WHAT'S GOING ON (at the beginning of March)

At a recent bed-in at the KJRW studios (It's a thing.  See: John and Yoko.), it was decided that it was time to come out from Under the Covers. And since March is Women in History month, KJRW honors  Women Who Rock. Linda Perry, Kathleen Hanna, Kathi Wilcox, Tobi Vail, Kat Bjelland, Allison Wolfe, Chrissie Hynde, Debbie Harry, Kim Deal, Siouxsie Sioux, Polly Styrene, Kathy Valentine, Gina Schock, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Coffey, Karen O., Courtney Love,  Patty Schemel, Joan Jett, Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker, Patti Smith, Kim Gordon, Shirley Manson, Alison Mosshart, Tina Weymouth, Exene Cervenka, Kim Warnick, Poison Ivy, Kristen Hersh, Tanya Donnelly,  Kim Shattuck,  Johnette Napolitano,  Brody Dalle, Beth Ditto, Jennifer Finch, Lita Ford, Nina Gordon, Juliana Hatfield,  Annie Lennox,  Aimee Mann, Donita Sparks, Suzi Gardner, Dee Plakas, Selene Vigil, Mia Zapata, Stefanie Sargent, Elizabeth Davis, Sandy West, Valerie Agnew and many more.

Let's take a quick look back at February.  As you may recall, January was the best month ever for KJRW.  We kept the momentum going in February.  Even though our rank clicked down a couple notches due to a few less streams being launched, the average amount of time people spent listening to the station was the highest ever. In other words, a slightly smaller amount of people pressed the play button, but when they did they stuck around longer.  And you know, "the longer you listen, the more songs you hear".
People listened the most in the U.S., Sweden, Canada, Brazil, Spain, Mexico, Poland, Germany, Republic of Korea and Italy.  Inside the U.S., listeners spent the most time with KJRW in our home base of Seattle, WA; Dallas, TX; Cincinnati, OH; Los Angeles, CA; Tampa, FL; Philadelphia, PA; Atlanta, GA; Denver, CO; New York, NY and Beaumont, TX.

Your favorite songs at the end of February included 4 Get Under the Covers tunes:
  1. My Generation - Green Day
  2. Radar Love - Ministry
  3. Merchandise - Fugazi
  4. House of the Rising Sun - Adolescents
  5. Underground - Sneaker Pimps
  6. Nearly Lost You - Screaming Trees
  7. Violet - Hole
  8. Sheena Is A Punk Rocker - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
  9. The Hardest Button To Button - White Stripes
  10. Bittersweet Symphony - Verve
