Did They Really Just Play That?

My baby takes the morning train! Actually not a bad song

Will always remind me of the 2004 film EuroTrip!

Normally WSFM/Gold rarely play songs as recent or as new as this. Maybe they’re going in a new direction as far as their music is concerned?

Wouldn’t be surprised if they started playing (for example) “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus on the station soon enough.

“Flowers” is a good pop song and would sit well in their playlist… But there would only be a handful of recent songs I’d include… Taylor Swifts “Love Story” is another.

I think there’s definitely room to skew a little younger in some of their music rotate. Chappell Roan has a 80s sound which won’t feel too out of place on air.

They play The Script’s Hall of Fame and that was released four years after Love Story.

These days, that song only gets played infrequently on C91.3FM (in Sydney) and Hope 103.2 (which also sometimes plays “Superheroes” as well).

Anyway, I got to see The Script in Sydney on Thursday night and they closed their show with that song, as they also did in 2022.

The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin was played on Triple J just nearly 40 minutes ago. A symphonic rock classic but kind of unusual for a youth station to play this during JJJ’s current era.

Lovefool by The Cardigans playing on 2NUR Newcastle 103.7 FM just now.

I think that’s a good fit for their music format really.
