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?
Not only that, Prince has SO much more material to be discovered by the average Joe. Obviously that goes for most artists but it just irks me that typical radio is somehow in it’s own bubble.
Right before David Bowie died he released blackstar which for me was a huge discovery at the time. What did the stations do when he died? Play the classics. Mfr, honour the man properly and play his new material.
