Do radio stations still conduct "guess the song" contests
where the audience hears but a couple of seconds of a
portion of some song? and you listen to a long list of
call-ins that guess incorrectly -- the jackpot grows with
each wrong answer.
Not sure if this was "chartsweep," but I remember pop
stations reverse-consecutive playing top 100 lists over many
days, and then after finally climaxing with number-1, they'd
run this frenzied compliation of brief snatches from the
playlist.
Pop music, c&w, polkas, hip-pop... it's really all the same:
it's Marching Music. *sigh*

"It's about using the sample in a way that it doesn't directly rip off the sound of the original... It's a shame that has been done as often as it has. It means that the price of buying samples is enormous. We think just paying respects in the sleeve is probably enough but the courts disagree." - Darren Feltmann of The Avalanches
