KDHX Charts for 01.27.09

I’m delighted to announce that we will now be posting KDHX’s new music charts on a weekly basis!

KDHX creates new release airplay charts for the College Music Journal and Americana Music Association every week. These charts help artists and promoters better understand where they are getting airplay, what songs are attracting attention, and can be an excellent predictor of artist success in general.

I’ll probably be playing with the formatting of these for the first few posts, so bear with me!
