Playlists

Each week KUOI's music director tallies all of the new music that's been aired and makes a list of the station's top 30 albums. This is called a playlist. Music promoters refer to a song off a new album, that's been aired on a station, as a spin. If an album gets a lot of spins, it's a sign to the record company that the band is doing well. In a sense, DJs are voting for the albums they like- what you spin matters!

Upward Bound DJs will post their playlists to this blog, and they'll be contributing to KUOI's playlist. KUOI's playlists are sent to record label promoters, the College Music Journal, which compiles college radio playlists from across the nation, and Dusted Magazine, who also combines playlists from various radio stations.

Summary:
• Top 30 charts are compiled every Monday from the playlists over the last week.
• Playlists are stored in the blue folder, submitted in the beige folder behind the blue folder.
• Numerical/library codes are required for new music exclusively.
• If no new music is played then playlists needn’t be turned in.
• The ONLY required data is library no., band, and track number.
• You may write more information on the playlist, and you may write every song you list to tell the listeners what you’ve been playing; but only record a library no. for new music.
