Hey Mr. Dj Put a Record On!

We've gotten to a point where the music industry has started to expand and become really big. The advancement in technology has definitely help boost people's ability to listen to their favorite music. Magnetic tape and speed records made by various record companies are just a few. But the biggest influence on the music industry is the radio. Since every household at that time had a radio its virtually impossible to not be exposed to music. Now the type of music being broadcast out to the crowd is a different story. If a certain song is played over and over again like a broken record people will tend to remember that particular song. And sooner or later the song and its artist will become popular. The ones who control the contents being played are the radio djs. Most of the time they are bribed by record companies to play a particular song more often. Comparing this to the radio stations we have nowadays do you think that something similar to the bribery scandals in the late 1940's still exist today? (Think about how often a particular song would be played on the radio.)
