Does on air talent or people working at a station remember forgotten hits better than others?

I might remember certain songs differently than others. My first radio job was at an AM/FM combo in 1981. I was basically the babysitter of the FM automation system. I had to keep track of the songs so I knew when to change tapes. I paid keen attention to the last song on each reel because that meant I had to change the reel. I recall one specific song…”Back On My Feet Again” by the Baby’s. That was the last song on one particular reel, so I knew I had to change reels after that song. Conversely, the first song on another reel was “Off The Wall” by Michael Jackson. The format was “Contempo 300“ by Drake/Chenault.

I remember "I Just Called to Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder being the last song on both current reels on a Century 21 station I worked at when it was topping the charts.

Do you think pop radio programmers prefer hamburgers over pizza?
