99% of stations can't play a song whenever the hell they want. It's on a set playlist that's marked LIGHT, MEDIUM, and HEAVY rotation. Light rotation usually means every 3-6 hours. So if you request a song and it was already played 3 songs ago, you're waiting quite awhile to hear it. Rotation is based on either listener requests, or nationwide airplay. DJ's may not LIKE Britney, but they have no choice but to play her when Nationally she's in-demand and Top 40. |
