Killer Queen
Breakthru

The Show Must Go on
And most of the other GH I and II

When I am in the office during 10.00 -18.00 at least every 2 hrs 1 Queen song is played. Most of the DJ's have a airtime of 2 hours. Even on the popular stations which only play recent hits you can hear a Queen song. They never play the Stones though... Perhaps because Queen their music is timeless .... Wonder what it wil be in 50 years from now.


The weirdest thing I ever encountered was the instrumental guitar bid of Who Needs You in a TV Program.

Now Ghost, Radio 2 is not thé radio station for Queen. With exception of Ga Ga, Best Friend, Every year when the Top 2000 arrives I feel an anti Queen, for the number 1 spot that is. Even Frits Spits who was the man who had the scoop for a Queen album before it's release has turned over. At Giel, I've never heard a Queen song.

The most played Queen tracks in Russia are:
- The Show Must Go On (the MOST played)
- We Will Rock You
- We Are The Champions
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- I Want To Break Free
You can hear them almost every day!

These tracks are also played very often:
- A Kind Of Magic
- Radio GaGa
- Crazy Little Thing Called Love
- Friends Will Be Friends

Among solo hits you can catch these three rather often:
- Living On My Own (1993)
- Barcelona
- I Was Born To Love You (!)

I'm from Mar del Plata, Argentina, and sometimes listen to a radio called "Radio X" which very often plays some Queen songs, mainly non greatest hits. This last two weeks I've catched 'Spread Your Wings', 'Somebody to Love', 'Dragon Attack', 'Fight from the Inside', and 'Scandal'!

Definitely there's someone there who loves Queen. Sometimes two or three songs are played in the same day, and in different programs. I can imagine that a lot more of songs are played during the week.

There's a program in that radio called "Discopolis", which makes an analysis for different albums every week and in June 22nd they played the whole ADatR.


You know, might the information they while the album was being played is not very interesting for a fan, but yes for the general public. Anyway, when I hear a Queen song in the radio I get like "SHhH SHH!! Shut up everyone!" and have that kind of feeling that I know that someone else is listening to it with me somewhere, a shared feeling.

Here in the good old NZ we have three major radio stations that play Queen and a few local ones that would do from time to time.

More FM which plays hits from the 70's to now, They regularly play Queen but mainly your radio friendly 3min Queen hits such as Your my BF, crazy little thing called love and the very select 80's ones such as under presser and break free.

The Rock which markets the slogan playing the rock hits of the 90's 2000's and now.. . Hey play anything rock from the 60s such as your Rolling stones, Black Sabbath and the Led Zep's and of course Queen!! is a regular esp in the work day 10am-1pm work request's... The popular Queen track at the moment is Headlong followed closely by I want it all and is the most likely radio station that will play Bohemian Rhap (The Rock does a top 1000 every year it takes two weeks straight to complete between 9am-5pm weekdays and two years back it got to no 3!!! usually around 10) and they also play a version of tie your mother down I can't seem to find anywhere...? that "ooo yeah" at the beginning... freddie does it twice. Must add..! They have a fukin good morning show you can stream live 530-10am NZT 6pm ish UK time. "The Morning rumble". hey its a NZ show but there is a lot of relevance to the rest of the world with funny topics such as (bad things you have done at work embarrassing moments etc etc..), very funny and worth a listen... A change from your guys local station... and it has a good following around the world)

And the Sound FM (another one worth the live stream) which plays all of the true music from the 60s 70s and 80s some straight of the vinyl and the b sides and extended play's. They play Queen three times a day plus and the fav track that gets regular play is Keep yourself alive!! and doin all right!! and have played She makes me...

The other day one of the radio stations I forget which one played Heaven for Everyone which surprised me as that's hardly ever played on the radio

The songs people mentioned played in the UK are about right

Greece ( ...as far as i know)

1) The Show Must Go On ( by far)
2) Bohemian Rhapsody
3) I Want To Break Free
4) You Dont Fool Me
5) We Are The Champions
6) Under Pressure
7) Another One Bites The Dust

Thank you guys- all of you ! Some nice inside but I`am still interested in places like Asia especially Japan.
