Vertigo has hit Detroit!!!

[erised]

Heard it on 88.7 FM (89X) this morning!!!

Well, they haven't played Vertigo here as much as I would like

But it has made the station's top 20 hit list already:

Wow, look at some of the crap on that list ...

Eek! I spoke too soon... they just played it!

They're doing the Top 9 at 9... it was the number 8 requested song of the day... could be better, but when they only play it a few times the entire day, how are people supposed to hear it?

89x does tend to play crap, although that wasn't always the case.

Anyway, tonight I was sitting in my room when I decided to see if I could find it on the radio. I turned it on, and lo and behold, it was just ending on WRIF, which, to those of you who live in Detroit, aren't especially known for playing U2. I thought that was kinda cool.

you guys should really request your radio stations (by email/phone) if they aren't playing it enough.. im in toronto turned on the radio last night, not even sure what station it was at but the first thing i heard was the radio DJ saying that they were playing Vertigo at least once every hour.. all the major radio stations love U2 over here, so I have no worries

I have been requesting it via e-mail... doesn't seem to make a difference though.

I'm a couple hours north of Detroit, and I'll be shocked if I hear much of "Vertigo" here at all. Stupid stations. I only hear old U2 goodies on the classic rock station.

I heard it on 96.3 yesterday, I'll have to program 89X and WRIF too

Vertigo is now at #5 on this station's hitlist! Should be higher!

PopAngel-- you're right. I remember 89X being the greatest station ten years ago when I was in high school. I left town and it went to hell.

Before the Internet was so popular and you could download or stream albums and sneak tracks, I remember 89X playing Zooropa in its entirety at 11pm the night before the album was released. I still have the notes I wrote as I heard each song played for the first time.

Ah...the good old days. now when I'm home, it's either flipping between 89X, 96.3 and whatever CDs my parents have around.

Hey sharky! If you ever mentioned that you are originally from MI, I don't remember - what city are you from?

 

[sharky]

I have before but I live in NYC now. Originally from the Detroit burbs.

Update - Vertigo is now number 1 on 88.7 for the Top 9 at 9

 

[womanfish]

I used to live near detroit in the late 80's and early 90's. 89X was indeed the greatest station in the country at that time. Now they suck just as bad as every other "new rock alternative" station. let em hear your requests!

P.S. - It's number 1 on their hitlist now.

Yay!!
