How do Radio Stations play songs? Do they have the license for every song?

Are some songs cheaper?? Do you just buy a huge license and some company distributes all that money?

This may be just one subscription system among many but it’s the one I know about. A long time ago, you can apply and pay for a subscription service where every month they send you a CD of the genre of music for your radio station (or club or whatever you are DJing for). So if I owned a club and wanted to play country music I can get a monthly CD of the top 40 of country songs. Dance, alt rock, hip hop, contemporary Christian, whatever. It was called Promo Only and it was limited to industry professionals. Don’t even dare to try to pirate it. How dishonorable! Would you download a car?
