ISBN-13: 9780691148731, 978-0691148731. Climbing the Charts. Climbing the Charts examines how songs rise, or fail to rise, up the radio airplay charts. Contrary to the common belief that Clear Channel sees every sparrow that falls, Rossman demonstrates that corporate radio chains neither micromanage the routine decision of when to start playing a new single nor make top-down decisions to blacklist such politically inconvenient artists as the Dixie Chicks.
