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?

    Don’t big record companies just have the 10 hits they manufactured in a laboratory which they test in key markets and then push out to the rest of the world. I remember when I went to Southern California I was hearing a bunch of songs I’d never heard before. A few months later those songs were being played on corporate radio in the EU.
