Is Hot 97 Going Soft?

Hot 97 in New York used to be the best station in the city, and maybe the country for rap and hip-hop music. The station's motto is still "Where Hip-Hop Lives."
In recent days while surfing the stations, I have heard the following songs on Hot 97 "Get Lucky" - Daft Punk, "Treasure" - Bruno Mars and "Royals" - Lorde.
I couldn't believe my ears so I checked the playlist on hot97.com and it confirmed what I heard. I like all three of those songs, but no one would argue that they are hip-hop joints.
What the hell is happening to Hot 97?
