Exclusively - Metallica

Exclusively - Metallica is at 120 in a listing of 328. Read the rank as a rough position rather than a standing: the click counts in the middle of a long national list are close enough together that a handful of opens moves a station several places.

The open count against Exclusively - Metallica is three, which is enough to know the stream has been played through the directory and not enough to compare it with anything. Small counts are the normal case out here, and a ranking built from them separates stations by luck as much as by interest.

A exclusive station on a dial where exclusive is one of the commonest tags: 19 entries in the United Arab Emirates lead with it. The tags are broadcaster-supplied throughout, so read the count as how the United Arab Emirates' broadcasters describe themselves.

The stream address on this entry points at streaming.exclusive.radio, which is where 159 other stations in the United Arab Emirates are served from as well. Platforms of that size carry the long tail of a country's dial, and they are the reason a listing can look broken when it is one host having a quiet hour.

The broadcaster's own site is play.you.radio, on the .radio domain. That one is genuinely restricted: it is administered for the broadcasting industry and applicants have to show they are a broadcaster, which makes it a stronger signal than most addresses on these pages.

Of everything the directory lists in United Arab Emirates, the entry this page reads closest to is Exclusively - Pixies, so it is worth setting out what separates the two. The broadcaster tagged this entry metallica, which the other entry is not tagged with. The other entry carries the pixies tag and this one does not.
