How much it costs a radio station to play a song

THESE days when you turn on the radio, it doesn’t take long for your favourite FM station to play the hottest song in the world.

At the moment it’s tracks such as Can’t Feel My Face by The Weeknd or Are You With Me by Lost Frequencies that seemingly dominate the FM dial.

And every time those songs are played on the radio, the stations have to pay for it.

Every. Single. Time.
