Which song is next?

Am I the only one who knows which music will start when the current song ends? I can already hear it in my head, sometimes I even start humming along.

Now this must be a phenomenon related to the way music used to be available. Albums were released on vinyl, later on CD. There was no Spotify, no shuffle play, the music was always played in the same order.

Therefore I assume only older forum members may recognize this. Do you? In which case / song / album?

There are a ton of albums I've listened to so often back in the pre-internet days that, yes, I'm expecting a certain song to follow the one currently playing.

I think maybe Sgt Pepper's and Rumours might be the best examples of this. Play any song from one of those albums and I have in my mind what song is supposed to come next.
