Adele's "Hello" arrived too late in the year to make it on the year-end charts. This left the likes of Fetty Wap, Maroon 5, Taylor Swift and Future to lead in airplay this year on Atlanta radio on various radio stations.
On the hip-hop stations, you couldn't escape Rich Homie Quan, Wale and the Weeknd.
On the pop stations, it was all about Swift, Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding.
Country music couldn't get enough of Georgians Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan.
