For this week's tally, I admit I can't recall, Carprave, which continent you represent, so your hear of "Only Just Begun" will be recorded as general for now. Here is the count as of 1316 Pacific Time on January 27: -"Close To You"-4 (3 N.A., 1 U.K.) -"Only Just Begun"-3 (2 N.A., 1 general) -"Rainy Days & Mondays"-1 (N.A.) -"Only Yesterday"-1 (N.A.) -"It's Going To Take Some Time"-1 (N.A.) -"For All We Know"-1 (N.A.)

In the Los Angeles area we have a station called "Jack FM" they play anything from ABBA to Zeppelin, but mostly rock music tracks. So another station started up called "Jill FM" (get it-lol) They play soft rock and pop. Two weeks ago while at work "Top Of The World" came on. I nearly fell over. Aside from the Christmas songs, I cannot remember the last time I heard Caprenters on the radio.

I have heard Jack FM. You are right Carpenters don't get played much on the radio - but they get tons of play over piped in music - such as what you hear in the malls, retail stores and restaurants. I manage to hear Carpenters almost every time I go into my local Home Depot - of all places. Carpenters also get a good amount of internet radio airplay.
Despite their lack of radio airplay Carpenters are still extremely popular selling over 3 million discs yearly. since year 2000 Carpenters have sold over 20 million discs.
At that please add one hearing of "For All We Know" and one of "We've Only Just Begun" to the log.

Hey Rick! I'm in downtown Long Beach, not too far from you. We should do lunch someday! Jill FM is on 92.7. It's pretty good. They give you a good variety.

By the looks of it, the number of 'hears' is very slow going. It's a shame Carpenters aren't given more air time.

This is like code to me ... and, at times, I'm stumped by the game of it all. RDAM ... this one took me the longest this time ;-)

In the past week I heard Carpenters on three separate occasions. The songs played were:
We've Only Just Begun For All We Know Superstar

I will list the complete titles from this point. as of 1444 (Pacific time) on Friday, Feb. 23: "We've Only Just Begun"- 6 "Close To You"-4 "For All we Know"-3 "I Won't Last A Day Without You"-3 "Rainy Days And Mondays"-1 "Only Yesterday"-1 "Top Of The World"-1 "It's Going To Take Some Time"-1 "Superstar"-1

Yikes! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D And while I completely agree with that statement, WJ7, for me, I'm only listening to radio MAYBE a 1/2 hour a day, max. And, certainly not everyday at that. It's random on my end, for sure. I might go days listening to tapes or CD's in the car, but then I'll sometimes listen to the actual radio. So, having said that....the fact that in the past 3 weeks I've heard Carpenters 3 times in that short period may mean I'm either just a very lucky guy who's turned the radio on just at the right time, OR that Carpenters are getting a bit more airplay than I remember them having had for several years. I don't know how we can clearly look at and guage this to make it more accurate?? Ideas anyone??? Just a thought..... Tim ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
