These songs have been played as much as "Hey Jude"
List is a little suspect to me. I've seen list before and "Margaritaville" is always alot higher.
The top looks pretty accurate though.
And "Still the One" is Orleans not Kansas.

I think digitaldreamdoor is a little off.

[TCD619]

I dont know about other radio stations out there, but most here play same 5 songs over and over and over.

[Wellahiya]

that's just US radios

over here, we got alot of other songs that they play a million times...

i think, if you count just the german broadcast stations, you will count up to 1 mio just with 'Wham (or George Micheal, whatever) - Last Christmas' in the times of december each and every year.... god... the first year it was okay, the 2nd i thought, wtf... since the 3rd year i hate it!

the only positive... George Micheal donated the emoluments to some help-organisation (they run out in 2009) in 1996, so i hope that shit ends next year

[JDSilk]

i never heard of any of these songs... this list makes you guys look like dinosaurs

[RanPicks]

are clubs/radios in Mexico included... I guess maybe those are just echoes...

[slipperypete]

would have expected some bohemian rapsody

[Gobbler's Knob]

So some guys sits around all day keeping track of this with pen and paper

[Bobtheicon]

Getting a little sick of Linkin Park ALWAYS on like every rock station everywhere all the time.

[Joe D]

Nirvana & Pearl Jam are WAYYYY overplayed.
Their 15 minutes were up in the 90's.

Invest in XM or Sirius. More variety.
