a kind of magic would get some airtime here and there on Australian radio
Fat Bottomed Girls
Man in the Prowl
Flash
Fuckers
Rain Must Fall - back in '89 in NZ.
Not sure why it was played but the DJ's mics were left on mistakenly while it was playing & one of them said he hated it!!

Yeah here in Perth we get it heaps. Don't really hear any besides there hits over here.
10 years ago or so. Was driving back home from work and a spanish radio station played the studio version of White Queen.
'A Winter's Tale' on Polish radio in Christmas 2016. Although it's not that surprising because 'Made In Heaven' won an award for the best foreign album of the 1995 year and Queen members were for the first time in Poland (at least officially) to receive a statuette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s71JyTbydVg

As a result 5 songs from that album can be heard on commercial radio stations here:
1. Heaven For Everyone - very often
2. You Don't Fool Me - very often
3. A Winter's Tale - I have heard it that one time
4. I Was Born To Love - my mum said to me a few months ago they played a live version of this song which obviously turned out to be a MiH version. But Freddie's version can be heard almost everyday.
5. Too Much Love Will Kill You - I have heard it one time about 2 years ago
In 1991. The radio DJ of my local radio station played the flip side of Headlong by mistake...
All gods people.

Drowse on Radio 2 (the pop oriented national radio station) Iceland. It was 2002 or 2003. The guy I was working with wasn't impressed and said it didn't even sound like Freddie ;)
Brighton Rock on BBC Radio 2
The day after Freddie dies, Simon Bates played a whole morining of Queen and "Drowse" popped up..always thought he meant to play something else
In Serbia on radio stations often playing Queen. Mostly their bigest hits but also Love Of My Life, Man On The Prowl, Tie Your Mother Down, Brian's version of Too Much Love Will Kill You, some live versions (often I Want To Break Free, with Paul Rodgers) etc.
I heard once Rain Must Fall. I recently heard Freddie's Your Kind Of Lover. Once I heard Man Made Paradise.
