Below you will find some questions and answers to how the Surf Countdown is being generated. If you don’t see your question, please use the contact form to ask your question about the Surf Countdown and we will try to answer your question as soon we can.
How was the list of songs determined?
The list of songs on the form for weekly voting is based on requests coming in each week to the station. Some requests come in from facebook, email, and call-ins. The DJs at 94.9 The Surf have helped compile this list of songs for the listeners to vote their favorites. This list will change each week with some songs being added and some songs being removed.
When will the results be posted?
The weekly Surf Countdown will air on Saturdays from 10am to 12 Noon. All votes from the previous week from Saturday to Friday will counted to determine the top songs for the week. After the show, the week’s results will be posted here on the SurfCountdown.com website.
Can new songs be submitted?
On the voting form there is the option to add additional song with the artist that recorded it. These songs will be reviewed and if enough listeners add that song, it will be added to the list for voting in the next week so that all listeners can rate the song.
What is the voting period?
Typically the voting period for each week’s Surf Countdown will start after the current week’s show is aired on 94.9 The Surf. Votes will be received from Saturday at 12 Noon to Friday at Noon each week.
The first Surf Countdown show on January 5th will have a voting period of Friday, December 14th, 2019 to Noon on January 4th, 2019.
The rating scale is 0-10, so what is the total number of songs 20, 40 that will be part of the countdown? A 2 hours show limits the number of songs that can be played.
Rate each song on its own, not against each other. Some will only give a few songs points, while others will rate every song on the list. You may rate multiple songs a 10. while you may choose to not give some songs any points. The calculation adds all the points for each song to determine the order for the show.
There is a new an upcoming number one country music singer of all times Donavon Lee Carpenter can you play his song Another beach song thanks
How often can you vote? More than one submission from the same source would seem to be a performer popularity contest rather than an accurate assessment of the songs widespread appeal……………
Vote each week. The count completely resets to zero on Saturday at Noon so each week is based on voting for the week. You should be allowed to vote only once each week. I can’t control the person that has more than once email from different locations, but its been pretty good at making sure it is fair and not being manipulated.
