Which prince songs do they play a lot in your area? Iam typing this as iam listening to the radio they are playing 1000 x's and 0's, which got me thinking I wonder if different places play different prince hits, here where iam at Chicago they play little red corvette , diamonds and pearls, adore,gett off, scandalous , call my name, I will die for you , lets go crazy, just name a few, strangely I don't hear purple rain a lot, maybe I just be missing it, what do they play a lot in your area? | |

Here in Nashville I have been hearing When Doves Cry, Purple Rain, 1999, Little Red Corvette, Let's Go Crazy, Most Beautiful Girl In The World, Cream, and Get Off.
Also one of the local walmarts has albums 1999, Around The World In A Day and Prince:Ultimate on the sales racks | |

I haven't really listened to the radio in years, but when I was younger I remember hearing When Doves Cry and Erotic City on the radio constantly. I went out a couple weeks ago and 2 different DJ's played Kiss that night. When I was out last week, my friends went up to the DJ and demanded that he play Prince for me I figured he'd end up playing the same; Kiss or Erotic City or something. To my surprise he ended up playing Hot Thing and of all things, Darling Nikki I was floored. I was the only one in the place who knew them and was singing/dancing along but I didn't even care. From now on, 4 U I shall be wild 💜 | |

In the Netherlands you wont' hear Prince on the regular radiostations
Only a few songs on radiostations that play 80' and 90'hits on the internet, When Doves Cry, Purple Rain, 1999, Money Don't Matter 2 Night, Kiss, Let's Go Crazy, Cream, The Most Beautiful Girl In The World, thats it....
Most people know his name, but not his songs...SO SAD!
The day after died, there was a 23 year old well known Dutch singer songwriter on youtube (he also play's all instruments) He did a tribute in Belgium, that tribute gave me hope that young musicians are inspired and influenced by his purpleness! That made me go
His Tribute:
How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLQBpn4VM-w
I Wanne Be Your Lover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRz5NjOD1Nk
Little Red Corvette https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmcAccs7KuQ
Forever in My Life.... | |

I almost fell off my chair this past weekend when my local radio in Northern Alabama played Soft and Wet
Otherwise we hear the usual suspects Corvette, Doves, 1999, Diamonds
I do not listen to a lot of radio here so more maybe played. | |

I think I am the number one Prince in my town of rednecks too. But I am a Yankee so that explains everything. | |

I don't listen to music radio at all, unless I'm in trapped in a taxi or something. Haven't for years, decades even. Talk, news or sports radio only for me since about 1990! | |

Our local "old school" station (they SUCK) played nothing but Prince the weekend that he passed, and also for 24 hours on his birthday...I swear, the only CDs they have are Prince and Purple Rain. HORRIBLE. I called them and said, "Why dont you let me DJ for a while", but they declined. They usually play 1999, Raspberry Beret, Kiss and When Doves Cry. That's pretty much it. Make it so, Number One... | |

Here in the Twin Cities it's pretty much anything from 1999 or Purple Rain + Raspberry Beret. Good thing we have The Current though as they'll play anything not just the hits from 83/84. Paisley Park is in your heart

I almost had a heart attack when I heard Take Me With U on the radio t' other day. I've only ever heard When Doves Cry played in my country in the last 20-odd years! | |

You forgot 1000 X's & O's Christophe Lambrechts is playing that almost daily on Studio Brussels But this week it's a different song every day. Today it was The most beautiful Girl In The World ~I've seen the future and it will be. I've seen the future and it works.~ | |

Last night I was at walmart and was looking through the racks to find all the Prince CDs, one of the workers caught me arranging the CDs on the top shelf where the NEW RELEASED CDs are stored. They looked at me side-eyed but didn't say nothing. I go on shopping in the grocery part and all of a sudden I hear "My Name Is Prince blasting over the PA system!" Made my shopping night for sure! | |

Over here (Netherlands) I hear songs like Cream, Money Don't Matter, The Most Beuatiful Girl, SOTT, Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, I Would Die 4 U, Diamonds & Pearls. And from here I have to say: not much more than that.
On the radio I don't hear anything else than those songs everyone knows and are -let's say- 'digestable' for the largere audience.
I don't expect any new tracks or tracks that weren't issued on single. So the only stuff they play is from half way the 80s until the beginning of the 90s. 'Liberate My Mind' | |

However I can't find data from several countries. | |
