Now that I've used up all my "listening priveleges" for the month on Yahoo! Radio, I'm entertaining myself by listening to WPOC and counting how many times they play songs by Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Montgomery Gentry and Tim McGraw. Right now, as of 2:27 p.m., these four artists are locked in a DEAD HEAT with 3 songs played by each. Who is going to pull into the lead?
Judging by today's programming trends, Chesney is poised to take over sole possession of first place. I'll be sure to keep you updated, as I'm sure you are all on the edge of your seats as I am.
*Update 2:51 p.m.: In the spirit of March Madness, I was hoping for a monumental upset, but WPOC has stayed true to its predictable form. Kenny Chesney has taken a craptacular one-song lead over the other three competitors.
*Update 3:07 p.m.: Add another checkmark next to Toby Keith's name, he is now tied with Chesney at 4.
*Update 3:16 p.m.: Montgomery Gentry scores again. This leads me to boldly predict a Tim McGraw song in the near future.
*Update 4:22 p.m.: Tim McGraw has officially been left in the dust. Kenny Chesney breaks away from the pack once again, leading with 5 songs played since 10 a.m.
*Update 4:53 p.m.: A shocking turn of events! (Yeah, not really.) WPOC plays its fifth Montgomery Gentry song of the day. Final update coming in mere minutes.
Okay, at the end of the day it looks like a tie between Chesney and Montgomery Gentry, two mediocre country acts that everyone else seems to love for some reason. Bleh.
I think I may email my findings to the Program Director and see what he thinks about it all. Not much, probably, but it would warm my snarky heart to do it.

Come on Tim McGraw....you can do it!! Do it for Faith Hill!!
I thought the artist didn't matter with country music, because it's all the same song. And if you play it backwards, the cowboy sobers up and gets his wife and pickup back.
