I'm not sure if they still play them, but KIIS always had some weirder older songs they play that feel a tad out of place... "Dreaming of You," Selena "Always Be My Baby" Mariah Carey "Gone," NSYNC "I'm Just a Girl," No Doubt "Just Like a Pill." P!NK "All the Small Things," Blink 182 "Santeria," Sublime KIIS FM is a heritage CHR station for Los Angeles but it does seem weird that Selena “Dreaming of You” and Mariah Carey “Always Be My Baby” would getting airplay on KIIS FM in 2022. I read through the R&R charts often and those were hits on KIIS FM during the 1995-96 era.

A couple others:
Mr. Capone / Finga - "Summertime Anthem" Bryce Vine / Wale - "Drew Barrymore (Remix)" Zara Larsson - So Good (although I think they may have meant to play the Halsey track of the same name)

While I was out today one of the local top 40s was playing in the restaurant and I heard Destiny's Child - Bills Bills Bills.

Not quite a radio station, I guess (though maybe it could've been?), but y'all I heard Karmin's "Acapella" at a furniture store today????????

A more unusual song my local HAC station plays sometimes is "Heaven" by DJ Sammy, despite sounding absolutely nothing like any other song in the playlist. Even more bizarre is that my CHR station has played it a few times as well.

Just heard Rain on Me by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande on my local HAC. I love the song though so I don’t care.

gosh I hate the way FM radio works. They can't even mix up the throwbacks they play. Recently my local station's been playing Let You Down by NF and Ride Wit Me by Nelly, both moderately big hits playing all the time as if they were massive chart smashers. A more obscure one is Pony by Ginuwine, but I didn't know what it was at first. It sounded like a hit song from around 2002 or so, so I was shocked to find out it was from 1996. Timbaland really was that ahead of his time

I have heard Clarity by Zedd and Foxes soooo much lately on one of the two main CHR stations here. Literally just about every day for the past month.

To this day, I have no idea why Cups still has airplay. Or to name a few...
Gwyneth Paltrow/Huey Lewis - Cruisin' (Not the original, some cover from a very obscure movie) Will To Power - Baby I Love Your Way/Free Bird (A very shitty mash-up that I've heard more than both the original songs) Michael McDonald - Ain't No Mountain High Enough (Not the original, this)

Will there ever be a day when Utah AC stations stop playing Pink's cover of A Million Dreams. No. There will never be. That's about as likely as R9 coming in the next 10 years.
Also, there was a point in time 1 year to 6 months ago when Salt Lake City's 97.1 zht constantly played Classic by MKTO. That was great. I remember I would turn the volume up really loud and totally jam out. But they only did that for around 6 months and then stopped.

Actually, I STILL hear Classic sometimes on my station (Kiss 108). I really like the song so I never change the station when it comes on.

There was a period of time in 2021 where I heard Ridin’ Solo by Jason Derulo all the time on my CHR station. They still play it in 2022 but I don’t hear it as much. They do play Whatcha Say and Want to Want Me as well, but Ridin’ Solo didn’t perform as well as those.

My station has started playing Nico and Vinz's "Am I Wrong" lately. It was a hit, but I thought it's a bit obscure to play that now given the group has pretty much dropped off the face of the Earth in terms of their popularity. My station seems to love the group though, I remember they had "In Your Arms" in power for a long time despite it not charting very high.

Hailee Steinfeld's "Let Me Go" twice in the last few days. I swear my pop station played this song like 8 times a day for the entirety of 2018 despite only reaching #13 on Pop very early in the year, but my station would have you thinking that was the biggest pop hit of 2018, honestly.

My station added "Him & I" by G-Eazy and Halsey to their throwback rotation recently, which I find strange given the whole song is about how they'll be together until they die, yet they are no longer together haha.

My station has been recently plays What Ifs by Kane Brown from 3am-5am daily despite the fact that it's a country song and it never existed on Pop (I think they meant to add Mary On A Cross (Ghost) instead of this).

A few more my station has added to their playlist in the past week:
Akon / Eminem - Smack That (I thought this one was particularly odd) Outkast - Ms. Jackson Far East Movement / Cataracs & Dev - Like a G6 Fifth Harmony / Kid Ink - Worth It Christina Aguilera - Genie in a Bottle The Fray - How to Save a Life Paramore - Misery Business

KBIG, the HAC station in Los Angeles plays Ms. Jackson and Genie in a Bottle. What I find really puzzling is that they play Give Your Heart a Break year round. They play Cool for the Summer in the summer. I wouldn't have expected GYHAB would be the Demi song that they are still playing.

They can also play Lose Yourself and Hey Ya a lot too, and I swear I think once I might have even heard YEAH on it before too.

Coldplay - Clocks Jesse McCartney - Leavin' Usher - Caught Up
