You'd be surprised.

Some people buy an LP and only listen to one or two tracks. Some buy
45s and never listen to the flipside.

Some people go into a particular restaurant and ALWAYS order one
certain thing. Not everyone has very broad tastes in music.

Besides, consider the fact that most "normal" people may listen to the
radio for a couple hours a day, instead of having it constantly playing
like us radio geeks; they probably won't notice the repetition.


Good point. The average use of radio is just over 19 hours a week by the
average American. That is a little over 2 hours a day, so the repetition is
not going to be at all noticeable.
