Not that much marked new this week, so I didn’t report the charts this week. But here is what was played, ignore the rankings, except for the first four they were all tied and are in alphabetical order.


Local Curtis C takes the # 1 spot this week, followed closely by JGarrett (local-ish Vancouver) and Chris Potter. I’m sure Chris lives in a nice place too but I don’t have that info at the moment. :-)

Nice to see all the good local stuff high up in the charts this week
#1 Joan Wallace
#2 CurtisC

A good percentage of the top 10 are bands that played live in the studio during the reporting period. No surprise there. Most were not in the earshot database…they are now :-) Hopefully our chart support starts some national buzz.

Sorry for not posting last week’s chart. It is now up in the chart archive (click the button that says charts on the right side of this page) but it was never on the front page as it should have been.
This week the other Ide No More compilation Vol.2 takes the #1 spot, followed by Frightened Rabbit and Theo Massop’s new project Boodaboom. Could not figure out if we have a pre-release version or if it is actually released. Let’s just call it “available very soon”, I mean now is very soon right, so I’m covered :-)

Boy am I happy I only have to do this once a year. This is a relatively “unbuffered” listing, normally we limit the number of plays we count in one show (prevents a complete CD play from dominating the charts).
Stats:
total songs played in the year: 30,000
total plays of new releases: 1800, (961 Cancon, 847 other)
Most played new CD was played 51 times this year.
