Top Charts
Over the course of the year, Radio Boise DJs hand-curate their playlists to feature their style and tone. However, when you look back at our reporting library, trends emerge. This list of 40 albums illustrate the artists we played the most in our free-form way!
(note from the “kid” who manages our monthly charts: I tried contorting numbers in every way possible (one spin per show, number of different DJs spinning, slight weighting to account for differing release dates, comparative points system based on top ten placements in the weekly charts…) to see if anyone other than The French Tips should be #1. But still, they totally ran away with it in every way of looking at things. What I did end up with was a pretty decent formula to determine to pretty accurately put every release in its correct place to represent what someone would most likely hear tuning in at any random time…. )
