Is there a motive behind seemingly overplayed songs on the radio?

For some reason I have been noticing certain songs being played on the radio more often than usual popular songs since mid 2010. Most of the seemingly overplayed music appears to be of the Hip-Hop variety or of a similar type.
Examples include:
"Dynamite" by Taio Cruz
"Baby I Like it" by Enrique Iglesias
"Poker Face" by Lady Gaga

I don't know why but is it possible that this is overplaying of a certain genre of music
intentional for some reason(brainwash,dumbing down,mind control,etc.)

That is not hip hop.

this is hip hop

This doesn't happen at the station where I work. They can't get people to spin most of the stuff that's sent in!

I've never personally been bribed to play music. Sometimes, bands will insist but that's easily ignored, especially if their music is #.

music is an expression of a raw emotion.

love, hate, lust, kill, rebel, adore, protect etc..

after they killed off the golden generation of musicians (bob, john, jim, jimi, etc etc etc) they decided they couldn't stop people making music that carried influence (e.g. anti vietnamism) so what was their only alternative?

flooding the market with passion/soul-less sh#t from under-sexed teenagers with no experience in life... Idolism could then promtote the word of the man instead!
