Need to intersperse it with the Mandy Moore cover of it 
Is that what NINās Closer about? Never heard it.
Just after 9:50pm on Smallzyās Surgery tonight: āWingsā by Little Mix. Quite surprising given that these days, if radio stations play their music it would mostly be either āBlack Magicā or āShout Out to My Exā (another LM song Nova has played quite frequently, recently).
Similarly, the only song by The Script they tend to play these days is āBreakevenā, though Hope 103.2 alternates between āHall of Fameā and āSuperheroesā.

Just after 11:30am on C91.3 FM this morning: āI Donāt Do Surprisesā by Axle Whitehead. Released just after he was sacked by Network Ten for improper conduct at the 2006 ARIA Awards and shortly before he joined Seven where he starred on Home and Away and hosted The Worldās Strictest Parents.

Seems like he just did another one 17 years on!

Forgot to note, the song was released in March 2008, more than twelve months after he left Ten in the circumstances mentioned above.
Ironically, the song was used on promos for Ten shows āHouseā and āWomenās Murder Clubā in 2008.

He was also in a few episodes of neighbours as a bad guy Tyler was in the storyline 5-6 years ago
I initially thought that song was by Coldplay when it was released. A dead ringer for Chris Martin (not the cricketer or DXer).
The song was described as a cross between Coldplay and Robbie Williams.
Going to get a little obscure, only coz I just found the clip on YouTube.
Growing up in Launceston, 7LA (now LAFM) around 1990/91 used to play a song called Only You by Bang The Drum, think they were either from Tas or had a connection, had a bit of a 1927 feel to it.
They did play another local artist called Stephanie Howell, but couldnāt tell you what song.
Canāt imagine a regional picking up and playing local like that now - although not based there anymore.

Considering ARNās regional music logs for Tas are programmed states away, sadly not.
Shameful that ARN/Cameronsā before, SCA and ACE have all gone down this bad road.

They also had a great song called āPassionā.
On the regional version of Triple Mās Greatest Aussie Songs on their 12 Countdowns of Christmas, I (infamously) heard āNot Pretty Enoughā by Kasey Chambers. Despite being inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2018, Chambersā discography is kind of barely played on mainstream radio these days.

sheās always been more of a country music singer, that was really her only mainstream hitā¦
I still like that song and think it deserves to be played more often.
This song re-entered my conscience the other day (somehow).
It was only ever a minor hit here - but the lead singer (Lisa Schuow) is better known for also fronting Girl Overboard, who had several great songs, also minor hits in the late 80s/early 90s with āI Canāt Believeā, āThe Love We Makeā and āPermanent Friendā.
All of which have been sadly lost to radio. Lisa is also sadly no longer with us, having lost a battle with cancer in 2020 at the age of 62. She had one of the more distinctive vocals in Australian music.

Wow, those Girl Overboard songs were great werenāt they! Iād completely forgotten them.
She had an amazing voice.
Must admit I can only very vaguely remember Wrap Your Arms Around Me, but the other 3 definitely.

āThe Love We Makeā was a regular on Geelongās K-Rock when it first transmitted on FM in the summer of 1990.
