But I need a way to statistically or factually say that.
Any help?
What you're talking about is the classic rock stations that play songs from the 60s and 70s. It's true that these songs have been played over and over again, but if you're trying to illustrate that it's a more popular song than a more current song, you're basically comparing apples to oranges.
