MFM Music Desk is an independent music site about pop and adult-contemporary hits, charts, song facts, concerts and radio history. To report a mistake, send a tip or ask the editors a question, email contact@mix1073fm.com.
How to reach the editors
Email is the only way to reach the editors: contact@mix1073fm.com. The site has no contact form, phone line or chat.
The MFM Music Desk editors read every message. They can’t reply to everyone personally. Corrections and well-sourced tips are always reviewed and acted on.
Corrections
If something on the site is wrong, email the editors with the details. The site is built on chart peaks, chart weeks, release years, songwriter and producer credits, tour dates, and radio call letters and format changes, so getting these right matters.
How to report a mistake
- Put “Correction” and the page title in the subject line.
- Name the page or article and quote the line or claim you think is wrong.
- Say what you believe is correct.
- Give your source. A Billboard chart archive, album liner notes, a label or artist announcement, an FCC record or a published interview is far more useful than memory alone.
What happens next
- An editor checks your claim against primary sources such as official chart data, credits databases, venue or promoter listings, and licensing records.
- If the error is confirmed, the page is corrected. The update covers every place the fact appears, including tables and fact boxes.
- If the evidence conflicts or the claim can’t be confirmed, the page stays as it is until better evidence turns up. The editors may email you to ask for more detail.
- Small fixes such as typos are made quietly. Larger factual corrections, like a wrong chart peak or a misattributed songwriting credit, are fixed on the page as soon as they are confirmed.
Chart data sometimes differs between sources. Billboard has revised some historical chart weeks, and radio format dates often vary depending on whether a source counts the announcement or the first day on air. If your correction involves one of these gray areas, say which source you’re using so the editors can compare like with like.
Tips
The editors want to hear about tour announcements, chart milestones, overlooked song stories and moments from radio history, particularly Washington DC stations across the decades. Tell them what you know and how you know it.
Firsthand knowledge and checkable sources count most. Nothing from a tip is published until it has been confirmed independently. Rumors are graded by how reliable their source is and worded to match.
Say in your email whether you’d like to be credited by name or kept anonymous. That choice is respected either way.
General questions
You can ask who wrote a song, why a track rose or fell on the chart, or when a station changed format. Good reader questions often become articles. The editors can’t give legal, licensing or royalty advice, and they can’t value or authenticate memorabilia.
What the site does not accept
MFM Music Desk does not accept guest posts, sponsored articles or link requests. Emails offering any of these won’t get a reply.
Payment doesn’t buy coverage of any kind: no review, ranking, feature or mention. PR teams, labels and artists can send news and release information to the same address. It is judged on the same terms as any other tip, and sending it doesn’t guarantee coverage.
Not a radio station
MFM Music Desk is a website, not a broadcaster. It doesn’t take song requests, on-air dedications or contest entries, and it can’t pass messages to DJs or station staff. Contact the station directly for those.
Getting a faster answer
- Start the subject line with “Correction,” “Tip” or “Question,” then add the song, artist or station
- Cover one issue per email
- Include your source or evidence
- Say how you’d like to be credited, if at all
Before you send a correction, check the page again. Updates are made often, and the error may already be fixed.
