At the moment, I'm wondering if "Call Me Maybe" is the long-awaited Zero Burn Rate Messiah. Somebody please stab me in the face.

"I'm Yours" probably has the lowest burn rate in general for everyone, and thus holds the record for most weeks on the Hot 100 ever.

We Found Love is the closest we've gotten recently, imo. A lot of her songs burn out quickly.

Regarding, I don't like "Call Me Maybe". It was excruciating to hear it in Abercrombie & Fitch. I was hoping it would end quickly. Isn't stepping into Abercrombie & Fitch excruciating in itself?

Songs don't burn on me. If I love it, I love it forever. There are very few exceptions. Sometimes I'll hear a song on first listen and be like "okay this is amazing!" and then hear it again and be like "oh...nevermind" but that's the only time that happens. The opposite happens a lot where I'm like "kill me this is awful" (see 'We Found Love') and I end up loving the song to pieces.

LOL. :kii: I worked there for a short time 6 years ago. The playlists are now about 60 minutes long so working there would be totally shit now.

As pop music fans, we're always talking about 'burn rate' as a key indicator a song's success. Some really great songs are cursed with high burn rates: they're masterpieces at first listen, but the love dies away quickly. Other lesser songs are blessed with remarkably low burn rates, allowing them to gain higher esteem, and long chart lives. But is there such thing as zero burn rate? A song that never gets old, no matter how many times you hear it. In your experience, what songs have that? At the moment, I'm wondering if "Call Me Maybe" is the long-awaited Zero Burn Rate Messiah. No song can be the Zero Burn Rate Messiah including my current favourite song "Call Me Maybe". If I played a song over and over and over and over and over, I'd get burned out on it no matter what song it is. I'm listening to "Call Me Maybe" on repeat right now to test it out. I'm on listen #21 and still feeling pretty good about it I already listen to it 95 times(which is a record)and it is burning on me.

I think every song has burned out on me, even for a little bit. I'll still consider it a song I LOVE but a break from listening to it is still needed.
If anything, I guess some songs have a "late" burn rate for me. For example, I didn't get truly tired of We Found Love till about March of this year. And I still skip it when it comes on shuffle or change the station if I hear it on the radio. But nothing has a zero burn rate for me.

I was Googling "high burn rate songs" and found this (after seeing it mentioned quite a bit here on the board). Glad to see the explanation for it finally, and as to the original question, I really do think it's up to the listener.
Yes, radio kills a lot of songs for people by excessive airplay, but then again perhaps there's someone who can't get enough of it.
One song that'll never get overplayed for me is Deborah Cox's "Who Do U Love" as I have fond memories growing up seeing the video, scrambling to record the song off the radio onto a cassette (since I wasn't buying singles by myself at the time yet), and just falling in love with Deborah's voice.

I do think there is such a thing, for me anyways.
At this point, "Problem" hasn't burned on me a bit... never gotten tired of hearing it.

Most current Pop and Country songs have a VERY high burn rate for me, so now I don't even listen to the radio There are actually a ton of songs that have zero burn rate for me, but most of them are older songs (or classics), and I feel like I gravitate towards those timeless songs for that reason. Nowadays, if I hear a song I like, I make sure it doesn't have a really high burn rate if I'm going to spend money buying or downloading it. It also depends on the artist, vocals, production and quality of the song for me as well. A few examples: Anything by the Dixie Chicks "So Small" and "Wine After Whiskey" by Carrie Underwood " The Voice Within," "Fighter," anything from Back To Basics, " Vanity," "I Am," "Little Dreamer" "Coma," "November Rain," "Estranged"and " Civil War by GN'R "Kingdom Come" by The Civil Wars, Talking In Your Sleep, and anything from their sophomore album

I think burn rate really depends on the person. If he or she wants to listen to that song all hours in a day, then so be it.
Songs that have had little to no burn rate on me: Krewella - "Alive" Conor Maynard - "Animal" Ellie Goulding - "Starry Eyed" Girls Aloud - "Something Kinda Ooh" Selena Gomez - "Slow Down"
Just recently, "Break Free" has barely burned on me, but I know there's a possibility of bigger and better songs out there.

I'm actually in the 0.01 % of people that RARELY burn out on songs. A few have burned out on me, but they've all come back with a few exceptions (and the ones that didn't come back is honestly just because they're bad songs) but I pretty much RARELY burn out on songs

I heard that on the radio today for the first time in forever and I agree, it is a song that I've never gotten sick of it even when I listened to it a lot when it was a current. I still agree with my original post I made here a few years ago. A few songs I can listen to more than others but I don't think I can listen to something every single day for 4 months and still enjoy it. Even my non-burn-out songs I need a break from.

Yeah. "F**k U Betta" by Neon Hitch has absolutely no burn rate on me, and that was mainly overplayed by my own doing, not radio... so it just differs for people.

It all depends on how much you hear the song on radio or play the song yourself on your smartphone devices[Samsung Galaxy,Iphone Etc.]
Current songs that have yet to burn out on me yet- Katy Perry-Dark Horse Taylor Swift-Shake It Off Ariana Grande-Problem Demi Lovato/Cher Lloyd-Really Don't Care Jeremith/YG-Don't Tell Em
"Fancy" and "Sing" have really burned out on those tracks.Not even a remix can help these.

Too much of anything can make someone sick (Cheryl Cole reference, yeah). I don't think there are songs that have no burn rate. Some uptempo with a gimmick will have a higher burn rare than something that is more timeless and evergreen.

Loved the Cheryl reference Disco, and it may hold true in several cases.
But that also depends on how a song grows old with you. For example, several of my 1990 #1s on my personal chart are timeless for me, and I can groove with them and play them as if it were still 1990: Opposites Attract, Summer Rain, Giving You The Benefit, Release Me, If Wishes Came True, We Can't Go Wrong, Tell Me Why, etc etc etc... and I play them on a regular basis.
Then there's Taylor Dayne's "Love Will Lead You Back", which in the early 90s I played it as much as the aforementioned tracks, but now I find it so boring and it's collecting dust in a corner of my playlist.

Context matters for me too. Am I listening to the song on the radio? In a specific playlist on my iPhone? At a club? Alone or with friends? Those things do change how I'm feeling about a song.

The first pop song that comes to mind is "Bad Romance." It has been 5 years since it was released, I've listened to it (and watched the video) an ungodly amount and I am still thrilled to hear it. Most of my all-time favorites never really burned on me. I also make a pretty good effort at not overplaying new singles and albums.

I am a manager at a department store and we have set playlists that sometimes remain unchanged for 1 to 2 months at a time so it can be a bit much when you're there for 9 hours 5 days of the week and you hear that one weird song 12 to 15 times every week. At least ours rotate back after 6 hours. I know some stores (like Abercrombie & Fitch) have playlists that are just an hour long! Burn rate to the max.
