There's a song that's been in continuous radio rotation for over 50 years

The song "Music for 18 Musicians" by Steve Reich was first played on WNYC radio in 1976, but due to its unusual structure and repetitive nature, it has been in continuous rotation ever since, with the longest run being 55 years and counting. The song's unique composition, featuring 18 musicians playing in a loop, makes it a fascinating case study in the psychology of music and audience engagement. Reich's innovative work has been widely acclaimed, and this fact serves as a testament to its enduring impact on the music world.
