Am I clairvoyant because I always play music on youtube that plays just minutes later on the radio?

Asked by Nevada83 (952points) August 20th, 2016

Okay, so many times lately, I’ll be listening to a song on Youtube… then a few minutes later, I’ll take off my headphones… There it is, playing on the FM radio… I’m aware this is just luck, but how unlikely is that???

If you’re listening to Top 40 music, it’s not surprising at all.

If you were listening to Gregorian Chant, I’d be shocked.

You’re more in tune with that song too .. so you’re more likely to hear it. Just like before a flight you suddenly hear about planes more or see planes in the air more… etc, either that or you’re a magician?

I happen to see same songs playing on music channels..that’s mostly because they are playing same set of popular songs time and again..)

Yes, I think you are.

It’s relative. You like the song, therefore you notice it. It’s the same effect when you buy a used car you like. You’re like, “Yeah, i like my new(ly acquired) car. It’s pretty sweet.” & then you notice more people own the same kind of vehicle. It’s not that you were unaware, it’s simply you never noticed before.
