Absolutely love that Keane song. I haven’t heard that song on Australian radio for years.

91FM Saigon

Thursday, 21 September 2023
4.05 - 5AM (4 to 4.05 is jingles and radio schedule for the day) (Music are played continuously, no jingles or sweepers, only 2 to 3 voicetrack at most)

New Soul - Yael Naim (:heart:)
Trust In You - Lauren Dingle (!)
Nothing In The World - Atomic Kitten
Nothing Like You - David Barnes
No Vacancy - OneRepublic
Our God - Chris Tomlin (:open_mouth:)
Quit - Cashmere Cat ft. Ariana Grande
Reminding Me - Shawn Hook ft. Vanessa Hudgens
Shake It Out (Acoustic) - Florence + The Machine
(They Long To Be) Close To You - The Carpenters (*Shazam said that it’s the 1991 remix version)
I’m Not Her - Clara Mae
She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
Side To Side - Ariana Grande ft. Nicki Minaj
Hotline Bling - Drake

Here’s few things to deal here: Old-time style radio programming style still lingers somewhat even in the most commercial-ish radio network like 91fm in Vietnam. I have heard several instance where they just simply take the songs from Youtube and played it out, and in a few cases it caused end credit voiceover could be even heard uncut. They do have own music library, but because most of the programming are under presenters’ autonomy, so often they would pick songs from Youtube and import to the network’s music library. That’s why the log above may look a bit strange to you.

91fm doesn’t record the log, so I have to manually record the log with the help of Shazam add-on on Chrome (tbh, Shazam on my phone is having some problems that they couldn’t identify any song - doesn’t know why). Also, they would never advertise themselves as “Vietnam’s best music mix” or something, but rather “Information on every kilometers”, which make it even more odd to your ears. This is because the network was initially all-traffic service, and still primarily carry traffic infromation (especially during high peak time, but entertainment programming would fill the rest), and the music choice above is because they’re targeting the broad demographics of “car drivers”, which, in Vietnam, are primarily young adults to middle-aged.

The variety on Breeze just can’t be beat - for a commercial station at least. And it all just flows - new and old songs.

The Nostalgic Songs (Music of the forgotten era)

How to read: Original song name in English (original singer, excluded if it’s unknown) - Song name in Vietnamese, excluded if there’s no name (singer in Vietnamese)

We Don’t Need Another Hero (Tina Turner) - (BáșŁo Yáșżn)
Saving All My Love For You (Whitney Houston) - TĂŹnh Em Trao Anh (NhĂŁ PhÆ°ÆĄng)
Kokoro No Tomoto - TáșĄm biệt tĂŹnh yĂȘu (NhĂŁ PhÆ°ÆĄng)
Papa (Paul Anka) - (Hồng Nhung)
You Shot A Hole In My Soul (C.C. Catch) - (Thanh Lam) (cut from a long medley/mashup of songs - therefore it’s only a minute long)
L’aventura - Lãng du (Thanh Lam)
The Shadow Of You Smile - BĂłng DĂĄng NỄ Cười (Thu HĂ )

A long rant/note: I typically don’t compile logs during this program because the program mostly consists of obscure Vietnamese songs (which is why I write “music of the forgotten era” next to the program name). However, I decided to log the “playlist” this time because the episode on that night is all about “foreign music with Vietnamese lyrics”. Due to the historical reasons, foreign music was quite hard to be “imported” to Vietnam, so the music industry has created an “intermediate” by re-using foreign melodies/songs but has Vietnamese lyrics. One of two presenters of The Nostalgic Songs, Minh Đức, said that this was how many people - including himself - got access to the “foreign” music when they were young. The words from him really melt my heart: Right now it’s so easy to get access to the “original” versions of foreign songs in real quick, when you have the smartphone, so you guys may feel “normal”, but when rewinding to back in the day, it’s very precious because if it’s not listening to radio, then you guys have to go to a tape store that may took a time to get a tape you want. Many older people, because they had been exposed to the “Vietnamese lyrics” version of these songs, are still prefer that version, even if they may have heard the “original” version so many times. That is, in his word, being extreme in a cute way.

For me, that’s truly The Nostalgic Songs - where music from the forgotten era really alive again. (an ally of The Breeze AU, I think?) @myfriend

Hay all, this is a bit of an answer program to what I played a few weeks ago, the early 80s euro pop mix. My friend always mentions that my music taste is a bit of a slouch, not much rock. Well, just for some fun, I’ve pulled together a list of some of the best rock epics I could dig up from our master list. I know they are many I’ve missed, it would make the program go for over ten hours plus. :slight_smile: :). So in some form of a way, this is a “best of the best of rock” pick from my own personal collection. Hope you’ll enjoy.

Program starts off at 17:00 Sydney time on the fresh mix dot com, and will go for approximately three and a half hours, hope you can stick around.

Some interesting observations from this two-hour block:

  • two Taylor Swift songs were played on either side of “10:35” by Tiesto/Tate McRae.
  • two Sigala songs were played back-to-back immediately after “Anti-Hero”.
  • three Mimi Webb songs were played, including two nearly book-ending the first block, and another at the end of the second.

That’s one of the best regional CHR logs IMO. Power FM also has a good log especially on weekends.

I have noticed that Eagle / Snow are now playing more alternative music in their playlist lists now.

It is a the best regional CHR log in Australia.
I think Gazza Warne is the music director for both Snow / Eagle and XL / GN fm.

The CHR example in the logs I provided is an example of what metro stations should be playing. More newer music, less throwbacks.
