Let “Rent” do the math: A year contains “525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.” And now comes www.PlaybillRadio.com, inviting Broadway aficionados to fill every precious one of them with show tunes. Listeners can rate each song played, and make requests via e-mail, with the results combined in a weekly Top 40.
