How common was it for radios to play music from the mid and late parts of the old decade in the early part of a new decade?
I’m talking about the early parts of the 2010s and back.
In the early 2010s, I still heard mid to late 2000s music played on radios, but they were overshadowed by Red One style electro-pop, club-rap, indie or hipster music.

Radio is different now than it was. I'd say in the late '10s it went through a pretty massive shift. First, if a station is owned by iHeartMedia, is has a syndicated playlist no matter which city you are in. Second, the iHeartMedia formula is a lot more recurrent and gold-heavy than it once was, meaning you will hear older songs. Most iHeartMedia Top 40 stations still play songs like Rude Boy, Airplanes, and Single Ladies quite frequently. Most people looking for cutting edge music today aren't tuning into FM radio to hear it. The FM industry has responded by making their stations more targeted to how people actually listen to it. It's going through a transition similar to what AM went through in the 70s and 80s.

In late 1998 and early 1999 you barely heard older music. A number of songs from 1997- very early1998 were there but only select hits, like savage garden, Robyn and will smith etc I remember they aggressively tried to erase core, mid and to some extent late 90s hits like very early Backstreet Boys, older Hanson, early Aqua and most spice girls hits were not played/barely played or cool. They did play a lot of Y2K sounding early to mid 1998 hits sometimes more then they were played then, but a lots of hits from then like ace of base cruel summer and ghetto superstar were semi dated and not played as much. 1995-1996 tried to erase a lot of dark, edgy and druggie music from 1991-1994 in favor of pop/rock, lighter gangsta rap, and watered down safer alternative. I barely remember hearing nirvana on the radio, probably just the man who the world.

It was really fun back then and there was a lot of emphasis on new and cutting edge. And I agree...in 1999 it was rare to hear songs from before 1997 on a standard Top 40 station. Hot AC maybe, but not Kiss FM.

Hot AC maybe, but not Kiss FM. I prefer 1991-1996/1997. I felt radio was going downhill in 1998, with some decent music in the midst of a lot of repetitive and cheap sounding stuff from then (imo), and then it got slightly better in 2002 to 2004. Actually around the very end of 1998, a big chunk of 1997, even late 1997 songs, were not played, only a number of 97 hits that blended with late 1998-early 1999 zeigeist. Also very tiny amount of 1996 songs like aayaliah one in million singles, Joan Osborne - what if god was one of us, Jamiqoroi virtual insanity, ginuwine singles, tupac remixes and very Y2K sounding daft punk/european techno hits from 96-97 as well. Sometimes you would hear atlantis morsiette or some soft rock hits from 1993, but everything prior was like mostly gone, except for retro radio hours, where it was mid 80s and earlier, especially by 1999-2000. I did not hear one classic mid 90s eurodance song in 1999, the last time was summer 1998, but just a few songs. Tbh I think night of roxbury was filmed in 1997 or early 1998 and released in late 1998, but it was very very dated when it came out.
