WE have no terrestrial radio stations in the the Twin Cities that play adult contemporary anymore, been 15 + years. Remember when they did play When your in love by PErry in 1988 a number of times.
For some reason we do have about 1/2 dozen bro country stations. I guess Perry needs to pull a Hootie, JBJ, or Tyler and go bro.
I have never heard When You're In Love on the radio. The stations where I live, they usually played the very, very top singles from albums - and that's still pretty much true today. You'll hear Oh Sherrie and Foolish Heart, but I don't ever remember hearing Strung Out on the radio or any other cuts from Street Talk. Same with FTLOSM. I heard You Better Wait quite a bit, but never heard Missing You or anything else on the radio from that album. Never heard anything from the Against The Wall sessions.
When Journey's Trial By Fire came out, I did hear When You Love A Woman a few times, and heard If He Should Break Your Heart on a "make it or break it" things our local radio station used to do in the evenings. A bunch of people with poor hearing called in and said, "Break it" so they never played it again. I was so disappointed, it was a very good song from that album.
I heard it the day it was released on a locally owned terrestrial radio station here in Michigan. The DJ sounded pretty excited about hearing Steve Perry and genuinely sounded like a fan. After that, never heard it again. I hear other radio stations bring up how he has a new album coming out in October, but they never play the full single. Its really sad.
The only singles I ever hear from SP are "Foolish Heart" and "Oh Sherrie". Never hear "You Better Wait" or "Strung Out". Radio is simply dead.
Has anyone heard "No More Cryin'"?
Same here. If radio stations went back to actually having disc jockeys who played each individual single (not a hard drive with pre-loaded playlists), you'd come closer to getting that stuff played on the radio. Radio doesn't work that way anymore, unfortunately, unless it's a "mom and pop" type of station.
