One of my favorite channels on XM Radio has to be Top Tracks (XM-46). I think its probably a favorite of many others as well. So I started thinking about it and I asked this question on the xm411 forum as well, the thread is here. After seeing a few replies if I were running things here’s what I’d change if were the program director:
- Put some DJs on. I think XM is trying to program Top Tracks ipod style which there is nothing wrong with, but it makes the overall feel sort of have a cold feel to it.
- Alot of people say break this station up into 2 stations….I say no no no. As one of the XM promos for Top Tracks says…”Bringing the best rock and roll ever recorded to the XM Nation - Top Tracks XM 46″
- I know Top Tracks has a mix of about 300 songs or so at a time (Im guessing at that and I have nothing to base it off of except my listening), but I wish that this mix of songs would take place more often…like maybe every 72 hours or so…too much great music in the Top Tracks catalog
With all this said Top Tracks is still one of my favorite XM stations. I listen to it at least once a day for a period of time..although with the Deep Tracks 5002 coming up next week Top Tracks might be getting heard slightly less. For those wondering Deep Tracks 5002 is starting on New Years Day and XM basically plays the entire Deep Tracks catalog…very cool stuff !!!!!
