I never listen radio, but I remember some friend saying he heard 'Who Wants To Live Forever' being aired sometime
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
When I was in Argentina they played allmost everything
while grcoery shopping they played radio ga ga, and later they played need your lovin.
in the car on the way to a beach city(Mar del Plata) they played love of my life, it's a hard life, Killer Queen, I want to break free
4 songs in 2 hours...
local radio they play wwry/watc-AOBTD- bo rhap sometimes...fat bottom girls as well.
MY GOD spell it write.
In Queenland The Netherlands I hear Queen songs very often. I hear Bo Rhap the most I think. Other popular songs are: Innuendo, I Want To Break Free, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, I Want It All, Radio Ga Ga.

Two Queen songs are involved in a tv commercial right now: Don't Stop Me Now and It's a Beautiful Day.
I got to try al little more, because I'm an asshole but I'm learning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfTLkUcQ7QY

Mejor yo me hecho una chela, y chance enchufo una chava, chambeando de chafirete, me sobra chupe y pachanga Tranzando de arriba a abajo, hay va la chilanga banda , chinchin si me la recuerdan
Here in saudi you can hear alot of Queen songs on the american forces network such as "CLTCL,BoRhap,FBG,and Killer queen" i also remember hearing AOBTD
once on the radio along time ago!!
that's enough about me, now, what do you think of me ?
Arnaldo, they really love Queen in Brazil, don't they? I had the impression, too, they're really huge there! But I didn't know they get so much airplay... WOW!!! Brazil rocks!

LOL, Mex, I LOVE this part of your sig: "There are two rules to success in life: 1. Don't tell people everything you know."

And Sonja, you're right, they're still big here. Even though, their current fame is "just a shadow of HOW HUGE IT used to be" :) And thanks for the compliments on us rocking :) Germany also hocks, I mean, rocks! :D

Cheers,

Post Hot Space still played in the USA that I've heard in the past two years...

One Vision, I Want It All, and Headlong.

And Driven By You if that counts.

Sad. Real fucking sad. It's also a result of the product the band released afterwards (discounting Innuendo and MIH)
Here in Philly I hear them on the radio spairingly.
Bo Rhap, WWRY/WATC, YMBF, AOBTD,CLTCL & Pressure get the most airplay. KQ is in there as well.
Other songs to air semiregularly, others rarely but have been heard through the years;
KYA, TYMD, IL, FBG,BR, Somebody, PTG NYLT, Mustapha, Y & I, Jesus.
Anything from, HS, Works, AKOM, Miracle, Innuendo, MIH was only played when it was new. BL hasn't aired since probablly late 1982!! Radio, and IWTBF came and went in 84, OV in Dec. 85. Magic barely made it into Sept. 86 I heard Pain is so... as a single at that time, it was trashed. IWIA was on for a little while. I also heard IM & the title track when it was released. Headlong made the most noise when it came out. It was in heave daily rotation into the spring of 91. ICLWY was in & out fast even though the DJ's loved it. I never heard anything from MIH ever.
"Take care of those you call your own"
Here in the Cleveland area they play Bo Rhap, Somebody to Love, WWRY/Chapmpions and Under Pressure.
The "lite rock" stations will play Killer Queen, Another One Bites, UP and Crazy. That's it unless the classic rock station is doing a special album side or some such thing, which often does not include Queen anyway.

MercuryArts, Philly sounds like a good place to be. I'd probably faint from astonishment if I heard Mustapha, You & I, or Jesus on the radio.
