Yesterday in Total Wine: Lauv & Troye Sivan — I’m So Tired
Katy Perry — Never Really Over (which turned up in this thread a couple of weeks ago)
Today in the bar: All American Rejects — Swing, Swing
Panic! At the Disco — The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage (that’s the “Swore to shake it up, if you care to listen” song)
Taking Back Sunday — Cute without the “E” (Cut From the Team) and Makedamnsure (not obscure to a certain segment of attendees)
American Hi-Fi — Flavor of the Weak (obscure? Another personal favorite band and song)

The most bizarre song for me was Liza Minnelli's New York New York (1977). It was the title track from her movie New York New York, and she belts the song out of the park. Grat song and fantastic performance but not one you would expect in a store.
Another was Cher's All I Really Want to Do from 1965. Cher's All I Really Want to Do was a hit for Cher in 1965 but not a song you'd expect to hear in a mall in 2024.
But then again, I have heard Judy Garland's Somewhere Over the Rainbow and that song is from 1939.
I guess it shows a good song has a life of its own and can pop up wherever.

These ones I heard quite recently:
At Walmart:
OMC - How Bizarre 50 Cent - In Da Club (I never thought a RAP SONG would play at WALMART but yet here we are)
At Target:
Vengaboys - We're Going to Ibiza R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People (you don't here THAT one often, considering how many find it an oxymoron for being such an annoying song) A*Teens - Upside Down (Bouncing Off the Ceiling) (I haven't heard this song in almost 20 years since Radio Disney buried it from existence. I mean they didn't even play this or any other A*Teens songs on the 20th anniversary or the 2021 shutdown playlist) Los Del Rio - Macarena (the ORIGINAL version. Not the Bayside Boys remix with the English lyrics) Jesse McCartney - Beautiful Soul (you don't hear this song that often in 2023/2024)
At KFC:
OMC - How Bizarre (yes, again) Boys II Men - End of the Road Smash Mouth - I'm a Believer (from the Shrek soundtrack)
At Taco Bell:
twenty øne piløts - Morph Phoebe Ryan - Dark Side
At Raising Cane's:
Vengaboys - We Like to Party! (The Vengabus) (never heard this one in public before lol) Hampton the Hampster - Hampsterdance Song (ok so I have NEVER heard this song outside of Radio Disney, like, ever. Props to them)
At IHOP:
The Strokes - Last Nite (it was weird hearing this one at an IHOP of all things, especially when it was right before "Karma Chameleon"
At Hot Topic:
Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta Devo - Beautiful World R.E.M. - It's The End of the World... (again... never heard this one in public before, let alone in 2024) Weezer - Tripping Down the Freeway Fall Out Boy - Beat It (ft. John Mayer)
At Five Below: Ava Max - Choose Your Fighter (the least popular song from the Barbie soundtrack) Jessica Darrow - A Little More
At GameStop (GameStop doesn't play music in store but one of the employees is a metalhead so these songs were playing on a speaker behind the checkout desk):
Slayer - Read Between the Lies Metallica - Damage, Inc. Whitechapel - Devolver Skillet - Sick of It

technically it's an urgent care clinic but i'm waiting at one right now and their playlist is shockingly obscure, shockingly eclectic, and shockingly good ! to give you an idea, here's what they've played over the past half hour or so -- keep in mind this was all played back to back
methyl ethel - drink wine (tame impala-esque psychedelia) portishead - roads (minimalist trip hop ballad) m ward - i get along without you very well (minimalist singer songwriter) white stripes - girl you have no faith in medicine (fuzzy garage rock) brandy - full moon (y2k r&b) pj harvey - you said something (vaguely yeehaw singer songwriter / alt rock) les clopes - je fume des clopes dans un blockhaus noir parce que je suis dé... (new wave entirely in french ??) johnny cash - god's gonna cut you down (dark old school country)
whoever is manning the music booth clearly loves their job (and is killing it !)

There's a coffee shop that my girlfriend and I go to occasionally that seems to play P!nk's cover of "A Million Dreams" constantly. I swear we hear it every time we go there lol.
