Why the hell does Tim think "Happy" by Pharrell is a Relaxing Favorite??
It needs to go.

That's a song for WDVD
You heard that, too? I was pulling into the garage as it was starting. Rather odd choice, I agree, but probably tests well enough.
It's been in the playlist since December 28th.
I just didn't feel like making a fuss over it until now.
Its getting very annoying

But yes, the song has tested well.
But does that mean it belongs on The Breeze? No!

I'm at an Urgent Care atm

They have 98.1 The Breeze in S.F.
on in the waiting room, lol.

They must also think our Breeze is crap.

KISQ is my favorite soft AC station. They chose good

Since you mentioned KISQ, let's look at what artists the other Breeze stations around the country play the most.

Here are the Top5 most played artist on several Breeze stations based on weekly spins.

KISQ - San Francisco
1. Madonna
2. Phil Collins
3. Whitney Houston
4. Billy Joel
5. Adele

KBEB - Sacramento
1. Whitney Houston
2. Madonna
3. Phil Collins
4. Michael Jackson
5. Air Supply

WISX - Philadelphia
1. Billy Joel
2. Elton John
3. Madonna
4. Michael Jackson
5. Air Supply

WFEZ - Miami
1. Madonna
2. Whitney Houston
3. Phil Collins
4. Air Supply
5. Lionel Richie


All these stations are getting great ratings. WDZH needs to copy them if it wants to be successful and stop playing the same random songs that don't test well at all over and over again.

The Breeze completely copied just half of KISQ's playlist on launch and continued to have a 3-4 hour song rotation until they expanded on it in late November, using suggestions (pretty much all mine, LMAO) in the requests thread, before completely destroying the playlist on December 28

I honestly suggest to anyone that wants a good Soft AC station to listen to 94.1 The Sound in Seattle.
They know what they are doing. Incredible playlist.

The ratings of the iHeart Breezes show that iHeart knows how to get good ratings. The stations became instant successes.

Ratings for WDZH in Detroit have been disastrous so far and those in the industry who get weekly updates know that in February the numbers were bad too.

Entercom is a great company, but at the moment it looks like the Detroit cluster is a big mess. WOMC is going down fast too.

Yes, Sam we have it on right this minute, Kim loves that station. That’s an Entercom Station and that is what The Breeze should sound like.

I wonder if The Breeze is going to drop Michael Jackson like WNIC did with all the documentary drama.

Why in the world are they playing that "Paula Cole - I Don't Want To Wait" song all the time? What is wrong with them?

Some of the songs they play all the time are poison when it comes to research.

It's a prefect song for the station.
That's why.


If you want to listen to the same 200 songs that "test well" for the rest of your life, go listen to iHeart.

Detroit313,
How do you feel about "No One Else On Earth (Club Mix)" by Wynonna Judd for The Breeze ?
