What Is An “Oh Wow”? And Should You Play Any?

In my radio listening, I hear something that makes me say “oh wow” about once a week. It’s a pretty eclectic bunch of fairly deep songs. Yesterday on CKOI Montreal, it was “I Just Wanna Live,” the 2004 CHR mid-charter by Good Charlotte. Last week on Portugal’s AC RFM network, it was “Oh My God,” which snapped Adele’s hit streak in 2021. The week before, I was listening to Robby Bridges’ new retro top 20 countdown, covering 1990. That year is rich in lost hits, but “Girls Night Out” by Tyler Collins is the one I singled out.
