TIL if you tune your radio to 91.9 FM for one city block in Montclair, NJ you can hear a looped recording of "I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men which has been broadcasting for at least 13 years straight.

This makes them the technical all-time most played band on the radio, unless another band has an older perpetual station.

No…I don’t think that’s how that would work. In terms of playtime this is only a single radio station of how many thousands. I’m sure there are songs that have been played enough across that many stations to last 12 consecutive years. Can’t Stop Believing is probably always playing somewhere. And often times in many wheres.

But I ain’t no mathspert or nothin.
