All music on radio stations are performed live by the band in the studio

I used to believe that the music I heard on the radio was always live, so I didn't understand how bands could travel from one radio station to another in a matter of seconds.

I'm sure that Im not the only one according to some posts but I actually thought that all the songs on the radio were played by the musicians themselves on site.LOL...I can just picture the confusion , bands setting up and taking down their equipment , bands coming back to the station 5 hours later only to do the same song.

I used to believe that when listening to the radio the music was being played live by the band. If my Mum ever switched to a different station and I heard the same song I imagined that the band had piled into the back of a van and sped across town to the next studio.

I used to believe that every time a song played on the radio that the actual band came in and played there song... I always thought those radio people were very busy rushing people in and out of the studio.

When I was younger I used to think that every time a song was played on the radio, the band would have to play it live, again and again and again. I imagined some sort of large building where all the bands worked and played their songs a few times a day. I thought they must get really bored just waiting around for their next turn.

When I was about five, I used to think that music on radio came from bands who were actually in the studio for every song. I wondered how the Village People could get from one studio to the next so quickly.
