Here's a playlist for you. As you can see, it's from a station owned
by Clear Channel. They aren't playing ten songs. I see artists that
range in ages from 19 (Jessica Andrews) to 50 (Brooks & Dunn) This
list shows only the currents that the station is playing.
You might notice two unfamiliar song titles. That's because this
station is playing songs that are not official singles. This station
is playing first singles by three new artists. Randy Travis is in
heavy rotation. This is one of the most listened-to radio stations in
this town.
Tell me what's wrong with this playlist.
