What's wrong with it? There's two Dance songs, a couple Pop, a couple Rap/Urban and a Rock. The number of spins are a bit high, but some stations are like this.

oh no, i didnt mean the songs, i mean the spin totals.
first off, it has a song that is done at radio as its #1 song with 117 spins.
it has 6 songs over 100 spins a week which is ridiculous, and its whole top 10 has over 70 spins each.
i just find the spin totals ridiculous. they wh!re out songs so much and then new (to the station) songs, like Flashing Lights, Piece of Me & Stop and Stare all have negative bullets. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. I have seen stations have more spins than that for a number one song. And they weren't stunting or anything like that. I have seen Wild in SF have their number one have like 160 spins in one week. That was a few years ago. The song was only like 2 minutes long so they threw it in a lot and in the mixes.

WOW! Are You serious? 160?? That's like almost every single hour. Jeez!
Q102 was getting really bad.. a few weeks ago there top song had like 127 spins a week i think. they have lowered it down below 120 now, but probably not for long. They really need to spread out the spins more.
And they are still obsessed with some songs from like 3 months ago. They aren't ready to let go yet, lol

COLBIE CAILLAT Bubbly 112 7. TIMBALAND/ONEREPUBLIC Apologize 112 The thing about Kiss Jacksonville though is that people can choose to listen to WAPE instead...Philly listeners don't really have a choice (besides WSTW/Wilmington or WPST/Trenton if they can pick them up)

lol, exactly.
WPST doesn't even come in for me, while WSTW comes in some places but not others. its still alittle staticky even when it comes in.
WSTW is about as good as it gets. q102 is alittle too rhythmic-leaning for my taste but its that or WSTW, thats all i got, haha. it sucks. we need a real CHR/POP station, instead of 10 rhythmic/urban stations.
and yeah i know what you mean about recurrents.. q102 had "Tell Me" by christina/diddy at like 35 spins a few weeks ago. its not as old as 2005, but still old enough that it shouldnt be getting 35 spins a week. thankfully, the song has died, they have it at like 10 spins now

*NO* station anywhere should be playing a song more than 70 times a week for ANY reason... unless they're pulling a stunt like that station did a few years ago before it changed formats by playing some stupid song over and over for like a week. lol. That's different tho.

www.mmr247.com/mmrweb/AllAccess/stations.asp?c_let=WXKB-FMThis week they played "See You Again" exactly once an hour. The two CHR-Pop stations I get are WHTZ and WBLI. WHTZ played its top song 96 times and its fourth most played song 59 times which I would expect to be significantly lower than the panel average for the fourth most played song on each CHR-Pop station. WBLI has a tie for its top song at 97 spins. Out of all the areas where you can get more than one CHR-Pop station I would expect a good deal of them would have at least one of the CHR-Pop stations overplaying their top songs more than WHTZ and WBLI do. WHTZ and WBLI keep their top songs near or below 100 spins.

Holy crap, that's so insane I had to take a screenshot of it. The fact that that song has a +123 bullet is bad enough.

I did a Google search for "WXKB-FM" and the third result was this. :o I've never even seen this before! And it appears to work for any radio station just by replacing the call letters. Pretty cool.

Cool! But what does the "TW" mean? As in, why is "Apologize" all the way down at #155?

Thank you for finding that. It goes down to 2 spins, not 1, but if you want to know if your station is playing a song that it isn't playing enough to appear on its 50 song Mediabase playlist this is useful. Also if you forgot what a song sounds like it has clips of the songs. When getting to the page where you type in the call letters to get the station's playlist, I went from the chart page to the leaders for a song and clicked on the song's top leader to get to a station playlist to get to what I was looking for, but I wasn't looking for WXKB specifically and I wasn't looking for a station that plays their top songs as much as WXKB.

The WKXB example is bad, yes. But as far as Q102 goes, they're playing the hits. Obsessively much, but you can't fault them for it. In regard to Good Charlotte being the most played record, remember that even though a song may be "done" in most places, it could be researching as a power record in some places at the same time.

I think you can. Playing the hits is great. People want to hear the hits. But once an hour? How? Surely there are more than 10-15 hits in any given time on a format!

Yeah for the most part, stations that play their hits once an hour are catering to teens, who don't spend as much time per day listening to the radio (it's not on all day at work, they don't have long commutes to work, spend more time listening to I-Pods, etc.) So those couple times a day that teens do turn on the radio, they wanna hear their fav. song

Do you not realize that it's not just CC that follows this or a very similiar method of programming?

Clear Channel has stations that overplay songs, but Beasley owns WXKB so you can't blame Clear Channel for that.
