We have compiled a Radio Dupree chart for the entire year 2014, based on the monthly charts compiled by listeners voting on the songs they hear on Radio Dupree. This is how we did it: A #1 position got 10 points, #2 got 9 points etc.

Chart analysis: Somewhat surprising to find King Crimson on the top of the 2014 chart. We have always been playing KC but we expected to find them as #9 och 10 or so. We have considered them to be a bit left field, even for our listeners, but this indicates that we should continue to play KC.
The rest of the artists/groups in the chart are ones that we expected to be there somewhere, with a couple of exceptions: First it's Kate Bush. She has appeared on our monthly charts three times. Well deserved! We have played more music by Kate, to celebrate her tour, and we assume that Kate's successful tour increased the interest for her music.
Then there is Yes. We often use to stick a couple of Yes songs into our playlists, but have seldom seen them getting any "thumbs up", until 2014.
2013 Frank Zappa was #2. Now he didn't really make it on the top ten chart, which is sad. Should we play less music by Frank? Come on, don't give me that!
Anyway, keep pushing them "thumbs up" buttons when you hear something you like on Radio Dupree.
