  IDK, I think sometimes songs are better sped up, but I'm really into EDM. Here's a good example of what I'm talking about: regular version vs fast version. There, the fast version is clearly superior. Nonetheless, let's say it's unpopular and give you an upvote! :)
context: I have never noticed this in my life, as you stated...I want to listen to an actual radio station now and check it out! I haven't tuned into a radio station in years! ...too many commercials but I need to hear this now! >
  
  most noticable one I heard today was Made You Look from Meghan Trainor, and then directly after was DJ Got Us Falling In Love Again, Usher. 92.5FM
  They probably don't have Copyrights to play it, so they speed it up and set the notes higher. But this specific station always makes it "between two piano keys-" so basically it's impossible to play on piano because the sounds the radio makes don't exist on said piano.
  So it sounds wrong to musical brains. >
  
  Agreed - the Alvin sound is awful. True, I may not always notice or be bothered be small tempo changes. Depends on the song. Hey - you forgot to mention Kids' Bop. lol >
  
  103.1 CKMM (Virgin Radio) in Winnipeg just decided to key everything up a whole tone and speed it up accordingly one day a few months ago, and it pisses me off.
  That being said, pop radio has committed far bigger sins than that, mostly that it’s the most stale, conservative and artistically bankrupt of the three listening formats that get measured on the Hot 100 and so is keeping the quality of the pop charts down all by itself.
