This has been on my mind for years now:

Why do most radio stations insist on playing the same selection of songs over and over?

I imagine it must be a copyrights thing? Pay for usage of this particular catalogue for a year?

Don’t those DJs get absolutely sick of it after a while?

    It’s marketing. Corpos decide what you listen to when you rely on the radio. There’s always a better artist or band than what the radio is playing (or streaming services are highlighting) but they may not fit what the corpos want you to hear.
