@somevelvetblog.bsky.social 's "secret" is out. At this very moment, on @wxpnfm.bsky.social he's playing Yes's "Round About" from the album "Fragile" just a few days after he listened to it in his Album A Day Music Diary. There it is #XPNfam, in blue and white. :-) #XPN

#WXPfam Here's all the newly released albums- in 2024 that @somevelvetblog.bsky.social listened to in his Dec. Album-A-Day diary. He's dropping tunes from his fav lps of 2024 on #WXPN Did you hear any of these today?
December 21, 2024 at 6:49 PM
adding screen shot of the image to pique your interest. ;-)
December 21, 2024 at 4:54 PM
And here you can see Planet Claire w 113 airplays is in top 1860 ish songs. It's at the top of list above the Top 30 songs. Only showing top of image b/c full list of 1,860 is too long.
Looking at top artists rather than songs or albums might be more informative b/c it captures artists w many songs.
December 10, 2024 at 1:16 AM
Here you go DavB. @wxpnfm.bsky.social has played lots of variety of @theb52sband.bsky.social 's, ~6+ albums & ~35+ songs. It's played #B52-2s a total of 913 times since Mar 2013.

"Planet Claire" played ~12% of those times w 112 airplays.

"Roam" gets top spot on #WXPN having been played 120x.
December 9, 2024 at 11:40 PM
Thx, Here's a list of all song titles played at 00:58 or 00:59 of the hour, AND that have been played at least 35 times. Only 29 songs in 11 years meet that criteria. If we look at songs played 1x there are 10,000+. I think Sappy Syrup starts at 00:00 of the hour < 1 min & thus not in this list.
December 9, 2024 at 3:43 AM
Yes. 263 times in total. See below.
Do you have a sense if the songs on the album named "Ii" and in roman numeral ii, really are on the album named "Meat Puppets Ii" I suspect there's some dirty data in there.263
December 9, 2024 at 3:20 AM
Thanks, I found a few more that follow a similar path to Syrup. Steady Up, and then a clear stop. "Forty-Eight" is likely the "fill" song at the end of Blues Dimension b/c it's always played at 12:58am on Sunday.
I haven't checked the other two shown below.
December 8, 2024 at 10:30 PM
Ok @kristenkurtis.bsky.social @djrobertdrake.bsky.social & @asudell.bsky.social We can "blame" Johnny Meister. Answr, looks like it's Blue Dimensions intro song. Data has it at 12:05a each Sun & then...Ta Da! There's Johnny. Luv his show btw. He introd me 2 Barbara Deinerlien's amzng organ music.
December 8, 2024 at 8:43 PM
Tx 4 the catch. KK. #AnalyticsIsTeamSport I have to compare what's in my data vs the online playlist. The data set, which does some light processing of the playlist, shows Syrup Sopping being played 1ce every 7 days from 3/10/13 to 9/26/21. That's an unexpected pattern. Here are some deets.
December 8, 2024 at 7:20 PM
Okay #XPNfam in listening to 21st Century #XPNcountdown I wonder how many, if any, of the songs @wxpnfm.bsky.social has played the most since 2013 will make the Countdown. Here's #WXPN 's TOP 40 songs by airplays. They have at least 394 plays. Is "Home" the same song? 53 diff't artists have sung it.
December 8, 2024 at 4:39 AM
And for good measure, here's the total lifetime airplays for each song by album. Albums are sorted descending by total airplays. So we can see that the one song #WXPN plays from Lateralus, got more airplays than any other song.
