Criticism

Nova have received criticism for frequently rotating songs on their playlist. In a piece about the 2020 ARIA Music Awards, NME Australia's Andrew P. Street wrote that the 2004 rollout of Nova FM had "accidentally turned Thirsty Merc and Missy Higgins into stars, before the network swapped to its current format of 14 endlessly repeated songs."
