Nrj Hits

Out of 710 entries in France, this one ranks 6. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

With 387 opens recorded, this is one of the directory's heavily played streams. That is the strongest thing the public data says about any station, and it is still a measure of traffic through one directory rather than of audience.

Tagged hits, along with 17 other stations in the country and 114 across the directory.

Worldwide it ranks 1 among 114 hits entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.

Nrj Hits streams in AAC+ while most of France's dial is MP3. Codec choice is mostly invisible to a listener, and it is one of the clearest fingerprints of which hosting provider a station uses, since providers default their customers into a format and few customers ever change it.

64 of France's entries are served from streaming.nrjaudio.fm, this one among them. A shared host means a shared fate. If this stream is silent, the fastest check is not this station's own site but whether its neighbours on the same platform are playing.
