dorky metrics powers activate!
(Ok, so I was in radio long enough to care about what people like vs. what I wanted to play vs. what got requested.  "No, I will NOT play 'Coat of Many Colors', I played it last weekend.")

Do you ever make notes on the playlist about how many people were dancing, or if the type of crowd on the floor changed when one song ended and another began?

Something like:

song A:  ~20 18+ dancing
song B:  ~5 30~ dancing
song C: ~10 18-30 dancing

and so on.
