Adam Rivers, WKCI: “As It Was,” “Sunroof,” “About Damn Time.” Honorable mention to every Doja Cat song.
Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: “About Damn Time,” “Running Up That Hill,” “Sunroof.” Honorable mention to “Wasted On You,” which I think will be a massive hit, it’s just not there yet. Josh Wolff, WAEB: “Sunroof,” “Break My Soul,” “I Like You.” Jeremy Rice, WXXL: “Sunroof,” “Running Up That Hill,” “About Damn Time.”
Jon Zellner, iHeartMedia: “As It Was,” “About Damn Time,” “Sunroof.” Honorable mention, “Big Energy.” Mike O’Donnell, WKRZ: “I Ain’t Worried,” “Sunroof,” “I Like You.” |
Bob Patrick, WXLK: “As It Was,” “About Damn Time,” “Sunroof.” Honorable mention to “Betty (Get Money).” Joey Brooks, WKSS: “Sunroof,” “Big Energy,” “Late Night Talking.” Java Joel, WHBC: “As It Was,” “About Damn Time” and “Running Up That Hill” – (even though most PDs b*tched and moaned about having to play it, or worse yet played the sh*tty edit- even with the huge metrics staring them right in the face, but I digress!). Honorable mention(s) to “Sunroof” and “Numb Little Bug”.
Valentine, WBHT: “As It Was,” “Sunroof,” “About Damn Time.” Jack Harlow was a close fourth. These all require the radio to be turned up and the windows must be down. Jagger, KCHZ: “About Damn Time,” “Sunroof,” “As It Was,” with an honorable mention to Jack Harlow. Heather Deluca, WSJO: “Heat Waves,” “About Damn Time,” “Running Up That Hill” and honorable mention to (TIE) between “As It Was” and “Sunroof.” |
Erik Bradley, WBBM: “As It Was,” “About Damn Time,” “Sunroof.” Honorable mention(s): Pop: “First Class,” Viral: “Gravy” and Country: “Like I Love Country Music.”
Drew Heyman, WHYI: “Numb” felt like that cliche summer record. Top down, volume up all summer long with this one. “As It Was” breath of fresh air. As Programmers sift through TikTok and heavy streaming songs, Harry remains consistent. Thank God for Harry Styles – he drops hit after hit, kid is a National Treasure. “Sunroof” this one hit Tiktok and Instragram HARD and was one of the few that transitioned well to radio.
Jammer, WEZB: “As It Was,” “Sunroof,” “About Damn Time.” Honorable mention to “Running Up That Hill.”
