Too Much Queen on Auckland Radio - Projects

I had started to form an opinion that Auckland radio stations play too much Queen, Elton John and Rolling Stones. so set out to prove that thinking with data. I was bloody right.

Too much Queen

Queen are good, but are they so good they should command 1.83% of all songs played on Boomer/GenX radio (GoldFM, The Sound, Coast FM, Radio Hauraki) in Auckland. The answer it a resounding bloody no.
