For our flashback chart this month, we're featuring our Top 30 Most Listened To Songs from May 2019. That was when we were a few months away from launching The Drive, the first locally owned Tucson radio station in a couple of decades. We hadn't yet picked a location for the studio but were looking for a cool, quirky space downtown and had only recently decided to call the station The Drive after initially calling it take it easy tucson (yeah, all lowercase) for the previous four months or so. The scheduling (MusicONE) and automation (PlayoutONE) software had been chosen and I was continually learning and testing trial versions of both on a laptop with an ever-expanding library of lossless music. I wasn't getting paid but it was really a lot of fun.
