Radio Sucks

By Dave

The New York Times gives us the most played songs of the decade. If you needed any other proof that the radio sucks, please look no further:

Country: “Something Like That” (1999) by Tim McGraw, 487,343 spins
Top 40/contemporary hit radio: “Yeah!” (2004) by Usher, featuring Ludacris and Lil Jon, 416,267 spins
Hot AC: “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” (2001) by Train, 338,749 spins
Alternative: “Last Resort” (2000) by Papa Roach, 221,767 spins
Rhythmic: “Low” (2007) by Flo Rida, 206,864 spins
Album rock: “It’s Been Awhile” (2001) by Staind, 189,195 spins
Urban: “Drop It Like It’s Hot” (2004) by Snoop Dogg, featuring Pharrell, 169,511 spins


Seriously, Train was the most played adult contemporary song!? Papa Roach!? Flo Rida!? Staind!? Oy...
