No test...So here's what I'm listening to...

I didn't put together a Music Test within the last week, so today, I'm going to talk about the songs I'm listening to, and I wrap today up with a fun contest announcement!

First...Here's what I'm listening to:

What's that? Can't quite see it? Well here, let me break it down and explain some of that stuff.

First...Here's the list in order of my personal preference:

1. Kutless - "What Faith Can Do" (85% - 15)
2. Phil Stacey - "You're Not Shaken" (75% - 14)
   
3. Chasen - "On and On" (75% - 15)
   
4. Switchfoot - "Mess of Me" (70% - 6)
   
5. VOTA - "Honestly" (70% - 17)
   
6. Remedy Drive - "Heartbeat" (70% - 12)
   
7. Building 429 - "Overcome"(60% - 14)
8. Robbie Seay Band - "Miracle" (55% - 11)
   
9. Mikeschair - "Let the Waters Rise" (55% - 11)
   

First off...The order is based on their percent, and the percent is based on after several listens, the chance I believe that song has of making its way to the Total Axxess part of JQ99's day.

Second...The number to the right of the percent...That's the play count. That's how many times I've listened through the song all the way through. iTunes doesn't count listening to a song halfway through as a play count.

Anyway...So that's the data I have to work with currently. No changes coming this week though, I'd like to let the songs currently in rotation soak a little.

Alright...Now...Time for a fun contest announcement. This is insider info, since it hasn't quite been released to anyone out side of the staff here at the station but...

Kutless has a new worship album releasing on October 20th. It's called, "It Is Well". My current #1 song that I've been listening to is from that album. Anyway...as they gear up for the release they would like to have some fun with our listeners!

Here's the idea. It may be tweaked, so keep that in mind. They would like to give away some copies of the new release with a grand prize of an Espresso Maker. If you didn't already know...Kutless if from Portland, and they love their coffee, so they thought that they'd share a little coffee love with a grand prize winner!

The contest will go down like this...Listeners...you...will be requested to simply write and submit what "Worship" means to you. We'll read over all the submissions and pull some winners. Pretty easy huh?

Anyway...Stay tuned for more details about that in the coming week or so!

That's all for today!
