This research project explores whether songs on the Top Ten charts are played more frequently on radio stations I-94 and Z100. Conducted over weekends, we analyzed five hours of radio play from each station, tracking song occurrences. Our hypothesis was that Top Ten songs would show no significant increase in play frequency compared to songs just outside that chart. Results indicated that while popular songs are frequently requested, they do not dominate airtime more than older hits. Insights gathered guide future inquiries into radio play trends.

Destiny’s Child Introduction • Hypothesis- Songs on the top ten are not played more than others. • Explanation of our Idea- We listened to I-94 and Z100 for 5 hours each on weekends. • How we got our Idea- We tried to think of a scientific way to listen to the radio. • What we hoped to achieve- An idea about how often popular songs are played. • General Summary continued explanation- We have made bar graphs. 3
Background Information • To collect information, we listened to the radio. • Kasey listened to Z100, and recorded songs that were played. • Brandi listed to I-94, and recorded songs that were played. • Brandi went online and found the top ten list from I-94, and the pop chart off of rronline.com Sugar Ray 4
Experiment Craig David PINK • Materials list- radio, pen & paper. • Step-by- step procedure. Listen to radio, write down songs. • Control-not listening to the radio. • Constants-same number of hours & same days. • Number of Trials- 5 hours for each station. 5
Data Analysis • Compare Data- Songs on the top ten are played more often. • Songs that have been around for a couple months, and were already on the top ten, are played just as much. • We were half right with our hypothesis. • What we would do differently- we would listen to the radio for 5 hours at a time many times.

Conclusion • The top ten songs for both stations are similar. • Our hypothesis was not as correct as we thought. • The correct part was that songs on the top ten are not played more often.than songs that are around the top ten. • The wrong part was that songs that are on the top ten are requested more often.
