I once worked in radio in this area. All programming decisions are informed by national music charts. Stations can see which songs were added/dropped in any given week and they all just follow those charts.
In addition to that, record labels are always pushing (often paying) for their songs to be added. I once loved this medium but, after seeing how the sausage is made and how little money it provides it's people, I can't stand it.
