Radio Margaritaville playlist

[Channel98]

I’ve been wasting away again, compiling the playlist for Radio Margaritaville. Here is a 500-song sample. Dashes denote non-charting singles. “UR” designated songs which remained unreleased for many years or, in the case of some of Buffett’s live recordings, have never been commercially released.

That's a lotta Bufett....

 

[Channel98]

And, lest anyone think I misspelled a song title, Buffet Hotel is correct. The song was inspired by a hotel and train station that Jimmy saw in Timbuktu, Mali,

That's for effing sure! Who knew he recorded so many songs? Over 300 of his tracks on there! And who sits and listens to a station that's 80% one guy who had 5 top 40s in a five year span*

*(excludes 2 top 40 guest appearances post-2K and a top 40 charity single with 100 other people)

Maybe they are all looking for their lost shaker of salt.

Me.

In late spring/ early summer, we would put it on every Sunday morning. It's mellow but fun. I can name a hundred other artists who have a massive popular catalog but only a few radio hits. Phish would be one. But Buffet's (original) greatest hits album has 13 songs that any fan would know. And, like Phish, he's known for his live concerts, where he does a bunch of covers. The channel is good for a morning listen, like 3 hours max.

You know, they have channels on SXM that are 95% dedicated to one artist. I don't listen to any of them, but they're apparently popular. And I'd say the Buffet station is more like 66%/33%.

 

[sadchild]

Fair enough. I didn't realize it was a "dedicated JB station." I thought it was supposed to be another regular station like "Little Steven's Underground Garage" with various artists, but JB just loaded it up with his stuff. If LSUG was 70% LS songs, I'd have said basically the same thing.

Yeah, I think the full name of the channel is Jimmy Buffett's Radio Margaritaville. The reason I/we find it listenable is that almost half of the songs are someone else, from Jack Johnson to Bob Marley to UB40. And then Buffett does so many covers and duets and rearranged live songs that it's not just the same ones over and over. Also, the "playlist" shows all the different versions and arrangements of songs that Buffett performs, vs. the sole versions of other performers' songs. So it appears to be Buffett-heavy, but the actual airplay is more balanced.

 

[scotchandcigar]

Here is an actual airplay sample. Out of 24 songs, 9 are by Buffett. So that's much less than 50%, let alone 80%.

For all 36 songs listed that start with "B", only 7 aren't Buffet's. So 78% of the "B" songs are his (on the playlist posts anyway)

My understanding is that the playlists Channel98 post are just representative samples of the complete repertoire for a channel. So they don't define the entirety of what is played, nor does the playlist represent the actual on-air mix and frequency of the songs. So while there are a million Buffett songs on the list, it gives no indication of the percentages of airplay.

If you look at other SXM channels, such as The Spectrum, they have a formula. The Spectrum has a list of "legacy" artists that they will play at some precise interval. So, for U2, they might have a 16-song-deep playlist that they pull from, but the frequency is once an hour. And for Talking Heads, it might also be once an hour, but the list is 10 songs deep. Maybe Dave Matthews Band is played once every 2 hours, and the list is 20 songs deep.

So my point is that the playlist doesn't tell you how often certain songs are played, just how deep the "well" is, so they can avoid repeats. Since they play Buffett more than any other artist on Margaritaville, he has the deepest list of songs in the playlist.
