Why American radio keep playing same old songs for years ?

Question

I been living in NYC since I was in HS. I have noticed that American radio keep playing same old songs for years ? Why they do that ? why they don't play some good popular song? Countries in Asia . Hong Kong and Japan always have good new songs playing on radio. . why cant America do the same ?

Answer 1

Because Americans have a tendency to overobsess over songs to the point that they get annoying, then they go extinct, then they come back and haunt you. This is why I strongly dislike songs like "Hey There Delilah", "Home", and even "Shadow Of The Day". This is why I listen to the BBC radio 1 player on their website. It's great music and they aren't afraid to introduce new material and expire the old.

Answer 2

cuz most radio stations are controlled by large corporations who don't care what you may like, don't wish to offer variety to mess w/ their sponsors, also controlled by large corporations who want to make sure that their message - not the music - is what really gets across.

Answer 3

u r listenin to the rong station, try  another one
