I heard ‘Never Surrender’ on Wave FM (Wollongong) once but I’ve never heard it since, anywhere. Even ‘Sunglasses At Night’ is a stretch for many stations.

“It Ain’t Enough” would get even less airplay than both.

Usually listen to Star 104.5 as I can usually pick it up from this part of Sydney.
Some of my favourites Murder on the Dance floor - Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Mercy - Duffy, How Far we’ve come - Matchbox Twenty.
They also had some Selena Gomez which i like her new track to go with 13 Reasons Why series 2 - Back To You as well as her older stuff - Kill em with Kindness, Hands to Myself, Slow Down etc.
Always And Ever - Southern Sons
Now Playing on Easy Hits Digital.
Forgot that this 1990 song ever existed.
I think it was the follow up single to “Heart In Danger”.

Only recently rediscovered CCR after hearing them played on US streaming stations and viewing some covers on YouTube. Can’t remember the last time I heard them played on Sydney radio. Downloaded some of their songs and those of some of their contemporaries to play in the car on long trips.

WS used to play plenty of Creedence, but they hardly play songs from them (if at all) these days. I think 2CH does play the occasional Creedence songs, albeit the more ‘softer’ ones.
Basically, you won’t hear much pre-80s music on most commercial FM stations in Australia these days, even in the two biggest cities, Sydney & Melbourne.

I Don’t Really Wanna Fight- TINA TURNER
Smooth 95.3 just now. One of her better songs; I haven’t heard this one on commercial radio since 1993!

Yeah that’s a good one of Tina’s and doesn’t get played much at all.
On Smooth Brisbane today I heard Eyes Without A Face/Billy Idol. Not exactly a “great” song and also somewhat surprising on Smooth, but I certainly enjoyed it.

According to Online Radio Box, it was also played on Smooth in Sydney & Melbourne. In the context of Sydney, it’s interesting that one would hear it on Smooth, but yet it hardly gets any airplay on WS. It’s a bit like how you would more likely to hear the occasional 60s track on either Smooth or Triple M rather than on WS/Gold.
