Why do people only listen to the radio tracks when they buy a cd?
i was wondering when people buy cds why do they only intend to listen to the songs that were played on the radio instead of giving the ones that were not a chance as for me when i buy cds i listen to the ones on the radio and the give the ones that were not a chance

Want to answer more questions in the Hobbies category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
This is common for people who listen to stuff like pop (etc.). These people have a herd mentality when it comes to music and listen to what is "in". Songs that that are popular are played for the few months that they remain in the limelight and then they move on. I call it the kleenex approach to music.
You won't see this with people who are into music because they love it and not because the rest of the herd is listening to it. What you describe is uncommon for genres like metal, classical, jazz, blues, etc.

People tend to do this if they're unfamiliar with the artist.
I'm a radio presenter and I do this all the time, but give the others a go when I'm busy, like tidying up etc, and I'll be like "that was good".
This doesn't happen as much now with downloads, people can just buy that one song off the radio that they like.
However, with fandoms like Beliebers and directioners, they will buy the CD and listen to all the songs.
I think to answer your question, its because most people these days have hectic/busy lifestyles, so simply do not have time to sit back and appreciate new music and give it a go. So they just stick to what they know because its more convenient and cheaper :)

I used to wonder the same thing all the time...come to find out it's because they like the idea of being able to listen to the song they like all the time whenever they want. Where as on the radio, you have to wait for the song.
