Britney has 5 songs in the Top 100, go Britney!

[Gray.]

Glad to see "Untouched" on there! But how did Flop Flop; Flop Flop featuring the Flopzinger beat it out?!

The Veronicas "Untouched" was #76 on the Z100 2008 year-end list; had it had its full run within 2009, it would have placed higher.

Lady GaGa has 5 songs, too! Beyonce has 4. Those should be the most "placements" by artists on the list...feel free to study the list & add your thoughts.

EDIT: Kanye West, Akon & Ne-Yo have 4, too. Several have 3 (Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, Pitbull, Rihanna, Flo Rida).

[kmbgs]

What the hell is Down doing higher than MLWSWY. Hell, what the hell is ANYTHING doing higher than MLWSWY? Do we know how they tally this list?

[Cody Wants Out...]

WOW! :o I did not expect to see "3" as high as it is.

Usually the tag line at the end of the Z100 Top 100 playbacks says (paraphrasing): "The list is based on airplay, sales & requests in the New York Metropolitan area". That way Z100's covered & can adjust the list to their liking, not just using airplay/spin counts as the only factor in compiling the list. Airplay probably is the biggest variable in the mix (whether by play/spin count, chart position or both), followed by sales & requests.

Remember, when the list is played back on Z100, it's not announced as "The Top 100 Most Played Songs on Z100 in 2009". It's just the "Z100 Top 100 Songs Of 2009", giving the station leeway to tabulate the list as they choose. And this goes for vitually any radio station's "Top Songs" year-end list you'll hear (unless it's listener-selected/voted); the station reserves the right to slot titles in any position. Think back to the Z100 Top 100 year-end lists from 1993-1996 during their "Rock 40"/ alternative rock based Top 40 format phase. There were some rather strange songs & chart placements on those lists...

[jjgomez]

I love z100

[Black Jesus]

WOW @ MLWSWY!!! Kelly Clarkson is still a beast!!

[Mike]

So the actual most played song on Z100 was "My Life Would Suck Without You."

They should just report the list as it really is.

Edit: see my post below. I don't think they made that chart based on overall airplay

This can't be based on total airplay because HOW is ETDF ahead of Paparazzi? Or even in the Top 10 for that matter?

[Legoman]

This list is completel fancruft

Z100 has had ETDF on power rotation for over 3 months

[gin]

It's kind of disgusting how some flop songs have made the list but not "Angels On The Moon" which was a top 30 hit this year and paid tribute to New York City in the lyrics.

[wallace]

The list is opinion. The spins are data. The data says Kelly Clarkson had the most-played song on the biggest radio station in the country in 2009 (and #32 & 42 as well).

Not too shabby.

[Tony]

Yay, Top 10 for Jordin!

[kmbgs]

Theory: could this be based on average spins per month? Like take the total spins a song accrued divided by the amount of months it was played on the station? This would explain songs out longer (MLWSWY, Halo, RR, GYH) would be punished in that even if they were on power rotation for the first part of the year, when they were essentially removed from rotation, months still crept by, thus decreasing their spin/month average. Poker Face is the obivous exception, though I'd wager it's spin count remained steadier in the later months than RR and MLWSWY did.

[kellybcfan98]

OMG KELLY IS #1!! beast!!!

[pnobelysk]

really surprised to see feel your love on the list at all but top 50 ;)
