there were definitely Taylor Swift songs being played I never heard on the radio before.
Stations don’t program their music playlists for people who listen all day.
Were the songs that got repeated CORE songs by top artists?
Are "No Repeat Workdays" still a thing with AC/Classic Hits stations? They have a wide enough playlist spanning at least two decades and are geared towards people who work in offices... but nowadays, those same people are just as likely to listen to Spotify or podcasts in their cubicle.

At KRKE, we don't do any repeats between 6:00am and 7:00pm. We don't make a big deal about it, but we do have a couple of liners about every weekday being a "no repeat day".
You are correct in your observation about library size ... I have just enough powers in rotation to be able to do that, and lots more secondaries than I need. (And I don't need a second decade.)
Classic Country might soon reconsider having Garth Brooks as a core artists after new allegations of sexual battery and assault surfaced today.
Not any more. So few people listen in offices any more, as it is disruptive. In offices, if anyone listens, it is with earbuds because otherwise it disturbs others.
"Workplace" listening is more often in the loading dock or at the inventory desk in the warehouse or the stockroom at a store.
And stations have realized in the PPM markets that nobody listens "9 AM to 5 PM" to a station like they might in a diary. All day listening, is, in fact, a bunch of 10 to 20 minute tidbits interrupted by calls, other workers, bathroom breaks, coffee breaks, lunch hour, meetings and all kinds of other interruptions.
And that kind of frequently interrupted listening affects the listener's perception of repetition, because we now see that an 8 hour workday really means less than 3 total hours of actual-and-fragmented listening.
And, similarly, with all kinds of interruptions. That is why the streaming "heard" count is vastly higher than the true actual listening because people spend a lot of time with the stream running while they have the volume muted or low so they can do other things.
And most of us will not convict him until the case is over. He is already counter-suing and investigating the possibility of pushing for a criminal charge.
Trump popularized the suing of celebrities'. Many lawyers figured out that famous and rich people might pay off such cases to avoid negative publicity, so we will be seeing even more suits by nannies, co-workers and just plain fans.
He sued her first anonymously in Mississippi. Her lawsuit was just filed separately in Los Angeles:

They have done a lot with the website. lol
And thus why people hate radio 🫠
Some people. Most people, even those living in towns with only one radio station, never listened all day, and the vast majority never listened for more than an hour.
Or maybe because he's actually done a lot of shady stuff in his career? Trump's history of being involved in over 4,000 lawsuits dates back to 1973, when he was unknown outside of the NYC real estate business:

Defending Garth Brooks by saying "Trump gets sued a lot, too" is just about the worst defense I can think of...

Sorry, David---I have to agree here.
And frankly, the cases Donald Trump has straight-up lost in court and been ordered to pay is a hell of a lot more incentive than out of court settlements that Trump usually smothers the details of under an NDA.
And PS to anyone even thinking about making a stink-----this is NOT political. It's about celebrities and lawsuits.
It's a circular debate. Statistically, most people use radio sporadically, during a commute, for example.
That's what comes up in the research. So stations program music to fit usage by most people.
However, not all radio stations program that way.
