[ted11804]

Even though I get a better signal for WXKS, I still listen to WPRO sometimes. I don't know how many positions this is, but I turned it on in the 70s.

76 Lillix - It's About Time
75 Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi
74 Frankie J - Don't Wanna Try
73 No Doubt - Hella Good
72 Justin Timberlake - Senorita
71 Coldplay - Clocks
70 Good Charlotte - Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous
69 Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles
68 Santana f/ Michelle Branch - The Game of Love
67 Ataris - The Boys of Summer
66 Lil Kim f/ 50 Cent - Magic Stick
65 T.A.T.U. - All The Things She Said
64 Good Charlotte - The Anthem
63 No Doubt - Underneath It All
62 No Doubt - Running
61 R. Kelly - Ignition

53 Matchbox Twenty - Bright Lights
52 Jennifer Lopez - Jenny From The Block

46 Ja Rule f/ Ashanti - Mesmerize
45 Simple Plan - Addicted
44 Jay-Z f/ Beyonce - '03 Bonnie & Clyde
43 Eminem - Sing For The Moment
42 B2K f/ P. Diddy - Bump, Bump, Bump
41 Beyonce f/ Sean Paul - Baby Boy
40 Pink - Family Portrait
39 Dido - White Flag
38 Celine Dion - I Drove All Night
37 Hilary Duff - So Yesterday
36 Dixie Chicks - Landslide
35 ? yes.net wasn't working
34 Eminem - Lose Yourself
33 Liz Phair - Why Can't I?
32 Aaliyah - Miss You
31 Sean Paul - Get Busy
30 3 Doors Down - Here Without You
29 John Mayer - Your Body Is A Wonderland
28 Stacie Orrico - (There's Gotta Be) More to Life
27 Nivea - Don't Mess With My Man
26 Ashanti - Rock Wit U
25 Train - Calling All Angels
24 Live - Heaven
23 50 Cent - In Da Club
22 Michelle Branch - Are You Happy Now?
21 Wayne Wonder - No Letting Go
20 Uncle Kracker f/ Dobie Gray - Drift Away
19 Lumidee - Never Leave You - Uh Oh, Uh Oooh!
18 Norah Jones - Don't Know Why
17 Santana f/ Alex Band - Why Don't You & I
16 Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not The One
15 Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi
14 Amanda Perez - Angel
13 Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A River
12 Stacie Orrico - Stuck
11 Kelly Clarkson - Miss Independent
10 Avril Lavigne - I'm With You
9 Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow - Picture
8 Justin Timberlake Rock Your Body
7 Beyonce f/ Jay-Z - Crazy In Love
6 Jennifer Lopez f/ LL Cool J - All I Have
5 Jason Mraz - The Remedy (I Won't Worry)
4 Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love?
3 Matchbox Twenty - Unwell
2 Christina Aguilera - Beautiful
1 3 Doors Down - When I'm Gone

The only 3 positions so far that I am surprised about are R. Kelly (in the 60s? When he's in the Top 10 in R&R's?) and Vanessa Carlton, who's been recurrent all year. Evanescence #54? The #2/#3 song of the year?

I live a few miles north of Boston, and get PRO sometimes...but I find it leaning towards AC/Pop...i prefer Kiss...

[RRMusicGuy]

who cares what a third tier market plays??? I fortunately don't get Pro in my part of Boston, KISS is much better.

I would guess people who live in that third tier market would care.

Frankly, I live in Florida and couldn't care less what stations in New York play.

What part of Boston are you from?

[jimmy74747]

I really like this startion. Whenever I head up to visit friends in Boston, I always prefer PRO over Kiss 108.

[Nomahhhhh]

af18c & RR Music Guy...where are you both from...I'm attending Emerson College in the city right now, but my home is on the North Shore (middleton)

People living in RI and SE Mass care about it. And quite frankly, I would rather listen to 92 PRO FM than some cookie cutter KISS station out of Boston. I mean, I like KISS just fine, but PRO-FM is just as decent of a pop station. Why hate on it?

Just because a song scores high on the pop chart does not mean that EVERY station should follow suit. I like stations that play big hits but is also not afraid to play the lesser songs as well (like "Heaven" and "Cry"). That way, we get a well-rounded pop station instead of the RHY-leaning stations that people complain about on these boards. I look at that list and see quite a bit of variety with rap, some AC tunes, Hot AC, and also good old pop songs as well.
