Atlanta radio’s biggest songs of 2009

8:05 am December 22, 2009, by Rodney Ho

If you’re loyal to any of the particular radio stations below, here are the songs you heard the most from each station.

Averaged over an entire year, some stations (such as the Beat and Star 94) played a song nearly 3,000 times or 8 times a day. For others, such as V-103, it’s more like 1,000 times.

The two top 40 stations (Star and Q100) played the Fray to death. And Shinedown was popular on both rock and pop stations. Urban stations loved Jamie Foxx's "Blame It." On both the Bull and Kicks, north Georgia's own Zac Brown Band had the most played song of the year.
