i think, unless you have a radio deal, that Pop radio waits to massively spin a new song until it performs well on streaming (Spotify and Apple). So why do you think pop radio is not playing or scared of "Pink Venom" by Blackpink? Because it’s absolutely dreadful?

So to revive things here a little, I found a daytime sample from my local station which should give a good idea on pop radio’s reliance on older songs:
From Thursday, September 29, 2022 during the 4:00PM hour.
4:04 PM - Lil Nas X: That’s What I Want (2021, recurrent) 4:06 PM - Timbaland: The Way I Are f/Keri Hilson (2007, gold) 4:10 PM - Harry Styles: As It Was (2022, current) 4:12 PM - Lizzo: 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) (2022, current) 4:16 PM - Ariana Grande: Dangerous Woman (2016, gold) 4:19 PM - Megan Thee Stallion & Dua Lipa: Sweetest Pie (2022, recurrent) 4:22 PM - Charlie Puth: Left and Right f/Jungkook (2022, current)
(BREAK)
4:35 PM - Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow: Industry Baby (2021, recurrent) 4:38 PM - Elton John & Britney Spears: Hold Me Closer (2022, current) 4:42 PM - Harry Styles: Music For A Sushi Restaurant (2022, current) 4:45 PM - Doja Cat: Kiss Me More f/SZA (2021, recurrent) 4:49 PM - OneRepublic: I Ain’t Worried (2022, current) 4:52 PM - Lizzo: About Damn Time (2022, current)
(BREAK)
Currents: 7 Recurrents: 4 Gold: 2
Quite an equal balance between songs on the chart and older songs. Most of the throwbacks are recurrents from 2021 which have not been phased out for new stuff yet.
In September, my station added 5 songs to the playlist (29, Until I Found You, I’m Good (Blue), Star Walkin, Unholy), and only Star Walkin has received daytime spins (due to the radio deal). Most songs don’t get daytime spins until they reach top 10/15. Despite being in the top 10/15, Glimpse of Us and Numb have not received daytime spins yet, neither has So Good, Betty (Get Money), or Victoria’s Secret.

I suppose I can join in here and do a sample from my station.
12:01pm: Lil Nas X - Star Walkin' (2022, current) 12:04pm: Morgan Wallen - Wasted on You (2021, current) 12:07pm: Doja Cat - Vegas (2022, current) (BREAK) 12:19pm: Sia - Unstoppable (2016, current) 12:22pm: Post Malone / Doja Cat - I Like You (2022, current) 12:26pm: Rihanna - Umbrella (2006, gold) 12:29pm: Stephen Sanchez - Until I Found You (2022, current) 12:32pm: Machine Gun Kelly / Blackbear - My Ex's Best Friend (2020, recurrent) 12:34pm: Yung Gravy - Betty (2022, current) 12:37pm: Lady Gaga / Colby O'Donis - Just Dance (2006, gold) (BREAK) 12:50pm: Sam Smith / Normani - Dancing with a Stranger (2019, recurrent) 12:53pm: Harry Styles - As It Was (2022, current) 12:56pm: Nicki Minaj / Ester Dean - Super Bass (2011, gold - also for some reason, my station's playlist gives Ester credit) 12:59pm: Steve Lacy - Bad Habit (2022, current)
Currents: 9 Recurrent: 2 Gold: 3
Decent mix of currents and recurrents, I'd say.
September adds: Until I Found You, Unholy, Unstoppable, Star Walkin' (these are the only four to get daytime spins), I'm Good, Die for You, World's Smallest Violin, Forget Me, FMK.
