I was using radio paradise a couple of years ago, where I discovered a lot of new musics and it was great. But also I wanted to listen to some of my favorite songs (things I listened when I was a teenager and some more commercials titles) and I went to a streaming service. Sometimes I regret radio paradise and the discovering of new things. But also, I like how streaming services allow me to listen to old (and new) things more "commercial".

I usually listen to my local playlist in my day to day life and Radio Paradise is not exactly to my taste, but I occasionally like it as background music when receiving people. It's less random than my playlist, and I trust it to play good music. And if the music is bad, it's the radio's fault :-)
You could also rip it and listen to it, skipping songs you don't like. That's allowed after their FAQ if you don't split by songs, and I'm no one to advise you do split.
For more "commercial" music (Top 40 stuff), since you mentioned it: I used to listen to Fréquence 3 [1] all day. French webradio, but it's just music, and ad free. But as top 40 turned more R&B, I became less interested (it's not a criticism, I just don't enjoy it). Maybe it's just a period, I haven't checked what it's like currently. But I have the same issue as you, I have not updated my playlist as often as I would like since then.
There's also La Grosse Radio [2] which is nice. Also ad free and just music, mostly, IIRC.

Are you French? If so, "bonjour de la part d'un autre français perdu dans les méandres d'internet"
