Also btw, Radio plays = charts, is why US music stayed so static and largely behind the curve starting in the 1980s. It's why the US missed the entire late 80s-early 00s Acid House, Trance, Jungle, Big Beat, Acid Jazz, New Age scene of the era. US only got it's first major charting "EDM" song in 09 with "When Love Takes Over".
Because Radio dictated charts, it meant advertisers and labels dictated charts, and it meant that boomers had massive influence over what charted in the US, hence why songs that were decades old would regularly chart.
