Did They Really Just Play That?

Even more so at a metro level with a curious mix of music, talk, sport and comedy (the latter is also debatable).

I think you can blame that song for being in Despicable Me 2 and many of Pharrellā€™s songs being in the franchise as well. I never was fond of that franchise due to the Minions and how annoying they were.

Itā€™s corporate wankery, try and convince your market to be happy by flogging a song supposedly about being happy. More US dross to me.

Itā€™s absolutely awful. Certainly doesnā€™t make me happy, it has the opposite effect in fact!

Heard ā€œFollow You, Follow Meā€ by Genesis on the recently launched Triple M 70s DAB+ station on LiSTNR just almost an hour ago, as much as I love this song and Genesis during both Gabriel and Collins periods, in my opinion this song sounds a bit too soft for the Triple M branding (unlike the regional stations that is). Still a classic from 1978.

Just after 10:00am on Nova 106.9 yesterday, they played ā€œHoudiniā€ by Dua Lipa and then the song of the same name by Eminem back to back.

More a HIT network tune.

Yep, thatā€™s the Triple M Regional stations for ya. Theyā€™re more of a Triple M/HIT Hybrid compared to the metros since the latter adopted the ā€œGood Times and Greatest Hitsā€ tagline, even though they still have a rock based playlist.

Take Me To Church / Hozier on The Breeze this morning.

TBH Iā€™m quite baffled by this song. I actually quite like it but it seems to have been classified as ā€œsoft ACā€ and pops up on soft AC stations all over the world (e.g. KOST in LA), but to me it just doesnā€™t fit the genre. Anyway, as I said I donā€™t mind the song but I still find it a clanger on stations like The Breeze.

Tiny Tim- Tiptoe Through The Tulips

Double J just before noon today. Doing a real Billy Bob there (and no, itā€™s not Requestival).

This was enough to break my MS hiatus, well played.

Yeah, the music could be a bit more consistent and skew older of course. But thereā€™s nothing wrong with a Wrong Song every now and again to keep you on your toes; I know you feel differently.I have noticed a few more older tracks creeping in when I have listened, though.

Easy Money / Billy Joel right now on 4BH. Not that itā€™s a bad song on listening to it, but I swear Iā€™ve never heard this song before in my life lol. I had to look it up to discover it was on the Innocent Man album, but I canā€™t find any evidence it ever charted as a single here?

I say good on them for playing an album track. The fact that you posted in this thread speaks to the rarity of the event on commercial radio.

(I had to look it up too).

I usually only hear album tracks on Radio Caroline. It isnā€™t even that common on most community radio shows.

At approximately 5:36PM CST (6:08 EST, 7:08 EST), Mix in Darwin decided to pull this one out of nowhere. When you think of songs from this artist, this song isnā€™t on the radarā€¦
