It reached #37 on the Australian singles charts in 1988. In fact, it was a sequel to their 1986 hit “Your Wildest Dreams”, which was a bigger hit, in which it reached #20.

We Are Glass- GARY NUMAN
XLFM now. Pulling out the rarities on a Saturday night again. Loving the fact XL gets in to Bungendore loud and clear.
Obviously it’s a better option than listening to 2GN on AM, at least before that eventually converts to FM as well. 
You have a decent selection of adult music commercial stations available there, in which you also have 2CA available on both AM & DAB+. In a way, it’s better than what Sydney gets (DAB-only stations excluded).
Glad you enjoy it Laoma. And yes A80s will be continuing regardless of any “covid shutdown”.
How Come - The Sports
Played on the 2SM Super Radio Network just after the 2pm news this afternoon during “Straight Talk” with Poppy.
Looking at the chart an interesting song was Strokin’ by Clarence Carter, I had not heard for years. I wonder if the song was played much on radio given the lyrics or more correctly the topic being more explicit.
I was a fan of listening to the top 40 around that time. The Olivia Newton John song I don’t think I have heard before, The rumour. Definitely a lost track from years gone by.
Good to hear the Awesome 80s will press on, @matt86 . Especially no footy for potentially months to come.
I hope iheartradio (like they have with American top 40) could revive Tape 40 Australia shows of the 80s & 90s. Not sure if Tape 40 Australia was on air in the 70s.
Edit this answered my question
Wonder what was on the radio before that.
Blur, “Country House” on Triple M Brisbane this morning ,part of the 'Classic 9 at 9, 1995 today 
Would rather hear this one instead of the overflogged ‘Song 2’
The Darkness - One Way Ticket, Rebel FM this morning
From their less successful second album, back around 2006 or so? And I don’t reckon I’ve heard it played on the radio since it came out then. Still an enjoyable track though
Charmless Man is another one of their songs you never hear now.
This is a DX song for me as I heard it on The Rock via Es at the time of release. The Darkness were all the rage in 2003-04.
For me, another (now somewhat distant) memory from the once-great rock station I grew up with in Geelong…
The Darkness were one of a few guitar rock bands of the 2000s that seemed to enjoy throwing their musical style back to a bygone era, and ‘Permission to Land’ was a fantastic album from the time (for mine ‘Love Is Only A Feeling’ was their best track). Now you’d be pretty hard-pressed to hear them aside from the occasional play of ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’ on radio.
Yes they were obviously aping Queen but they did it well. Same with Spacehog’s ‘In The Meantime’- a track I never get sick of hearing.
Another great track, 3MMM used to play that every now and then but I can’t say I’ve heard it much in recent times
According to Lava, it’s been played quite a lot on The Rock & Radio Hauraki in NZ over the last couple of weeks. 4MMM played it after 9am yesterday morning (1st April), whilst 2MMM played it last Wednesday (25th March) just before 4pm.
Janis Joplin - Piece of my Heart on Rebel, God bless them!
Out Of My Head- FASTBALL
Forever Jurassic XLFM now. You rarely hear anything other than ‘The Way’ from Fastball.
You’re An Ocean was their best IMO
Agreed.
I preferred “Fire Escape” to both.
I still recall hearing that one on the good old ROX FM from up your way in the late 90s.
I sorta kinda miss ROX.
2RE used to be a good listen back in the 90s too. 2MC same old same old.
