How heavy is "Heavy Rotation" etc...? I'm curious as to how many times per day/week a commercial station will play its top hits.
I imagine the max to be up to 7 times a day: Morning Rush hour, Morning, Afternoon, End of Day Rush hour, and Evening. (plus maybe a lunchtime request, and late evening countdown. While I may find this excessive, I grudgingly understand the reasoning. What's the common practice? When and how does a station finally clue into a song's over exposure?
For example, right now I can't turn on a radio without hearing Green Day's "September". I suppose this is mostly to do with the song's cross format style; but come on! It's october already!
