It’s nearly a wrap on 2024! As this year moves into the rearview mirror, we’re asking: what music did you have playing on repeat? Was there one artist that held your hand or filled you with inspiration? Maybe a song with an addictive bass line or harmonies that made your heart swell?
Whatever made your favourite music special this year, we want to hear about it.
On December 31, CKUA airs its much-anticipated Top 100 Countdown. And, as we move toward that, we’re creating a playlist of the music that our listeners had on repeat in 2024.
And to spice it up, it’s a contest! It’s live now, until December 31 at 11:55pm.
Entering is easy. Text us your pick at 1-800-494-2582 and make sure to include the keyword “2024” in your response. You could win a $100 CKUA online store gift card!
We’ll be spinning some of your favourite tracks from this year in the lead-up to the countdown, so you might get to hear music you suggested playing on the airwaves.
Here are a few fun entries we’ve already received:
“2024 album Jeremie Albino – Our Time In The Sun is one of the standouts for me!”
“My pick is “Southern Song” by Erin Ross. Awesome tune.”
“My favourite album of 2024 was Prude by Drug Church. Maybe not the typical music to get played on the station but still one of the best of the year.”
“My top played song for 2024 is “Love Me” by CKUA’s only Kate Stevens!”
“I have so many favourite albums in 2024. I’m a big fan of JJ Shiplett and his newest album: A Way Through Time.”
And, of course, don’t miss the Top 100 Countdown between 9am and 6pm on Dec 31. We highlight the 100 albums played the most by CKUA hosts. Starting with #100, we play our way through the list. It’s a wonderful recap of a musical year, all the way to the big winner: the album played the most on CKUA airwaves over the past 364 days!
The title track from Allison Russel’s The Returner, the #1 album on last year’s CKUA Top 100 Countdown:
