A mandated excess of INXS on Jack?

[StreetTalkinGuy]

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like every time I turn on Jack for any decent period of time, I hear an INXS song.

The conspiracy theorist in me (yeah, I know, too much "X-Files") wonders if these playlist "suggestions" -- since we know they don't take requests -- came from a corporate parent that's desperately trying to spark some interest in its faltering reality TV show, "Rock Star: INXS."

Hmmmm, will we start hearing more "Eye Of The Tiger" and "High On You" when the new season of "Survivor" premieres?

They are trying to build buzz for the CBS TV show RockStar INXS

I think the real answer is probably a little more banal.

INXS is a band that happens to cross nearly all of the genres that Jack plays -

Classic Rock
New Wave/KROQ 80's alternative
CHR gold

Thus they would stand to be in heavy rotation.

I could stand to hear "Need You Tonight" a lot less - by far their weakest hit musically, IMHO, but one of their most successful commercially.
