My Spotify stats.fm would suggest I am a liar, sitting in the rock genre. :rofl::rofl:

Roxette at #24? Please don’t go anywhere near music testing, Triple M and Gold/WS plays enough of them as it is…

With music, you have to Listen To Your Heart. I think commercial radio would like The Look of that top artists log.

I’m finding it Dangerous personally.

Steady on!

(Hold on tight…)

Speaking of Roxette it’s kind of sad that some underrated songs such as “Vulnerable,” “Almost Unreal” (from Super Mario Bros 1993), “Run to You” and “Wish I Could Fly” from “Crash! Boom! Bang!” And “Have a Nice Day” are seriously underplayed compared to their songs from “Look Sharp!” And “Joyride” since both of their albums get flogged from end to end.

Oh yes! I’m embarrassed to say I’d forgotten about that one (now adding to my Spotify). I dunno why I forgot about it, guess I was sleeping in my car.

This one is a classic on the Billy Bob Broadcasting Network (my show, Inphase on SWR, Powerzone dot me).

If underplayed Roxette (and Per Gessle) is your thing, Powerzone dot me is your show.

He might feel Vulnerable after reading that. Or feeling Dressed For Success. I’m thinking the latter.

Personally I’m more concerned about Celine Dion at #19 than Roxette at #24. But each to their own.

Over on Nova 93.7FM Perth, they played that Taylor Swift song, ‘Cruel Summer’. This song has been flogged so many times on radio, especially at this year’s Eras Tour concerts across Australia, Singapore, Europe and North America.

Crash Boom Bang and Fading Like A Flower are great songs

Fairytale of New York on Gold 104.3 this arvo. A bunch of slurred, Anglo-Irish nonsense.

Just spent the last three hours listening to last night’s show. First time listener. Not just a great selection of songs but the order they were played in plus having a DJ putting context and the history around songs and artists was spot on.

I have Magic 1278 on in my office every day and (whoah oh) they’re half way there with some of the songs and back announcements but I wish they would be more risky with their playlist and pull out some more of the ‘big 12 inches’.

Never been a fan either. Another critically acclaimed song that doesn’t do anything for me is ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ by Joy Division. I much prefer the New Order stuff.

I’m sure plenty will take umbrage to this, not least @tamago_otoko . But if you simply swallow received wisdom, you’re committing a logical fallacy!

I really wish 4BH would stop flogging this song:
“(Come up and See Me)Make Me Smile “ by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. It’s still an okay song but I’ve just heard it too much lately :-1:

Totally agree. It’s a song that really drones on!

I’ve been listening to Smooth Extra today and they played Over my shoulder - Paul Carrick, that would sound good on 4BH.
