High Valley - "Make You Mine" Chris Janson - "Holdin' Her"
I like both but I vividly remember where I was when these singles were announced (the Spring of 2016), and the fact they're still on the chart but not even near the top 15, just shows how asinine the Country music singles chart has gotten nowadays. Go away.

Go away. I remember reading an article at AllAccess titled 'Playing Currents At The 40 Week Mark'. I certainly miss the charts of the 1980s and first half of the 1990s. Those charts ran at warp speed. I can see molasses run faster than today's charts.

Go away. I don't hear Holdin' Her on my local station anymore but they still do play Make You Mine. In fact I heard it since late 2014/early 2015 when it was first released in Canada before re-releasing it to the US.

Sorry I'm bumping this thread but stations seriously need to chill with the recurrent play of "A Guy With A Girl". So sick of that song.

Keith Urban-"Blue Ain't Your Color". I hope I never hear this song again.

I'm sure this one has been mentioned before, but since I heard it today I had to post this one (I've always loathed this song):
Kid Rock ft. Sheryl Crow - "Picture"

I liked it at first but I can’t fathom another listen to “Blue Tacoma.”

The songs lately that have been really overplayed for me are the following:
Scotty McCreery "This Is It" Dustin Lynch "Good Girl" Dan + Shay "Speechless" Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line "Meant to Be" Luke Combs "She Got The Best of Me" (I do love this song, but man am I burned out on it, I can't go an hour without radio playing one of his singles). Midland "Burn Out" (lol)

I think I can add Chris Janson's Drunk Girl to the list. My station still seems to love that song for some reason but it's getting burned out a bit too.

Every Dan + Shay song that was single, except for "Road Trippin'". I just don't get why they have such big hits with songs that bore me to death. Especially when I hear them 10+ times a day.

I could go the rest of my life without hearing these again and I wouldn't mind:
"Meant To Be" Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line "Tequila" Dan + Shay "Life Changes" Thomas Rhett

I liked it at first but I can’t fathom another listen to “Blue Tacoma.” The amount of recurrent play that this overwhelmingly average throwaway song gets from my local stations and The Highway alike is absolutely mind-blowing. I can't change the station fast enough. And I too liked it at first.

Some playlists only spin top 20 and then have 20-30 recently charted big hits to fill in the rest. Any slots left go to beaten to death gold titles from the 2000s. Modern day radio log.

Which just reaffirms why I don't listen to radio, and haven't in probably close to 10 years. I don't know how people stand that, lol.

The Highway is repetitive and they shouldn't be.

Not only that they don't seem to play enough women (and/or male/female duos/groups) by today's standards and that is an issue now.
Speaking of which, another song that currently gets the overplay treatment now for me is Burning Man (at least where my local stations play it several times per day) and it is quite excessive to be burned out like this.

The Highway is repetitive and they shouldn't be. Couldn't agree more about The Highway. Sure, they introduce people to a lot of new music. But they really, really latch on to some. And it usually seems like it's the ones they're buddy-buddy with (Carly Pearce, Michael Ray, Maddie & Tae, Ryan Hurd, Chris Janson, etc). They also really latch on to Runaway June, Russell Dickerson, Raelynn, and a few others. They are all good artists who produce quality music, but man The Highway overplays them. It's almost like they're trying too hard to be trendy.

It's almost like they're trying too hard to be trendy. If you listen to Buzz Brainard enough, he says, I really like......and sometimes it is one that barely anyone knows exist. When the social media numbers are not 5 figures, that says something. The funny thing about Runaway June is it took forever for them to release an album. I would think with studio backing, an album would come out sooner, and I have spoke to enough independent artists to know that a lot of songs are written that get narrowed down for an album. One album gets you known (potentially), the 2nd album makes or breaks you. I have seen more talented artists in person than some of what The Highway plays, but there is a bias game going on, and you are right about latching on to people (Abby Anderson is another example to add to your list). Then again, some of Nashville has no idea how to market themselves.

The other issue is that because of the merger between Sirius and XM, the playlists have gotten tight especially The Highway and for the XM side of things, it's not pleasing them well even though Sirius wants it like an FM station. Unfortunately it seems like no matter how hard we complain, they don't seem to do anything about it with DJ voicetracking in many cases, and a less than ideal program director.
If the merger hadn't happened I would have imagined the XM side of things if they had The Highway would have been deeper than now.

This is exactly right. The merger was a great business move for both XM and Sirius but the playlist has suffered and even more so after Marks left The Highway (Marks’ playlist wasn’t exactly great but I think it’s gotten more stale and tight). The Highway (Sirius/XM) uses the RCS Zetta software for their playlist (we use the same). It’s pretty great actually but it’s too convenient to voice-track. Two clicks is all it takes.

Going to bump this again but the station in my area loves to play Carrie Underwood's Southbound a lot, like 7-8 times every day (I like this song but burned out on the excessiveness, radio does have other Carrie songs they can play). They also like to play What Happens in a Small Town a lot too.

They also like to play What Happens in a Small Town a lot too. 7-8 times a day is reasonable for a current top 10 hit. That comes out to every 3 or so hours. One of my local stations is still playing Tequila nearly hourly and that is frustrating as hell. Dan & Shay have already cycled through another hit since it was number one so it should have been way cut back by now.
