Truesee's Daily Wonder

 Miller/GettyRadio talk show host and conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh salutes from atop the ratings.

The trade magazine Talkers has published its annual "Heavy Hundred" list of the top talk-radio hosts, and it shouldn't shock anyone that Rush Limbaugh (heard locally on WABC) is No. 1.

No big surprises after that, either. Sean Hannity (WABC) is No. 2, Glenn Beck No. 3, Michael Savage (WOR) No. 4 and Laura Ingraham No. 5.

Mark Levin of WABC continues his climb, coming in at No. 7, with progressive talkers Thom Hartmann and Ed Schultz (both on WWRL) No. 8 and No. 9.

Howard Stern of Sirius is No. 12, Mike Gallagher (WOR) No. 13, Lou Dobbs (WOR) No. 17, George Noory (WOR) No. 21, Don Imus (WABC) No. 26 and Michael Smerconish (WOR) No. 27.

Dr. Joy Browne (WOR) is No. 28, Boomer and Carton (WFAN) No. 34, Mike Francesa (WFAN) No. 38 and Randi Rhodes (WWRL) No. 41.

Bev Smith (WWRL) is No. 44, Steve Malzberg (WOR) No. 46, Mike & Mike (WEPN) No. 49, Jim Gearhart (WKXW) No. 53, Opie and Anthony (XM) No. 71, Doug McIntire (WABC) No. 74, Terry Gross (WNYC) No. 76, Curtis Sliwa (WNYM) No. 82 and Mark Riley (WWRL) No. 97.

RADIO SHOWS SOME LOVE: It's not that hard to find love songs on the radio any old time, but several stations are planning special Valentine's Day programming.

WAXQ (104.3 FM) will let listeners pick one love song to be played on the air every hour - even if, program director Eric Wellman notes, that song is something like "Love Stinks."

On WFUV (90.7 FM), Pete Fornatale will celebrate Valentine's Day today, 4-8 p.m., and the hosts of "Ceol na nGael" will do same with Irish love songs tomorrow, noon-4 p.m.

David Kenney of WBAI (99.5 FM) does an extended show of favorites from the Great American Songbook tomorrow night, 8-11.

WCBS-FM (101.1) will feature love songs in its Hall of Fame Monday night.

Sirius XM satellite is running a "Valentine's Radio" channel through midnight Monday. It's on Sirius 3 and XM 23 and features include Dionne Warwick unveiling her "Ultimate Love Playlist."

AROUND THE DIAL: If rumors were eviction notices, WRXP (101.9 FM) would be only a distant memory today. But the alternative rock station is hanging in. It celebrates its third anniversary next month with a pair of concerts: Matt and Kim on March 20 at the Stone Pony and Guster on March 21 at Irving Plaza. . . . Dan Romanello's "Group Harmony Review," midnight Saturdays on WFUV, presents its annual "Ladies of R&B" show tonight as part of its Black History Month celebration. The show features 1950s-style R&B vocal group harmony.
