Here's Altrok 90.5 HD2's rundown for 2011 (technically 12/15/2010 - 12/15-2011) with each band represented by their highest charting track during that period, as determined by airplay on the station. We couldn't afford Price Waterhouse for the tabulations, but the software we used seems pretty solid.
(Update: Okay, so we screwed up on The Drums. We like The Drums.)
