CJLO Top 100 of 2017

Howdy friends,

Your friendly CJLO Head Music Director here with the CJLO Top 100 of 2017.  HUGE thanks to CJLO Metal Music Director Andrew Wieler, host of Grade A Explosives for taking on the grueling task of tabulating this chart.  Per usual, CJLO's charts reflect actual airplay, and Andrew pulled this from all our playlists and past charts submitted in 2017 - apparently 465 different records charted over the year!  I managed to cobble together a sweet spotify playlist of the entire chart, counting down, so have some fun discovering new music.  Hi fives to Angelica of BVST for the sweet graphic!  Don't forget to catch our weekly chart show - Charts and Crafts Fridays 12-1pm ET

Some of you may know that I am now moving on from the Head Music Director position, it's time for me to disappear into the sunset from Music Director land and become one with The Force.  I'd like to welcome Zach Carriere, host of Slax Trax, as the new Head Music Director here at CJLO.  You can reach Zach at the new MD email - music@cjlo.com

And with that - I am incredibly happy to announce METZ as this years most spun artist at CJLO!  METZ has been a mainstay on CJLO's airwaves from their first 7"s on We Are Busy Bodies to their amazing trio of lps for Sub Pop.  Asides from being fellow Canadians, METZ also has been huge supporters of CJLO, lugging their gear up for a session, contributing a track to one of our fundraising comps, contributng a track to a Medium Rotation 7" that was released at a CMJ party that CJLO sponsored and they DJ'd, and routinely calling in to the CJLO airwaves whenever they have new music to share.  Their latest record, Strange Peace, also topped the charts the most this year, 4 weeks in a row in 2017.  Couldn't be happier that this band is on top of the last chart I send out as Music Director here.

Happy trails, and don't fret, you'll still be able to find me hosting Hooked on Sonics every Thursday 6-8pm ET!
