Been keeping the radio on lately, WILV 100.3 FM Chicago, or LOVE FM which plays "feel good music of the 80's and more" (according to their website). Heard several Prince songs played there the last couple of days-- 1999, Raspberry Beret, and I Would Die 4 U. Also, I was window shopping at Nordstrom yesterday, when all of a sudden Chelsea Rodgers came on their store radio. Got to say, I was pleasantly surprised! Heard any Prince music lately?

Actually, yeah I have. Not heard any on the radio for years, but was halfway through a pub lunch the other day when I realised Beautiful Loved & Blessed was playing

1999 is getting a lot of love from Heart FM in the UK recently.

Shame it is the only P song they seem to own !!!

Heard "I Would Die 4 U" on our local easy listening/adult station yesterday. Saw video for "1999" on VH1's "Totally 80's" two weekends ago, and "Raspberry Beret" on same show last weekend.

at my local petshop they play love like jazz from lotusflower and a song from elixer.on belguim tv they use prince songs alot .last one was adore

I heard Delirious on the radio a few times last week,

Last friday, l want to a club... They played the usual Michael Jackson session, tehn l went nuts when i heard the guitar riff of "Kiss" ... Th DJ played the whole song... it felt so good...
And I think "Kiss" is Princ'es most popular song here in France... Its the one song L hear the most

Most of the time it's either "When Doves Cry"; "1999"; "Kiss";"Adore" or "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore", but even if they don't play his current' material, in NYC, you will hear his classics on the radio, and that's on a daily basis.

None. Obviously, nobody likes him where i live.

LOL @ "radio"

Dance 4 me at a danceclub here in belgium

the owner of my favourite cocktailbar is a princefan as well and plays some 20 numbers a night. Even outtakes

I live in downtown Chicago so I tend hear his stuff all the time. I was in a little Italian deli/coffee shop on Saturday and "When Doves Cry" was playing. About a week ago I was walking the dog and "Raspberry Beret" was coming out of the local bar when I passed. Someone even had "Sexy Dancer" cranked @ the Urban Outfitters in my neighborhood. I had to give them props for that. (My clubbing days are long past me, but I know "Sexy Dancer" still gets spins in Chicago.... we like our disco and house in this town.)

In the summertime I often hear his tunes coming out of cars. I don't tend to hear much of his post 93' output, but every now and again you run in to someone blaring a more recent tune.

I read this thread this morning and then when I walked into the grocery store a few hours later, Diamonds & Pearls was playing

There is also a great radio station where I live that plays Prince twice a day on average... mostly just the hits, but occassionally something deeper... I love it!

I heard "Kiss" when I was getting my license renewed at the MVA a few months ago.

A couple weeks ago I walked in to this sandwich place on campus and heard "P Control" when I realized this couldn't have possibly been the radio. Turns out someone hooked up their iPod, but I was still surprised to hear it.

Black Sweat was on the Current not long ago and Let's go crazy~

My friend went to see Mr. Scruff perform at the KOKO club
in London on Saturday night.
Mid way through, he played A Love Bizarre!

Adore

I went to a club in here in The Rocks, Sydney called The Argyle the other Friday night. It's a kind of expensive, poncey, everyone a model type place, but very nice nonetheless. The DJ played some (presumably) illegal DJ mix of Erotic City and Nasty Girl. He didn't look old enough to have even been an itch in his fathers jock strap when either of those tunes came out

I hear Prince's most popular songs every week on the radio. I hear "Glamorous Life," and "Love Bizzarre." every week too.

Sometimes on the weekends at night I'l hear, "Do Me Baby," "Adore," and "Call My Name."

:cricketschirping:

I heard "Cream" at the grocery store yesterday. A very cool surprise, indeed.

It was later noted that sales of yogurt and Half N Half were up by 40% that weekend.

I listen to sirius/xm. Heard most beautiful girl in the world on my way home from work last week. so happy

rainbowchild said:

Yep, "Kiss," "Erotic City," and "Little Red Corvette." (radio )

oh and the most beautiful girl in the world too...

Radio-wise, the only thing that I've heard lately has been "When Doves Cry".
When my mother was manager at Pier 1, they had "Courtin' Time" on their playlist.
My local mall always plays "Diamonds and Pearls" for some reason; and I stop and dance.

the video to Raspberry Beret was played today on danish VH-1.

I refuses to listen to danish radio P3 no more, too much rap and hiphop

P3 used to play most of the songs from the Very Best of Prince cd:

I Wanna Be Your Lover,
1999,
LRC,
When Doves Cry,
Raspberry Beret,
Kiss,
Sign O' The Times,
Gett Off

even Sexy MF and Gold has been played on danish national radio: P3.

the latest singles:

Musicology the song was on heavy rotation in 2004 - and Black Sweat also in rotation in 2006. I can't remember how much Guitar the song was played.

Lotus was completely invissible, afaik.

I was at a pub in Gothenburg, Sweden a couple of weeks back. I had tanked myself up pretty good... ... and at one point I started to think about Prince, and like one minute after that they started to play Cream. I was thrilled!
