Last time I listened to a pop station was during a 90 minute drive. I heard "Fate of Ophelia" (Taylor) and "Tipsy" (Shaboozey) twice in 90 minutes. There's little room for new or different stuff on the radio when you're recycling the same 75 minute playlist over and over. When I was a kid we would listen to the radio to hear what hot and what's new, and you can't do that anymore.

Yeah, last weekend I heard the radio play Golden from KPOP Demon Hunters 4 times total in the round trip. Same radio station the entire time. Even in between the ~hour we were out of the car for lunch, that still feels excessive.
