In normal years, right about now WFHB’s Tall Steve would be calculating the albums played the most during the year by our volunteer DJs. But, this is not a normal year. Here’s a list of albums curated throughout the year by our Music Director and all our Volunteer Genre Directors, and played on the air by our randomized playback system. These are the 2020 releases our computer seemed to like the most. We’ll be spinning deep cuts from these albums through early January on WFHB’s Morning and Afternoon Mix. Enjoy!
