Station Top 50 of 2023

Ranking Strategy: total spins – adjusted at one per show and number of different DJs

Death Valley Girls were far ahead in every category, and the only one with over 20 different DJs having spun it. I don’t have quick spreadsheet type access to all the top tens, but I can pretty much promise if there were on any top ten between last November and June, usually in the top five, and way more number ones than anyone else. So that’s about as landslide as it gets, French Tips and Blood Lemon style.

The rest seems pretty much the way it should be as well.
