If I were to hear Radio Ga Ga on the radio here in America, i would fall out of my chair in disbelief and then call the radio station to THANK THEM!        It's a criminally ignored song here in the States...and one of Queen's best IMO.

=====================

Ditto for my part of the world in Ontario, Canada.  In fact I'm virtually certain I have never heard anything on terrestrial radio past 'Body Language' with the exception of 'I Want to Break Free'.  In addition I hear 'Killer Queen', 'Bo Rhap', 'Best Friend,  'Somebody to Love', 'Rock You/Champions', 'Bicycle Race', 'Fat Bottomed Girls, "Crazy Little Thing' and 'Dust' that's about it.  Sometimes you'll hear 'Seven Seas of Rhye' or 'Keep Yourself Alive' or 'Now I'm Here' on some album track segments. Satellite is only marginally better as I think I've only heard 'Tie Your Mother Down', 'Gaga' and 'Innuendo' once or twice beyond those already listed.  I want to say I've also heard 'Black Queen' once, but I might be making that up. And I've got an artist alert set to notify me when a Queen song is playing on any station on satellite at any time no matter what I'm currently listening to, so it's unlikely there's much more played unless it's all played when I don't have the radio on (unlikely).  It's such a crying shame, especially on satellite when they've got programming like 'Classic Vinyl' and 'Deep Tracks' where all the off-hit gems should be showcased.

I'm in NY and agree with you.  Why don't they play ragio Ga Ga?...it was even a top 40 hit.  I don't get it.

That's GOTTA be "Football Fight" or "A Human Body"...

...i'm sick to death of those bloody tracks!
"Come tonight! Come see the Overbite! Come to Ogre Battle, FIGHT!"

Haha.. Football Fight! definatly!

No, but really, WWRY should not be played anymore. Only the last chord can be played at the start of WATC. but no more!

In Argentina, the following three have been so overplayed that I ALWAYS skip them when listening to the albums, and I haven´t included them in the music I have in my computer:

We are the Champions / WWRY / Friends will be friends

And guess what? I sing in a choir and we are rehearsing WATC and WWRY. I think I already hate them.

Also quite overplayed:

I want to break free
Radio Ga Ga
Crazy little thing called love
Bo Rhap (however, I'll never get tired of listening to it)
Love of my Life

My first reply! I'm a long time reader. I'm in America, Missouri in fact, and I nearly died when I heard '39 on the radio today.

I've heard Bo Rhap, WWatC/WWRY, AOBtD, Under Pressure, Fat Bottomed Girls, and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Pretty sure that's it. I don't listen to the radio enough to consider anything overplayed on there, although people play those first three songs on their ipods all the time.

I'm in some disbelief that there are places in the world where Heaven for Everyone and You Don't Fool Me are considered overplayed. Get me a ticket for any place where that is the case.

pietrek's comment in particular made me want to live in Poland. Are all those songs seriously overplayed there? You basically just listed all of Greatest Hits I and II, and even a little of III. That's insane.

First off, there is no way Bohemian Rhapsody could ever be overplayed. Greatest single of all time.[/QUOTE]
I agree with you on the second part of that comment, but not the first part.

And that's it? That's odd. I don't particularly like those songs in the first place, and I've never heard them on the radio.

I've heard "Staying Power" play on the radio at least once by where I live!
I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me-Freddie Mercury

Bohemian Rhapsody


---and sometimes---

You dont fool me

Under Pressure

Here in Australia the most common by far is Rock You/Champions, always back to back. Bo Rhap isn't uncommon either. After that would come Don't Stop Me Now, Under Pressure and pretty infrequently Break Free, Dust and Ga Ga. Surprising that tracks like Friends Will Be Friends and You Don't Fool Me get airplay elsewhere.
