There are several sections that give information on touring bands, new releases and something called "heavy rotation." I'm assuming its music that is being played a lot but not clear yet as to how they get the data on that. There is a wide variety of music listed, sure to have at least one band for everyone no?&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
