An LN isn't the same as a Katrina.

An LN is a song that gets significant airplay outside of 10@10, that is.

A Katrina is a song with too many 10@10 appearances.

There are some songs that qualify as both.

indeed. I freely admit that my LN bar is quite low, just from listening to all the other 10@10s (see: the Drive and "Dreadlock Holiday"). But we're also talking KFOG/K-FOX/Live 105 regular rotation when we're talking LNs.  And "Red Rain" shows up often enuf on KFOG (in my experience, YMMV) to make it unnecessary for me.

Ah.  I thought a LN was just a FF that had crossed over the line of being played too much,
within the bounds of 10@10.

Despite hardly ever listening to the radio outside of 10@10, I, too, have heard Red Rain a bit in
recent weeks.  Probably post-10@10.  So the LN call seemed reasonable to me, and I was
surprised how little it had actually been played on 10@10.
