DJs Charging for Overplayed Songs!

Ask a Question

Should DJs impose fees for requests of overplayed songs?

One DJ is charging £500 for "Wonderwall" and £1,000 for "Mr. Brightside." Is he onto something?

I mean he’s paid to provide the music the people who hired him want to hear. Even if they wanted to have mr brightside on repeat that’s not any of his concern

He obviously is on to something because if people are stupid enough to pay him then he deserves every penny, though I still think he is con jockey and I wouldn't even pay 50p.

Well that's certainly 1 DJ that I wouldn't be hiring, he doesn't own rights to the song so shouldn't be charging

It people are stupid enough to pay it more fool them. If the song is that popular the DJ will most likely play it anyway. I think the DJs are definitely on to something if they can get away with it. I just hope it's not really irritating songs that they get paid to repeatedly play.
