Is any Full Signal Chicago radio station actually playing the new Rolling Stones "Angry" single?

Is WDRV breaking format to do it? WXRT? I think past that, no one will touch it.

I rarely listen to XRT but I'm told that they play it all the time.

Thanks Media Reader. I truly believe there is no other signal that will even touch it.

The irony? The Top 10 is dominated by older spoken, music or foreign language formats, even the Mix is not a younger demo station..... yet no one can fit it in to their format. Sad.

WXRT does absolutely. AAA is generally very friendly toward new songs from artists like this.

And AAA or true AAA stations do not exist in most markets anymore.

Jeremy you can be sure, there are markets that will never play this as they are so niched.

You have bands that can sell nosebleeds for 300 and fill up the whole stadium, but can't get 1 spin a week in most of the Top 100 markets.

AAA is common in certain cities. Chicago I believe is the largest market to have a commercial AAA station.

In many cases it is a non commercial format. Has a lot of success on the non commercial side of things in Minneapolis with The Current. I believe Prince was a fan. They would sometimes play his new music when others would not.

But otherwise they are generally the first if any to play these kinds of new songs. The audience for these stations are generally passionate about music.

Mediabase on AllAccess.com shows song played five times in past 7 days.
I don't know when song was released.

I carefully reviewed the playlist of Rock 95-5 since Monday and there is no record of "Angry" by The Rolling Stones being played.

To be clear, I checked that station's playlist through their website. Unknown how accurate it is.

I am not doubting anyone who has heard it or has seen evidence that Stones song was played.

What I did see is a station in need of an overhaul. It's a musical mess. If they bill well, more power to them.

I have heard "Angry" several times on WXRT which I would expect. They're likely the only full-power FM station which plays new rock. Q101? Maybe.

Hi Hunter,

The website is not accurate. You have to check Mediabase. They are the reputable source on keeping track of spins in major markets.

Rock 955 is trying to get Female numbers. I have no proof, I think they try to sell this with WLIT? Trying to keep the fading classic rock pre 70s, the hair phase of the 80s and combining the Female Friendly Alternative 90s period. Not my thing, all the best of luck to them.

Looking back, they could have launched something different to flank KISS and knock down B96 a bit more. 🤷🏻‍♂️ What do I know?

They market 93.9, 95.5 and 103.5 together from what I have seen
