Hop in, weirdos, we're doing spreadsheets!

Wasteland Weekend XV was definitely one for the history books, so here's some data to write about!

The following statistics start at the midnight line-up before the event, and end when we turned the transmitter off, early Sunday afternoon.

We played 666 unique pieces of music a total of 1,557 times.
First track played: Doris Day - Secret Love
Last track played: Frankie Lymon - Why Do Fools Fall In Love
Most played track, with 7 plays:
Metallica - Wherever I May Roam
Most played Fallout tracks, tied at 4 plays:
Georgia Gibbs - If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked A Cake
Guy Mitchell - Heartaches by the Numbers
Big Maybelle - Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On

As always, boo that the most played tracks ended up being ones that have been on Wasteland Radio for a long time. So here's some stats about new music we brought this year!

First of all, we added an entirely new segment of music for Wake Up Wasteland, with calmer old crooner ballads. We also brought an updated "Fallout Party" selection for the Friday Formal period. As always, we also added plenty of new music for Armageddon Time, and some new bits for Nuclear Winter. On total, we added 201 tracks, adding up to 9 hours, 25 minutes, and 13 seconds of new music. Did you have a favorite?

A huge thank you to the WCC Broadcast Service, a Division of the Wasteland Communication Corporation, for hosting our facility and providing the power, water, food, and everything else we need to do what we do.

And especially thank you to everybody who sent in requests, announcements, notes, gifts, or just tuned in to listen this year. Without you, sitting in a metal box for almost the entire event would feel really stupid.

Wasteland City has such sights to show you, some during the day, some during the night. But only a few things which offer much both day AND night. One of those things is Wasteland Radio. I guess... I guess radio isn't exactly a sight, and we can't... show it, per se, but it's... something. Our tower keeps hurling radio waves into the very fabric of time and space 24 hours a day, every day, no matter how much our labor union screams about it.

But you can't "enjoy" that experience without a radio! Start your day with a brand new Wake Up Wasteland music line-up starting at 8am, and stay with us from 9 to 11am for The Morning Fallout, which has all the music, talk, gossip, news, and vital weather reports you can shake what's left of a knife at!
Then, stick around for Armageddon Time, the best mess of rock, punk, and metal we could find on scavenged tapes and ruined vinyl. It runs until 3am, so you can rock out all day and some of the night!

If you're in the market for up-to-date information, tune in at 11am for The Morning News, or 6pm for The Evening News, where we get you all the latest weather reports, schedule information, and interviews you need to make the most out of your day. We also do smaller news roundups and schedule updates at 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, and 8pm!

From 3am to 8am, turn your radio off. Seriously, you don't want to hear what we play on the Nuclear Winter show. Listening to Nuclear Winter constitutes agreement to several terms and conditions, which are mysterious, arcane, and an even more secret third thing.

All this and more, only on Wasteland Radio 88.3 FM - the last option in on-air entertainment. Play it in camp, blast it in the war rig, bring a battery powered radio and hang it on your belt, it's the only sure way to stay updated out there.

Have a request? Important announcement? Write it down on a piece of paper and tell the post office to send it to us! Oh, and we do welcome visitors. The staff isn't always available, but if we are we'll give you a full tour (especially after 8:30pm).

Another year in the dirt is behind us, which means the time for spreadsheets is now!

Now, we test transmitters and stuff before the event, and we play music for ourselves during teardown, so in order to be the most fair with what got played at the event, the following statistics start at the midnight line-up before the event, and end at noon on Sunday.

First of all, we played 551 unique pieces of music a total of 1,513 times.

First track played: 9electric - Under Attack

Last track played: AC/DC - Rock`n`Roll Ain`t Noise Pollution

Most played tracks, tied at 8 plays:
INXS - What You Need
Avatar - Hail The Apocalypse

Most played Fallout track, 5 plays: Dion - The Wanderer

Honestly it's a bit boring that the most played tracks ended up being ones that have been on Wasteland Radio for years. So here's some stats about new music we brought this year!

The Morning Fallout added 24 new tracks, bringing the total music during those blocks up to 7 hours, 9 minutes, and 23 seconds spread over 164 tracks.

Armageddon Time added 40 new tracks, bringing that total up to 17 hours, 56 minutes, and 8 seconds over 306 total tracks.

Nuclear Winter got 12 new tracks, bringing the total up to 96 tracks covering 7 hours and 30 minutes.

A huge thank you to the WCC Broadcast Service, a Division of the Wasteland Communication Corporation, for hosting our facility and providing the power, water, food, and everything else we need to do what we do.

And especially thank you to everybody who sent in requests, announcements, notes, gifts, or just tuned in to listen this year. Without you, there would be no reason to do what we do.

Wasteland City has much to offer, some during the day, some during the night. But only a few things which offer much BOTH day and night. One of those things, of course, is Wasteland Radio. The tower keeps chucking radio waves into the very fabric of time and space 24 hours a day, every day, labor laws be damned.

But you can't "enjoy" that experience without a radio! Start your day with some sweet old-timey music at 8am, and stay with us from 9 to 11am for The Morning Fallout, with all the music, talk, gossip, news, and vital weather reports you can shake a rusty firearm at!

After that, stick around for Armageddon Time, the best jumble of rock, punk, and metal we could find on scavenged tapes and warped vinyl. It runs until 3am, so you can rock out all day and some of the night!

If you're in the market for up-to-date information, tune in at 11am for The Morning News, or 6pm for The Evening News, where we get you all the latest weather reports, schedule information, and interviews you need to make the most out of your day.

From 3am to 8am, turn your radio off. Seriously, you don't want to hear what we play on the Nuclear Winter show. You have been warned.

All this and more, only on Wasteland Radio 88.3 FM - THE option in on-air entertainment. Play it in camp, bring a battery powered radio and hang it on your belt, it's the only sure way to stay updated out there.
