Yes, Top-40 stations had a "tiny" playlist- but it was not the same playlist
month after month, year after year- it was constantly changing with new
songs coming on and old ones dropping off according to the latest Billboard
ratings.  This is what kept it sounding new and fresh.  I remember as a teen
eagerly awaiting Sundays nights when my local station introduced the new
additions each week.   It was a big deal.
