Boom has 15 Bowie tracks in rotation, 8 Floyd.

I listen to Boom quite a bit and don't recall hearing anything other than "Let's Dance" and "China Girl" from Bowie. Bowie has 26 albums and 128 singles(!!).  Shirley, they can play some more variety.  I've always wondered if it's because of some kind of licensing restrictions or just because they only play what's considered popular.

Kind of depends on the day or point in time, but I seem to have seen more on Boom than just those two: usually the regular rotation shakes up every so often to give them a chance, or they get requests or 70s at 7/Totally 80s play. I've heard the big ones like Space Oddity, Changes, Modern Love, Starman, sometimes Ziggy, the rather uncommon ones like Golden Years, Ashes To Ashes and Blue Jean, and even Jean Genie and Diamond Dogs have been played at some point IIRC.

I feel like generally Boom tends to have more music on hand than they seem to usually let on but they enjoy sprucing things up a bit every once in a while to have fun and get some more uncommon songs airtime with their little events. Q does have a bit of a better regular-rotated span of songs in some places, but for some artists they're too limited in scope to what they can play and they only really do one out-of-the-ordinary rotation song play during the day as a request, maybe two if you're lucky...
