Radio's Most Played Artists of All Time
Anybody want to guess what the most radio played song of all time is (U.S.)?
Songs written by which two Beatles have been played more than 3 million times? (this one surprised me) Check it out: http://www.classicbands.com/mostplayed.html These songs have made somebody filthy rich. I hope it's the musician in most cases . . . . |

Wow, second on the list : Spoiler: The Association - Never My Love , never heard of it. I mean I am sure I have heard the song...but it didn't leave an impression.

Other Association songs are "Along Comes Mary," "Cherish" and "Windy" (Everyone knows it's windy... bum ba bum ba bum). And I know all this because my friend purchased their vinyl album used at a second hand store a few months ago. |

I thought comfortably numb by pink floyd may be in there as well, but maybe it's 7 minutes or so itself. I haven't really heard of a lot of those songs though... |

Longer songs are really only played on FM while the shorter hits here are played on both AM and FM... well AM before it became almost exclusively talk radio.

What a sweet song. Seriously. I'm really surprised to see that as the only one over 8 million.

Anyone else notice that Ray Charles, "Georgia on my Mind" is on there twice?
Also, I notice the two Eddie Rabbit songs there in the three million block. The truly amazing thing about those is that virtually all the times they were played were in the year after the album came out, and then, just like that, he was gone.
