AC won’t turn the light on….
I believe that Magic Rainbow is hogging AC. [I must admit that Magic Rainbow's tenacity amuses me to bits. In addition to ruling AC, it has pushed its way back up into the 70s on itunes. Heh.] I also must admit that I’m not particularly fussed about AC—it tends to add more slowly than some of the other formats, plus the “lots of Christmas music” time is coming up, so the number of spins available on AC will be lower in about a month.
I’m intrigued to see the rock adds tomorrow. A Chicago station added LO a couple of weeks ago but hasn’t appeared to be playing it much, if at all. But a St. Louis rock station has been playing it 1-2 times a day.
folk fan… chicago is picky.. two of chicago stations played crush then suddenly dropped it like a hot potato… theres still one that plays it though… Hopefully LO has better luck there… haha
Most songs rise on the AC chart after their initial runs on other charts like Hot AC, rock and top 40. Unless, that is, the song is made for AC radio (like a Journey or Celine Dion song). Daughtry’s What About Now and Jordin’s One Step at a Time are just now rising on AC and are in the 20s. Crush is actually a little odd in that it rose on AC at the same time and pace as it did on pop. There are still a lot of AC stations that haven’t added it, but the ones that have are playing it about as much as they ever play any current song. I’m a little shocked–I never thought it would do that well on AC, but it looks like it could go top 5 in the format, and possibly even #1 eventually. Depends on whether AC continues the trend.
I suspect that Light On will probably enter the AC charts once it’s more established on Hot AC.
Yes, but you forgot that we’re praying to the spin gods for them to put Crush back into their rotation. lol.
I hear Crush in Chicago all the time. WTMX has it in high rotation and 102.3 WXLC plays it quite a bit as well. I thought I heard it a few times on B96 and KissFM 103.5, but I don’t listen to those station too often, so I’m not sure what they’re playing right now.
That’s part of it, but I also think LO is just too hard– even for a power ballad– for many AC stations.
