There's another one of those
charters on one station and not
on the other.
#12 on KFXM and nowhere to
be found on KMEN:
Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep.
Great great tune and never
heard from again. Good rockin
tune. Nothing heavy, just
a catchy song.

So why so popular on KFXM and
no honorable mentions at all on
KMEN?? This has happened throughout the history of pop music all over the US. Isolated
hits.

i can personally testify to the fact that a certain music director absolutely HATED that catchy little ditty by Mac and Katie Kassoon and simply would NOT allow it on to the playlist" of his 'Truckin' station... i was blown over hearing this admission after continually hearing how "objective our music surveys are than the 'other station's"!
just an example that despite so-called objectivity from various program and music directors throughout the nation, a lot of recordings were either added or "weighed down" due to the PERSONAL preferences of the radio people including are our own local music programmers. tis sad but, true, nonetheless.
