Ive been checking up on the recently played lists on some stations here in Chicago and they haven't been playing it at all. Im kind of surprised since it is way up there in the UK supposedly. Have you heard it on the radio?

nope

I live in the San Francisco area an they have been playing it,which is very exciting.

No. Not until the middle of may.

Not yet. The rock station will probably preview it on their Sunday night new music show...I hope!

I don't really know.. I don't listen to local radios since most of the radios here play some really bad music

I'm in Chicago and haven't heard it yet, either. I would imagine the first station it would be played on would be WXRT, though.

^ Agree!!!

Yes. 92.9 from Perth downloaded it as soon as it got online, then the site crashed!

i don't listen to american radio unless i'm forced to, so i really don't know. however, i seem to recall some other american saying yesterday that it was played...i could be wrong though.

hey mike, i know this diverts away from the thread, but what type of pilot are you? commercial?

Stations in the North-West played it at 12:15 on Tuesday but I chose to listen to Radio 1. One station played Trouble to day which was a nice surprise, as I expected Violet Hill to get the Chasing Cars treatment!

I recently heard it on a heavy metal station.... kinda sad that they think it fits in, lol

KROQ in Los Angeles played it yesterday, I was thrilled (of course, had already heard it). The DJ went on about how much he liked it.

Hmm yeah they are playing the Crows new single all the time, wouldn't doubt it. Maybe WTMX since they play Clocks at least once a day lately

I'm in the proses of getting my Private license. I hope someday to work for a legacy commercial airline.

Since XFM and Radio1 are my local radio stations, that's a definite yes.

In fact I tuned in earlier today, and they played it after 5 minutes of me listening. They also phoned up an american woman called Violet, and told her that Coldplay had written a song about her. Turns out she'd never heard of Coldplay :P It was extremely random.

Yes, I heard it once, out of the few times I've listened to the radio. here in Metro Detroit

 

Also, checking a playlist on another station that plays the adult alternative type of music and some classic rock, they've played it on April 30 at just past 4 PM.

That was funny. I downloaded that over in the multimedia section

Yep Grock106.3 in New Jersey have played it!

Nope I haven't heard it here. well, of course I haven't heard it here, it's Alabama. One of the top poorest states in all of America. Bleh, I miss Florida.

I live in Iowa, Hotplay, I know how it feels

^ horrible.... just horrible. I expect them to play Violet Hill sometime in, oh... August.

I turned on the radio in Australia after the XFM release. And I got the tailend of one of our radio stations playing it. The two DJs afterwards were shit though. The guy was like "it's alright"...and the chick was bagging the crap out of them.

 

So I turned it off.

Like I said in another thread... Australians mainstream music idea has gone down the toilet.

 

..hopefully the public might think differently to her though. We shall see.

dude...i haven't listened to the radio...i've seriously been listening to VH for 2 days straight

Heard the tail end of it on C100 FM in Halifax, N.S., Canada!!
