop sounding songs do well here (Lady Gaga included even though she is from the U.S.), and would love to see this trend continue.

Anyone know if this has an adds date for Hot AC?

^Yeah KUDD is pretty "out there" - that's why it's one of my fav. HAC stations lol...they'll add anything they like, but tons of songs they play never go for HAC adds (or adds on any format)

They've got "Kelsey" in power rotation. And this song never went for adds anywhere. Likewise with "How Can You Love Me Now" and "Your Call".

Atlantaboy, that's what makes KUDD hard to categorize. They play a lot of CHR hits, but they also play some modern rock hits that don't do much on either CHR or Hot AC. So it is hard to label them, but if you base it on plays it would probably fit the CHR format. However since they lean more alternative, they still be kept as a Hot AC station.

Interesting that their most active currents are being played over 70 times a week. However, that was down from over 90 plays a week about a month ago. So they still don't seem to know what they want to be these days, but I agree they are a great station to hear music you don't hear elsewhere.

This one's even more obscure! But figuring that Green Bay is probably a pretty conservative market, this is about as close to a CHR as they are going to get.

[atlantaboy]

^Yeah Green Bay actually has a competing Kiss pop/rhythmic-type CHR, but its ratings are much lower...also thought that wider variety in new music selection (i. e. this station) meant more liberal market, but completely not sure

I guess that could go either way. The more conservative the market, the less likely a rhythmic CHR will do well, as is the case in Green Bay. However, as you mentioned, this type of modern leaning CHR station would do well in college towns, towns were Triple A stations tend to do somewhat better. But I guess it depends on each market.
