I sure seem to be hearing a lot more Alannis Moreupset the last couple days as well.
I think she's doing a KFOG private concert or some s***. Saw her mug on the KFOG front door carousel this am.
They're giving away 5-4-3-2-1st row tix this week. They played "Thank You" this morning, which they totally ignored when it was a "hit".
Huh, strange, my database doesn't show them EVER playing "Thank U". Maybe it's not in their computer?
But at any rate, you've actually been hearing *less* of Alanis. Her new album "Flavors of Enganglement" dropped in the US on June 10, but holy crap somebody at KFOG really loves that "Underneath" track. KFOG got the advanced track sometime in April, and from May to July, they played it 46-47 times a month. In August they only played it 13 times, and it hasn't been played at all since then.
Prior to April, older Alanis tracks ("You Oughta Know", "Hand In My Pocket", "Ironic" and "You Learn") were getting played an average of slightly more than once a day. During the "Entanglement" push, that bumped to 2.5 Alanis songs/day.
September saw an all-time low of Alanis spins, with only 18 for the whole month. But we were back up to 28 in October.
So I guess yes, there is a recent uptick in spins of Alanis, but compared to the crazy marketing of her new album over the summer, it's not out of the ordinary.
[Notes: 1) my playlist capturing scripts are not 100% reliable, 2) I'm not a huge fan of Alanis, but I do have a few of her CDs, 3) she's Canadian and has recorded with my favorite band Barenaked Ladies, so I'm biased towards liking her.]
