12/5: Top radio songs of the year
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Here are the most played songs at various music stations in Atlanta this year, courtesy of Mediabase 24/7. This is a bit of an artificial conceit since songs that happen to be released midway through the year are at a disadvantage since they don’t have enough time to generate enough spins to be the top song of the year. If a song gets released, say, in November of the year before, it has a shot to get a year’s worth of spins.
But I love year-end stuff so here ya go — along with the top artists for each station based on total plays of songs by those artists. Those core artists do convey in a broader way what you hear on that station.
Kiss 104.1: “Float On” by the Floaters from 1977 (Luther Vandross, O’Jays, Isley Brothers, Anita Baker, Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass, Al Green, Maze/Frankie Beverly)
Grown Folks 102.5: “Just Fine” Mary J. Blige (Mary J. Blige, Luther Vandross, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Earth, Wind & Fire, Jaheim, Raheem Devaughn, Keyshia Cole, Michael Jackson, Anita Baker)
V-103: “I Remember” Keyshia Cole (Keyshia Cole, Lil Wane, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, T.I., Usher, Kanye West, Plies, Young Jeezy, Chris Brown)
Hot 107.9: “Put On” Young Jeezy (Lil Wayne, T.I., Shawty Lo, Plies, Young Jeezy, Usher, Rick Ross, Rocko, T-Pain, The-Dream)
Kicks 101.5: “Just Got Started Lovin’ You” James Otto (Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Rascall Flatts, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, George Strait, Montgomery Gentry, Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson, Sugarland)
94.9/The Bull: “Small Town Southern Man” Alan Jackson (Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Rascall Flatts, George Strait, Brad Paisley, Brooks & Dunn, Sugarland, Keith Urban, Garth Brooks)
Star 94:”Stop and Stare” OneRepublic (Daughtry, Rihanna, Jordin Sparks, Fergie, Leona Lewis, Pink, Nickelback, Maroon 5, Natasha Bedingfield, Lifehouse)
Q100: “Stop and Stare” OneRepublic (Rihanna, Jordin Sparks, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake, Natasha Bedingfield, Daughtry, Maroon 5, Fergie, Colbie Caillat, Leona Lewis)
95.5/The Beat: “Love in This Club:” Usher (Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Plies, T.I., Usher, Flo Rida, Webbie, T-Pain, J. Holiday)
Rock 100.5: “Long Road to Ruin” Foo Fighters (Van Halen, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Foo Fighters, Def Leppard, Pink Floyd, Stone Temple Pilots)
Project 9-6-1: “Psycho” by Puddle of Mudd (Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, Nirvana, Stone Temple Piots, Seether, Three Days Grace, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Puddle of Mudd)
Praise 97.5: “Never Would Have Made It” by Marvin Sapp (Kirk Franklin, Hezekiah Walker, Marvin Sapp, Israel & New Breed, J Moss, Clark Sisters, Mary Mary, Bishop Morton, Myron & Levi Butler, Yolanda Adams)
B98.5: “Big Girls Don’t Cry” Fergie (Kelly Clarkson, Madonna, Daughtry, Nickelback, Prince, Journey, Fergie, John Mayer, Fray, Billy Joel)
97.1/The River: Close call among several songs such as Van Halen’s “Dance the Night Away,” Doobie Brothers’ “Black Water,” Foreigner’s “Hot Blooded,” Steve Miller’s “Swingtown” and Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion,” to name a few. (Eagles, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Steve Miller, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Supertramp, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Foreigner)
Dave FM: “Shut Your Eyes” Snow Patrol (R.E.M., Counting Crows, U2, Coldplay, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews Band, Police, Sheryl Crow, Goo Goo Dolls)
Smooth Jazz 107.5: “Tequila Moon” by Jessy J (Sade, Boney James, Kenny G, Anita Baker, Paul Hardcastle, Euge Groove, Marvin Gaye, Norman Brown, Paul Taylor, Stevie Wonder)
True Oldies 106.7: Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl,” Zombies’ “Time of the Season” and Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” are in a close call. Each song averages a spin two out of every three days or so. (Beatles, Beach Boys, Supremes, Rolling Stones, Temptations, Elvis Presley, Four Seasons, Stevie Wonder, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Four Tops)
104.7/The Fish: -a virtual three-way tie among “Love is Here” by Tenth Avenue North, “Call My Name’ by Third Day and “Your Grace is Enough” by Matt Maher. (Third Day, Jeremy Camp, Chris Tomlin, Mercyme, Casting Crowns, Steven Curtis Chapman, Switchfoot, Lifehouse, Kutless, Craig & Dean Phillips)

12/4: NeNe Leakes bites back
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On the Bravo Web site, NeNe Leakes denies she was evicted. In the email exchanges we had with her Tuesday, she never said she wasn’t evicted and that she left voluntarily. And our story never said she was evicted.
We did say for a fact she left the house and that there was an eviction notice placed on the house because her husband hadn’t been paying the rent. That eviction notice is real and a fact. If they did leave on their own accord, why did they fall behind in the rent? That is left unanswered.
Anyway, here is what she says:
“The recent rumors alleging that my family faced an eviction are a huge misunderstanding and grossly inaccurate. I am truly blessed to enjoy a wonderful life and lifestyle. We have indeed moved to another home, but we did so on our own free will. We live in an absolutely beautiful home and we are fortunate to be able to live in the place of our choice. Unfortunately, there are many families who are facing real foreclosures and real evictions. That is not and never was the case with us. I know where we live and how we live, and for those blessings I am humbly thankful. It is disappointing that many members of the media have chosen to report gossip instead of news. Without wasting time on the details, the only thing I will say is that we were NOT evicted. Everybody knows that I like to be honest, real and upfront. If something was wrong, I would tell you! Thank you for your well wishes. However, please know that my family continues to be abundantly blessed, and that Miss NeNe has not skipped a beat!”
A lot of gossip blogs, not reading our story that carefully, unequivocally said she was evicted. So there ya go. I wish she had been a bit more straightforward with me but such is life. We’ll see how life goes with her when Bravo starts taping season two. (Sure, Bravo hasn’t said it has committed to a season two but that’s a virtual fait accompli.)
