Last week I heard "I Want To Break Free" at the Walmart (a first time for hearing a Queen song there).
A couple of days ago I heard "We Are The Champions" at K-Mart. I have never heard a Queen song while shopping - ever. I hardly ever notice the music playing while I shop. Except for one time when I was at a craft store and I heard a Chris Isaak song which I thought was really cool and it made me go out and buy the album.
Last night I was flipping channels and landed on a DirecTV (satelite) station that was not in use. However, they had music playing and it was "39", which I have never heard played in the USA (except at a Queen concert). The song was not identified in any way.
These were all the official Queen records I heard - no elevator instrumentals.
I also saw footage of Freddie singing on a commercial for a local radio station a couple of days ago. Shock! That was a first also.
Yeah, depends on the store, but a lot of times you can choose your personal favorite music and put it in a store/s cd system, which can be like a six disk (depending on the store), I know if it's a six disk, it'll rotate so it plays a different artist everytime.

I heard... "Somebody to Love" played over the entire-mall music system (as opposed to just one store). I handeled it pretty well, by following the wafting sounds until I was under the speaker, unfortunately, the closest one was by a "Hollister" which was playing something nasty... and I couldn't really hear.
There's been David Bowie, Blur, and Jethro Tull at the bookstore. And Queen.
Queen at the sports store. And not what you'd think. It was '39. Followed by Styx.
Where are you guys at that you're hearing all this Queen music? They never ever play Queen where I live... it's all that rap crap and latino music, cause you can't go anywhere in our town without running into someone that only speaks spanish. they even have commercials in spanish at wal-mart over the loudspeaker.
I live in the wonderful Mitten of Michigan. Somewhere between the thumb and index finger, I think.
We actually have a "Classic Rock" radio station.I don't know if anyone else has a station that's specifically for 60's-70's-80's "Rock"... I feel lucky that we do ever since a long drive over Canada and NY...

If I had heard that, an instant smile would have came over my face :)
