This has been on my mind for years now:

Why do most radio stations insist on playing the same selection of songs over and over?

I imagine it must be a copyrights thing? Pay for usage of this particular catalogue for a year?

Don’t those DJs get absolutely sick of it after a while?

Because record label media companies own 98% of radio stations via iHeartRadio, Clear Media and Audacy.

They want them to brainwash the media with their newest releases from their artists to convince them that it's good music by playing it non stop adnauseam
