Club Nouveau vs. ASOT

by **crow** » Sat May 05, 2007 12:06 am

This just hit me:
Since Tiesto's Club Nouveau is usually played on Fridays and Armin's ASOT on Thursdays, what if both were played on the same day and same timing?
Which show would have more people tuned in? I mean we all know Tiesto has his army of trance n00bs behind him while Armin has already built up a very good reputation among many trance fans.
I'd actually like to know your opinions and why.
I can't tell myself which is going to grab more listeners, which is why I'm asking.

Oh and plz plz plz plz PLEEAAASSEEE no bashing.

Both are good actually..
Tiesto is throwing good music in his C.N... And i like his idea of giving 15 mins for djs to be more famous..! that can help recognize new talents..
On the other hand, Armin's ASOT is strong, and popular.

My vote will go for Armin's ASOT anyway since i still know it better..C.N. is still new, and maybe needs more time for me..

Maybe with time my opinion can be changed however.

I think people are moving away from the answer I'm looking for

I was asking if ASOT would have more listeners than Club Nouveau or vise versa and NOT you guys

I already know everyone's love towards ASOT

We'r more knowledgeable than many peeps who tune into either shows so our observations would make sense, which is why I'm asking you all.

Armin has been doing a great job for now 6 years (it's gonna be on 1st of June 2007). For me he's much more talented than Tiesto and this is one of many reasons among Trancers to prefer AvB. He doesn't have a guest mix (which is better imo cuz there's already GDJB and TATW giving guest mixes) but DJs unknown to the world send their productions to him and he selects those that in his opinion are very well produced. It's a chance for those young DJs (most of them) to start a career. I think that many labels rely on Armin's opinion to see what tracks they can release. It's also a great idea to give the chance to his listeners to vote for the track that will become a massive hit in the future (Future Favorite). And now in 2007 the listeners can also send mails to him for the ASOT Radio Classic. The most demanded one joins the tracklist of the week.
I haven't listened to C.N. (didn't even think of it) so i can't say anything about it.
Personally i even prefer ASOT to TATW

Khaled you know my loyalty to the show and to di.fm :mrgreen:

[align=justify]It depends on the population you are talking about. It depends how much people are knowledgeable and educated about the music. It depends what country we are targeting by our answers. And the list goes on..

I think ASOT would get more listeners because, as Raneem already said it is popular now in addition to the fact that Armin is doing miracles aside his weekly radio show. Whereas Tiesto still needs some time to divert the enormous and good reputation he got from his listeners toward CN since it is relatively new.[/align]

actually i dont think the question would get an accurate answer since most of ASOTs listeners (and other radio shows) dont necessarly listen to it live. With the time difference between countries, with such shows having increasingly number of listeners, many actually listen to the shows pre-recorded. But to give Crow the answer he seeks (before he gets furious and start kicking butts) i think ASOT already got a big fanbase that's unmatchable with any other EDM radio show.. to beat that it surely needs time and huge efforts! will Tiesto be able to do that? maybe, but not in the near future for sure..
