Yes I rate the songs as I can, but now they have made it hard to even request a song. I think they only let any song be played 2 times a day. I asked about the charts question on their forum a while back, this is part of the answer I got.
"Concerning requests. Very recently, we have put limits in place. We had DA being played more than our top 'current' songs. People would request the same song all day long. Often the same person would be the culpret. This was messing up our charts with currents and giving scewed data."
I told them that was because they only had one DA tune at the time. And they said to get the songs on the big Chart the songs had to be current and be played on national radio. MBD is current, but not played much on regular radio. But I think if they are going to have a chart system based on what they play, it should reflect songs that are requested. I guess they don't agree with me though.
Most of the time now I can't even request the DA or SE tunes that I want to hear because they have been played too much that day. I know I'm not the only one requesting them either, but they still wont put them in the charts.
I think I'm going to boycott that station!
oh wait, if I do that then I wont be able to get DA played so others will find the true way, the DA way. I must keep being a pain in the burro to that station. We've already made them change some of the rules because of us, we might as well stick around and be a pain.
