Just walked into a Walmart and it’s playing in here. Pretty surprising, but sounds good in the background like that.

I heard Any Way You Want It on the radio today. All though that's not an unusual thing, of course, in the case of AWYWI.

Herbie mentioned getting alot of the early Perry songs airplays in stores/malls to help enhance the perception that the band was more popular than it was.
Unsure if that was Castles Burning or the Andrew email. It's interesting what you hear sometimes. I heard a random Meat Loaf Bat 3 track one time.

One of the pop stations on SiriusXM played it a lot when it was first released but I haven't heard it much since then.

A long time ago someone in radio told me that Journey is considered a "summer" band so radio tends to play more Journey songs when the weather starts warming up for summer. Not sure why, but it's true. If you pay attention, you'll hear a bit more Journey during the summer than during the winter.

ROR truly exemplifies the "summer"
