The bottom line - Big Audio Dynamite SWR FM. Never heard the song before but its great they dig up songs like these.
Second Chance - 38 Special
Currently playing on 2DAY ā¦ Even on their new format, not a song Iād thought they would play.
Itās smack bang in the middle of WS or GOLD territory.

Macho Man - Village People
Heard at the SAME TIME on Coles Radio and FUN Digital in Sydney earlier tonight.
A song you rarely hear on FM, so I would have thought the chances of hearing that on the radio on 2 different stations at the same time would have been very slim, even if they are digital stations.

I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston on Hit 96.9 this morning.

A bit strange for a regional hit station to be playing 80ās music.

I reckon there should be more of it on the regional Hit stations, particularly given the amount of talk and sport on Triple M.
I also think that particular song is pretty timeless in a way. I heard it recently in a movie aimed squarely at teenagers/young adults.

Agree, if the regional Hit stations played more 80ās music, I may start listening to the station again.

The regional Star FMs played quite a bit of 80s music in the early 2000s at a time when the 80s were largely shunned on AC stations around Sydney. I could definitely see some of the poppier and dancier 80s tunes (Prince, Madonna, MJ) getting a run. The rockier 80s hits are played on MMM of course.

2DAY FM just played the country music version of Shania Twainās āIf Youāre Not In It For Loveā as opposed to the pop version.
Odd choice in my view.

Again probably another song that would play well on regional Hit stations. Maybe they are using 2day as a bit of a model of how they might tweak the regional Hit stations during the day at least.

96 Tears- ? AND THE MYSTERIANS
Living In The Past- JETHRO TULL
Both on The Breezeās log this morning. These tracks are better suited to Rebel, especially the former which is regarded as one of the first proto-punk songs. I really love both tracks though so I donāt care which station theyāre played on.
I would suggest itās not an intentional effort to play that version, and more likely either an inexperienced MD on Selector, or their new music library in Zetta not having the āknownā version.
Today I heard the non Norman Cook remix of āBrimful Of Ashaā by Cornershop on 2Day. It was never a hit, and not the version everyone knows.

Heard Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band in Smooth FM this morning. Fantastic song but hardly what Iād consider āSmooth/Easy Listeningā

I think itās mellow enough for Smoothā¦
I wouldnāt expect them to play āJet Airlinerā or āRock N Meāā though.
They are a bit rockier than āAbracadabraā.

I think itās just mellow enough for Smooth. Itās a bit āsoul/r&bā in sound even though itās not considered r&b I guess. They play this one on LA station The Wave, which is an easy listening station but leans toward soul hits (eg Stevie Wonder, some Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin)
