Was listing to the radio the other day here in Chicago and normally they play the hits of Queen which usually is AOBTD, BohRhap, Under Pressure, WATC, WWRY etc... but the other night I heard Keep Yourself Alive, The Show Must Go On, Play The Game, Tie Your Mother Down & Stone Cold Crazy! Was pretty cool hearing those since I’ve never heard them play on the radio! Just curious to hear what you guys have heard on the radio as well

''You Had to Be There'' by Roger on Russian Radio
Heard dragon attack in Montreal once. Definitely a rarity for radio.
Also heard ‘39 play while I was at the gap getting clothes for my kid. Pretty sure that was internet radio so less of a surprise.

I wants it all with the hard guitar in the middle on a rock station in Stockholm.
Heard I'm Going Slightly Mad on Polish Commercial Radio as well as Ride The Wild Wind on "Jedynka".
And another time I was working as a truck driver when I made a delivery I came into a big warehouse and they were blasting Barcelona allover. That was epic, had to stay around a bit longer.
Andres: you just reminded me that they played that at ikea along with the show must go on
Without a doubt, the oddest song I heard played on the radio was Fun It. It was around the time of the Jazz release. DJ's had more control on slipping in songs they liked back then, I believe. It was on a Detroit station.
Maybe not as surprising, this happened in the summer of 1980. The Game had just come out and AOBTD wasn't huge yet. A guy had pulled up in front of the ice cream shop my sister and I were entering(Baskin and Robbins). His car stereo was blaring and I heard "Now, a new one from Queen!" Dragon Attack started and the guy said to his girl, something like, "Be quiet, this song is awesome." I was pretty happy about that. They were still listening when we walked out with our ice cream.

I heard 'Nevermore' on Dutch Radio 3 once somewhere in the 90's.
It was about a month ago and I heard Jealousy on a local radio station here in Croatia.. I almost spilled my beer..
Good old fashioned lover boy on a German radio station. Sadly, they only played the song until the guitar solo come up :(
The Millionaire Waltz.
This song aired every day on the Bulgarian National Radio 15-20 years ago for at least one year.I guess the song was very special for some radio host.

This morning ‘Love of my Life’ was played on Dutch radio.
Liar and Doing Alright. This was over twenty years ago on Q107 in Toronto.

What Chicago radio station? Why did they play all the songs in the same night?
