The ‘YAY I JUST HEARD MICHAEL ON THE RADIO’ Thread

Off-topic but hearing SOTT on the radio was awesome! Some (many) songs are just built for radio, imo.


I missed the beginning of the show and had to get these two on catch - up ...


... dang it! I'll have to revisit the catch-up! :D

Hearing Is It Scary on the radio was beyond my wildest dreams. I was beside myself.
What the **** is ‘SOTT’?
 
radio edit of my absolute favourite, ‘wanna be startin somethin’ is playing right now on ‘greatest hits radio’💜I’m so hype 🤩haven’t heard it on the radio for ages. I was actually waiting for ‘thriller’ and ‘somebody’s watching me’, which will be played 2morrow💜

I heard Beat It on the radio. The radio in my dream. No, I am not kidding, in my dream Beat It was playing on the radio. This is the second time this happened to me. First time Thriller was playing on the dream radio.
 
thriller’ is now playing on bbc radio 2 💜 it’s been the album version in both cases
oh, which show was it, can you remember? Last year Zoe Ball played the album version on her breakfast show which was exciting. I see you posted your comment just after 8am. So was it Zoe's show, again?
 
Is it just me or does the radio in the UK or anywhere else but America actually play Michael's music?? The 80's radio here in CA only plays Beat It and Billie Jean. Though, one very, extremely rare moment PYT played and I heard it. But really, only Beat It is played, not even Billie Jean is heard that much as Beat It. This is not fair.

Depends on the station. The bigger stations most likely concentrate on modern music and have a handful off classics in their playlists. If you want more Michael I'd look for smaller radio stations or those that focus on old school music etc.
 
This is for example is a popular station in Belgium focussing on modern music but MJ is on their playlists about twice a day sometimes less. This is what they played the last 30 days. If you check this an entire year, you will notice that it are always those same songs that get played

This is the rival station that also concentrates on a younger audience with modern music taste. Man in the mirror seems considerably. more popular on this station, even more so than the thriller songs

Then I will show you 2 stations that are more "elitist" and they play MJ only minimally and only concentrate on the singles from thriller and off the wall. These are the kind of stations that play media and critic darlings like Prince, David Bowie and The Beatles. Michael doesn't belong to that group according to their taste

don’t stop til you get enough’ was played on ‘greatest hits radio’ about 10 minutes ago 💜I didn’t hear it, but I checked their playlist schedule.
