Now would be a good time to give Wayne Mac’s ‘Retro Stream’ a plug. It specialises in forgotten radio hits. It only runs during the weekend but is curated by Wayne himself, so the music flows well together. This weekend he’s doing a ‘90’s and beyond’ feature:

Thanks for the tip. Looks like another great online stream.
Thanks for the heads up, just having a bit of a listen now…
It also runs on Fridays too by the looks it… I haven’t heard any voice breaks yet after 10 songs either, so I assume it’s wholly automated with no voice tracks.
The music is a bit of mixture of ‘forgotten’ songs as you say plus others that are quite well known that still get a bit of airplay on commercial radio (eg. have heard ‘Human Touch’ - Bruce Springsteen, ‘If Tomorrow Never Comes’ - Ronan Keating, ‘Together Again’ - Janet Jackson and ‘Hanging By A Moment’ - Lifehouse) in those last 10 songs.

It’s all music with no announcing but the playlist is put together by Wayne. There are some IDs by Ron E Sparks. You’re right, it usually starts around 1600 on Friday afternoon and runs through to Sunday evening.

On Power FM Muswellbrook during their “Flashback Lunch” which is mostly 90s to 10s songs (up at Maitland as I type).

Those 2 songs on Smooth are just awful. For me they are great examples of what’s wrong with Smooth at the moment.
Havana - a staple song on K Rock Geelong.
Dancing in the Moonlight - used to be flogged to death on Nova when it commenced transmission. The video was on high rotation on Channel [V] and MAX (both RIP).

I always associate Dancing in the Moonlight with regional radio stations for some reason. I tend to hear it way more often in regional areas comapred to metro stations.

Perhaps because the country skies are cleaner out here, you can actually see the moon here 
I could not agree more. That Dancing in the Moonlght songs gets flogged to death on the regional Triple M stations

I think tonight was the first time I’d heard the Classic 9 at 9 in its entirety - so many good 2004 throwbacks.

I always equate this song with the moment 80s music officially died, and music in general started going downhill

I’m not a big fan of this song either👎

Bless My Soul by Powderfinger is a surprising one! Underrated song from them.

The Freshmen - The Verve Pipe.
Just played on Triple M Melbourne (and probably other metros) as part of the Top 99 of the 90s countdown they are doing this weekend. A return to normal transmission immediately with some safe Pearl Jam.
