Hi, Just because your songs are 3minutes doesn't mean you can't have 3 events that are 10 seconds long towards the end of the hour that pull in the songs. This means that in your clock you are taking up 30seconds of time but in reality you'll have 9minutes of songs for overfilling.
On the hour you'll need a hard time with a stop event (to prevent playing early). Personally I also have an aux log with a 5 second fade down prior to the hour so that the audio doesn't abruptly cut out.
