My local HAC station plays Bruno Mars "Marry You" a lot. Heard it twice in a week, was never a radio/chart hit albeit it has become one of his signature songs.

Angelina โRelease Meโ(1996)
Power 106 in LA played this song when it was current in the spring/summer 1996.

Listening to a local alternative/classic rock station online. They played Red Skies by The Fixx and then Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim. This kind of unusual mix of music isnโt typical for a lot of rock stations so thatโs why I brought it up here. It is typical for this particular station though. Itโs awesome to tune in and hear something unique every time. One time they played Kandi by One EskimO. It did hit number one on AAA when it came out but it doesnโt get brought up much anymore. I do wish they gave airplay to new alternative.
As for pop, my local CHR station is spinning Oh My God by Alec Benjamin somewhat frequently. At this point that song hasnโt charted on any pop charts yet and if it has, itโs still low on them. Touch by Dillon Francis and Welcome to Atlanta by Jermaine Dupri f/ Ludacris have also been getting spins there.

I heard "One Summer" by Daryl Braithwaite on WWIS on Friday, right before American Top 40: The 80s. I had never even heard about that song - the only song by him that I remember was his minor hit in 1991 "Higher Than Hope", which I haven't heard on the radio since its brief chart run.

Hereโs a REALLY obscure one...โOn The Wingโ by Owl City.
Heard it at the end of a new syndicated top 40 show which is on just a small smattering of mostly small-market stations right now.

KYSR in LA plays some obscure Alt tracks. Within the past two days Iโve heard Coldplayโs Donโt Panic and RHCPโs Parallel Universe, the former of which was never a single stateside and the latter of which peaked at #37 on Alt radio in 2001.

Not sure how much I could use Sirius as a source, but on "Debbie Gibson's Playlist" this week she played Steps - Heartbreak in This City

I actually found it just now. It's the Gigi D'Agostino cover instead.

Heard โMe & Uโ by Cassie on a top 40 station. Not too obscure but I canโt even remember the last time that song came on anywhere!

My local top 40 station plays โStereo Loveโ by Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina quite frequently. Iโm surprised they play it as much as they do. Iโve also heard โClassicโ by MKTO a couple times on that station.

I remember when I waa in Jamaica 4 yrs ago, I was listening to this radio station called "Mello FM". They were playing all these slow jams that I hardly ever hear on the radio stations in the U.S.

Someone at WWIS must like Daryl Braithwaite, as they're playing an obscure song from him as I type this, called "You Could Be Wrong".
