I hope this is the right community to ask. Are radio stations doing something to songs? Or is it the playlist they use? Or is it me?

Can I achieve the “radio effect” for any music somehow?

    It’s the opposite for me, though mainly because the radio people don’t seem to want to play anything besides the “latest hits” for a few months before changing to the next set.
    There was a week where I headed to work with a colleague every second day and we heard a song on our way and heard the same song on the way back again. This happened on all three days of that week, though I don’t remember if the time was similar as well. And I don’t know about the other two days where it was my turn to drive as I had my own list of random music playing.

    Well, and a second reason is the constant talking of the hosts between songs that seems to be almost in sync across different stations, as well as the max level cringe prank phone calls some stations do, pretending to be some celebrity’s manager and spouting nonsense in a weird voice, like, “Hello, I’m Ed Sheeran’s manager and I’m calling in regards to the anti-toenail-wrinkles-cream he wants to sell.”
