B98.5 goes hot AC

[atlantaboy]

The 80s stuff just sounds so out of place...here's a sample half hour:

Maroon 5 - Harder To Breathe
Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks
Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know
Taio Cruz f/ Ludacris - Break Your Heart
Cranberries - Dreams
Nickelback - Someday
Adele - Rolling In The Deep
Prince - Purple Rain
Katy Perry - Part Of Me

Again, though, this is essentially what 107.9/The Link is doing in Charlotte, and their ratings, like B's, are extremely strong

I did hear a guy call in to B today, probably in his 40s, literally begging them to play something 80s (as if he couldn't take all the new music)
