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.


I hear the same "hits" on KFOG all the time. It's the songs I can't
stand that I noticed the most. Who the hell wants to hear the Cars do
"best friend's girlfriend" in 2006. Hell, I don't want to hear any song
by the Cars. They are so last century...The same with Queen, Madness,
Yes, and similar bands that really don't stand the test of time.

I guess the point is my 300 songs won't be your 300 songs, but if they
play 3000 songs, at least my list will be covered.
