Happy ...Pharell......over and year since it came out and still on every hour on Heart !
I WIll Survive....the only song Gloria Gaynor has ever released aparently..ruined by Karaoke.

Liked all these songs at first but overplayed.
Total Eclipse of the Heart,
I Will always love you
Everything I do
Any TAke That song,
Aint Nobody - Chaka Khan
Why do they play the same song by an artist/group , there are loads to choose from.

Most 2013/14 music makes me switch off. Not all, but most.
And I'm the same with Take That and any individual member. Instant switch off for them!
Agree with you with all those songs. Plus The Human League "Don't You Want Me" and any of the three million (or so it seems) versions of "Unchained Melody"
The Archers theme - never gets beyond the first 3 notes (dum-di-dumm: off)
Instantly off!
Same goes for any tired, knackered song that has been played to death.
A shame really. And an even bigger shame only 'Total Eclipse...' or 'Holding out for a hero' get played when she's on the radio.
Unfortunately, most of those factors are outwith the control or knowledge of radio programmers. They aren't interested in whether a song sounds right on a sunny morning in January or a rainy afternoon in August, just whether it fits the format.
The one I used to hear a lot on the radio till recently believe it or not was "Lost in France"! I wouldn't mind hearing "Faster Than the Speed of Night" every now and then, possibly because it's my favourite! ☺
On a similar vein:
Now it's time for though for the day - click
...time for Saturday Live - click
They were awful then, they sound just as awful now!
I caught Smooth Radio playing Lemar the other day
Has he ever been played anywhere since 2005?!?
It was off quick as a flash, but then again, most of Smooth's funeral tunes have that effect on me
Ooh I like 'Lost in France' but I think 'It's a Heartache' is Bonnie at her best!
As it's Christmas 'It's a Rockin' Good Way' would be a fun tune to play too ;-)
Also Journey - Don't Stop Believing.
They have had better songs for goodness sake!
As for "Happy" by Pharell Williams? Well the beauty of that song is that you don't have to buy it. Just tune around the FM band and you are bound to hear it sooner or later.
Surely that was the only song they ever had? It's been played daily since 1988! ;-)
How Men Are
Deep & Wide & Tall
Oblivious
Much better songs in my opinion and just as radio friendly!
The one that says it all to me is Drivin home for Christmas from Chris Rea. When I think of all the great blues stuff he has done, it drives me nuts but I expect that it's great for his pension pot!
What even Hurt?
This Christmas I've not heard a single play of Oasis "Whatever"
detest it.
