Did They Really Just Play That?

I’ve heard Chanson D’Amour on classic hits stations and Smooth.

Ça plane pour moi less often.

99 Luftballons?

Sukiyaki topped the charts worldwide in the early 60s, including Australia. I have heard it on the radio before, but not for a very long time.

Almost, except the number 99 is mentioned in English.

Awesome.

Welcome back!

Yeah I did, though it must be on a straight line behind Mt Coot-tha from where I am, reception other than at home with the external aerial is still poor. Drive 10 minutes any direction and it comes good again but not quite around here

Yes they’re very good again here in Morningside and south eastern suburbs. But not good in the south west if Mt Coot-tha is a blocker.

That raised my eyebrow a bit too…though was part of a “Classic 9 At 9” which is theme based.

Didn’t listen for long enough to hear what the theme was.. but the previous song was “Evie” Stevie Wright.

8.25am on KIIS Brisbane: On my mind - Powederfinger
Thought this would be more suited on the MMMs

Really feeling like 97.3 is leaning into 4MMMs space a bit lately.

Mind you, I heard Madonna on 4MMM the other day too, so it goes both ways

It seems a little weird at first, but a lot of Hot AC stations in North America sprinkle in the odd harder track as part of the Hot AC format.

Speaking of which, 8.25am 12/3/2026 I heard Rolling In The Deep - Adele on 4MMM. Actually double checked to see if I was tuned to 97.3 or River94.9

Song has been previously been mentioned here before, but right now on the Triple M regionals via MMM Newcastle 102.9 is “Breathless” by The Corrs since today is St Paddy’s Day, hence today’s “Double Shot Tuesday” theme is Irish artists. Kind of acceptable for the Regional MMMs to play this type of song compared to Sydney and Melbourne.

Triple J is currently playing Divinyls - “I Touch Myself”

Surely that’s more suited for Double J but I do recall hearing “I Touch Myself” on the Hottest 100 Australian Songs of All Time last July.

I see you and raise you

I’m presuming there was context to this otherwise it’s a significant “what the” moment

And Speaking of Divinyls, i apparently heard “Boys in Town” on 2NUR FM Newcastle 103.7 as part of their Saturday Night Party Mix…I had to triple check that if I was listening to Triple M since that song is overplayed fodder on that station.
