I don't see a reason to hate them for being over-played. Most radio stations play mostly what is being requested, so the things that are being played so often that you can't stand them are actually being requested by usually quite a few people. Unless you have satelite radio, I have no clue how that works.
No, most radio stations play what they're paid to play. Only occasionaly will they play what someone requests. Have you ever tried to get a radio station to play a song by a lesser known band? I (and others) have. It takes a lot of constant emailing, texting etc to get it done. (see
this site, forum may cause offense to some). How it works is (roughly):
- Radio Station gets a promo copy of almost every album released by a major label.
- Record label pays radio station (as well as TV channels [for a different post sometime]) to play certain songs, by certain artists. These get played alot. (like Busted, McFly etc)
- Only on special request events does a lesser know band get a remote chance of being played.
So, its not really down to afew people calling in, its down to the artists record label paying for the promotion.
