how'd ya find that out? super interesting My listening habits, every night my station has a "most requested" Top 5 so I listened over the course of the week and sorted out the average Top 5. Same goes for the iHeartRadio Top 5, as for recurrent airplay that also goes by my listening habits. For some reason pop stations around the country have been playing lots of old songs, along with my local station and those 5 songs are what I've heard the most this week. Most of the recurrent airplay I believe comes from the workout hour or whatever, aside from Shape Of You and Despacito which get played all the time anyways. I'm trying to put some sort of a spreadsheet together. I listen to a lot of radio lmao. Ahhhh i see. well i listen to those "artist stations" on spotify as radio lol so i wouldn't know |

Your local radio station is lit!! S&M and The Boy is Mine still getting all that recurrent airplay?? Crazy. My station played Frozen by Madonna once months ago late at night and I was shocked cuz I didn't even know that song ever got airplay, apparently it went to #4 on Pop in it's prime. They chopped it down to 4 minutes so I guess it makes sense. Wow. Rihanna has so many radio staples, I'm shocked that S&M was the top one (but not complaining, it's my favorite Riri song!) Even The Boy is Mine doesn't seem like a typical R&B throwback, I would think "Say My Name" or "No Scrubs" would have more recurrent airplay |

I have been thinking that pop radio has seemed very "weird" in recent months, (this is based on looking at the Mediabase charts almost every day). I've seen other people on Pulse say similar things. And now I've see you say this. I was thinking a while ago that maybe pop stations in the US simply don't have anything to play at the moment? It's just that the way some songs have been behaving (especially New Rules), just gives off a vibe that they don't have anything to play and are making the best of what they have. And then Post Malone - Psycho seems like the sort of thing pop radio wouldn't normally want to sent to #1, but the stations seemed to collectively decide that they have nothing else to play and its their best bet to put in high rotation (rather than keeping New Rules lol). There have been a few other things, but I have just generally gotten this "weird" vibe off the pop radio charts this year. And then you come along and say that you've heard lots of pop stations playing lots of old songs, which kind of goes along with my theory that they can't find anything else to play at the moment. I guess I'll just have to wait another 6 months and see if this might be a lasting shift in pop radio or if it's just a "weird time" that's inevitably going to happen on a radio format every decade or so. |

Just on the topic of unexpected recurrent hits, I'm from Canada, but Nelly Furtado's biggest recurrent hit is "Powerless" on my local station (which I love, but that'd never happen in the US haha!) - this is why I wish we had a Canadian Hot 100 in the early 2000s or at least some type of Hot 100 airplay chart haha, the chart performance of the song in the two countries is so different

I don't listen to radio much anymore, but a HAC station I used to listen to most days had Broken Strings in rotation well into the middle of the 2010s. I'm Like A Bird would get some plays as well. However, I reckon most pop stations probably play Say It Right the most now. |

"Promiscuous" is probably a distant 3rd and "Turn Off the Light" get very little airplay I think. |

Yeah, that's probably about right. #JusticeForDoIt In Brazil, Promiscuous is the most played song from 2006. At least on the station that I was used to listen, it's played almost daily. |

Yeah, she actually has a diverse radio staple worldwide! UK - Maneater Europe - All Good Things (Come to an End) / Say It Right US - Say It Right / Promiscuous / I'm Like a Bird |

Pls stop talking about Nelly cause I'm about to cry. At the peak of my love for her (2007) I skipped school to watch some random tv specials about her and spent all of my pocket money into buying her first 2 albums + ALL the re-editions of Loose. And that was the last time I ever spent a coin on her. My interest in her just vanished the moment Blackout came out. I still bop to her biggest hits though and I play Folklore in the car whenever it's raining.

The 1-2-3-4 punch of Promiscuous (her biggest North American hit), Maneater (her biggest UK hit), All Good Things (her biggest Europe hit) and Say It Right (her biggest worldwide hit) will never be surpassed. It did alright in the USA but was a monster everywhere else. I think "Back to Black" and "FutureSex/LoveSounds" were the only bigger 2006 albums. Definitely think Loose is one of the top 10 defining albums of the 2000s. |

What official chart do you use in Canada prior to the Canadian Hot 100? We didn't have one :( The Canadian Singles chart was extremely inaccurate, we had RPM Singles Chart until 2000, but again, it wasn't the most accurate. The best bet was the Canadian BDS Airplay chart which just measured radio spins :( |

This quote pretty much sums it up: "Since 2015, Pop CHR has seen its share of audience shrink 15%" |

Maybe if they played what was streaming well......? The bad thing is, a lot of what is streaming well is not what pop radio listeners want to hear. What pop listeners want to hear "Yes Indeed", "All Mine", and "Big Bank"? Pop songs do not stream as well as hip hop does. If they did start playing a lot of the hip hop songs they would lose listeners which in turn they would lose advertisers marketing to the pop listeners demographic. |

Hip Hop and R&B dominated then, what's the problem now? This era is so confusing to me. Would a song like "Boo'd Up" for example turn Pop listeners off? I can't imagine it doing so....I mean, I understand hardcore Hip Hop not getting pop play, but there have been a few relatively pop friendly R&B song that completely got dissed over the past year or so....in favor of dozens of mediocre "pop" songs that did no better than HUMBLE or Bodak Yellow |

Supposedly kids are all streaming so maybe their still trying to keep the 30-40 somethings listening to radio as long as they can so their throwing them a bone playing some more 90's early 2000's music too??? |
