I've recently moved back to the NY tri-state area and noticed that WPLJ has an entirely different feel these days - and I've even heard quite a bit of freestyle/KTU-style throwbacks on the station lately: Noel's "Silent Morning", Lil Suzy's "Take Me In Your Arms", and Cynthia and Johnny O's "Dreamboy/Dreamgirl." The last time I listened to PLJ they basically had matchbox 20 and Lifehouse in power rotation for over a decade. What's changed?

I noticed the change also. Out of their last 100 songs, here are some songs they played that I don't think they would have played years ago:
Destiny's Child: "Say My Name"
Timbaland featuring Keri Hilson and D.O.E.: "The Way I Are"
Eminem featuring Rihanna: "The Monster"
In terms of old dance music, they played "Another Night" by Real McCoy. I wonder how many stations have played Eminem, Fat Joe, Simple Minds, and the Eurhythmics today like WPLJ has. The 100 songs includes two songs from "Jagged Little Pill," and they haven't abandoned some songs I'm assuming they played a lot 1990s and 2000s. They just added different songs.
