Songs you loved at first but came to resent due to overplay? :/

Forgive me if this very thread has already been started and feel free to merge it with an already existing thread if this one already exists.

Human by The Human League used to be my favorite song in the whole world (It's haunting, chilling, beautiful, enthralling)until an 80's Music Channel overplayed it and I actually begun to resent it. It's been years since I heard that 80's Music Channel do that to Human and to this day ,Human is just one of my favorite songs in the whole world, and no longer my sole favorite song in the whole world thanks to that 80's Music Channel overplaying it.

Yeah, I don't get how these radio stations play the same 50 songs when they have a large catalog to choose from by default. It was the same way at an oldies station I used to listen to in the nineties. For me, the song I dread because of overplay is Love Potion No 9 by the Searchers.

About Love Potion Number 9, a long time ago, I misheard the lyrics as,"Love Potion of the night! LMAO!

It's the business model. It's used to juice listeners who are in the car for a non-consecutive 3 hours a day. Then sponsorships.

I'm beginning to resent Hopelessly Devoted To You by Olivia Newton-John. After her death, my local radio station has been playing this song quite considerably. It's a beautiful song, but overplaying is not cool.

Though I've never liked sappy music, we need more lyrics like that with all the songs saying men are useless that get radio play these days.

Is any of her other songs played at all?

When I saw this chat, the first song that came to mind is "What Was I Thinking?" from Dierks Bentley. When that song was first released, I loved it. I haven't grown to hate it any, but in my opinion, it has become way overplayed. To me, Dierks has plenty of songs that are way better. If anything, he was only just getting started with that one song since it was his first song on the radio anyway.

God bless you and him always!!!
