"Why Classic Rock Isn't What It Used To Be"

Fivethirtyeight.com has an interesting analysis of regional variations in classic rock, and how more contemporary songs have snuck into it (in some regions more than others).

One could also do a similar analysis of others "genres" (or "radio formats", if you prefer), such as adult contemporary. I remember being surprised (many years ago now) the first time I heard Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" on an adult contemporary station.
