Greetings, I have been around a long time in this radio business, 45 plus years. This whole thing started by trying to squeeze more time into a hour, more music, play the same number of songs as the other guy and have room for one more spot, etc, etc, etc.
This can be done by enforcing length. Pitching up the song makes it sound unnatural, especially when people now days hear the song on a lot more sources then back in the day when we sped up turntables. back then, you were probably the only source of music for your format in the market. pitch it up now days and soon people will ask, how come that song sounds weird on your station. what to play it faster, enforce length. otherwise this is just silly, want better ratings? improve your content, fix your squashed processing, that will probably bring in a lot more listeners than speeding up your music. If it takes some stupid gimmick to make you feel like you have a chance at good ratings, perhaps another profession!
