Is this Heart....VARIETY: The quality or state of being different or diverse; the absence of uniformity or monotony:

reggae, pop, rock, soul, disco, dance & ballads. Load's of music variety there.
If you're defining variety just by listing popular sub-genres of mainstream chart music, all but the most niche of internet radio stations play at least that much 'variety' of genres. Which radio stations routinely play less music variety than Heart? |

The Breeze, Key 103, Rock FM, Metro, Free Radio and Pirate FM are just a few examples within the various Heart TSA's. None of these offer the variety that Heart has. Variety is 'a little bit of everything' and that's what you get with "More Music Variety".

Basically Global have a different definition of "variety" to the rest of the radio industry!
It always reminds me of the old mix means variety Tag line the GWR stations used to use Except that in their case though they had many detractors the claim was TRUE. Certainly At least when my friend Andy Henley was doing his overnights !!! |

A couple of random hours on the Breeze this afternoon (as an example) saw Bob Marley (reggae), Chic (disco), Queen (rock) , Isley Brothers (soul), Eurythmics (pop) , Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers (country) , Michael Buble (easy listening). Certainly Free and Pirate play just as many genres
How is that less 'variety' than Heart?? AND they play the whole tracks in their entirety ! |

Don't get me wrong - I appreciate that Heart know their market and what their listeners want. But what their listeners seem to want is familiarity more than variety. I don't understand why they market themselves on the one criteria which their competitors either match or better than them on.
"The songs you love" seems a better brand fit to what they do than "more music variety". |

Y'know I've said it before but the "more music variety" strapline is so regularly misunderstood by listeners it can't be that the masses are just thick and don't get that it means variety in genre of music than actual tracks but that it's an indication that it's an ill-considered strapline that isn't immediately clear to most people and yet still they persist with it. |

Sorry but is Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO really a Club Classic, it was played in the the Club Classics part (7-8) of Roberto's show this evening at 19:32. It was produced in 2011, hardly a Club Classic. It's the sort of song you'd hear on Capital and not Heart anyway.

Indeed, although "Perfect cure for insomnia" is just as apt as far as I'm concerned.
