It's a weird station. It's a college station, but it's professionally run and has a massive reach. Their format is a little all over the place with lots of specialty programming (some of which is quite cool) but the default would be what you're seeing here - lots of folky adult alternative contemporary whatever you want to call it. But then out of the blue they'll play Teenage Riot or Ceremony or something like that.
They rarely play stuff like Taylor Swift and I feel reasonably confident that when they played Evanescence earlier, it was the first time they had ever played it.
I'm actually not a huge Cranberries fan - I like them just fine - but Zombie will definitely be coming up later. It's their most recognizable song and the weighty subject matter won't hurt it.
Based on their playlist search, Taylor has shown up, but usually playing with someone else, specifically the recent song with the National, and Bon Iver, but still infrequent. Rarely just her on her own, and 5 times
ever before 2020. The search goes back to at least July 31, 2010.
And you're right on Evanescence.
I feel confident about it, but I have default anxiety after the Losing My Religion injustice of 2020. I was just talking to someone about that when they didn't understand why I'd question that Fade Into You wouldn't made it. It didn't make it in 2020 either. And the list that year was not 885, it was 2,020.
I am wondering if Fast Car by Tracy Chapman gets in.... Especially with the country cover this year.
Oh yeah. Top 20 I'm betting.
I couldn't tell you what I think the top 20 songs are without having a list in front of me of what's not played, but that's coming.
