Listening for Electrophones on 4 Different Radio Stations

I listened to four different radio stations for an hour in order to hear electrophones. The first station, 99.1 FM, is a country station and during the 15 minutes I listened to it, I heard 3 songs, none of which used any electrophones.
The second station, 103.9 FM, is a rock station. Of the 4 songs I heard on here, one of them used an electrophone, namely, a synthesizer. The song Jump by Van Halen was played and a distinct synthesizer was played throughout the entire song. The famous sound of this song is made by its synthesizer.
The third radio station, 94.5 FM, plays top 40 songs. Once again I heard no electrophones played. The final station, 102.9 FM, is a Hip-Hop/R&B station and of the 2 songs I heard (too many commercials), one of them used a vocal synthesizer: Bartender by T-Pain ft. Akon. T-Pain is famous for using this vocal synthesizer in his songs.
