I only get new songs when requested. I used to get the monthly Zoom Pop Chart Pics but stopped doing that since 90% of the time none of those songs get sung. It's still the same tried and true classic songs that sung all the time. If I wanted, I could run a show on only 500 classic songs from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's. And of course, country. And it would be a great night and everyone would be happy.
Now, I'm going to let you in on a little secret... today's music is junk. Not all of it, but so much of it. There is no comparison to 80's music. That's why it's still so popular and gets sung the most, even by the kids. Sorry, but todays music just isn't up to the classic songs we know and love... in fact, I wouldn't even call some of it music... pure crap.
Totally agree with the last statement. The actual genre of today that really has staying power is today's Country. And even some of that is pure crap. I primarily stick to classic rock myself. And like Alan, I only buy what I don't have based on actual requests. If I had to start over, I probably would choose to get the Supercore SuperCDG set and then just buy on the fly for the rest. I'd convert the SuperCDG set with Karaoke Ware's SuperCDG convertor.
