"Minute by Minute" and "You're So Vain" at my usual grocery, though I think those were played on two separate weeks. I don't know if I'll ever find where I wrote down what played when.

I know KMart (whose source I don't know) was playing music so loud I had to leave with just the one product I came in for. They did take a credit card for less than $2. The only clue I have about one of the songs was the word "Ashanti" spoken.

At another grocery the music was also too loud but I was relieved when Cee-Lo's "Forget You" came on. Followed by "You Raise Me Up". I used to hate that one but I just don't like touchy-feely Christian music. As music, though, that one is great.

I don't know what Sears uses but I have "Halfway Gone" by Lifehouse listed as a possibility. At a grocery store I don't usually go to the music was just too loud (it's the same one with Cee-Lo last week), and the only lyrics I remember are "Farewell, Goodbye". These words were repeated so it's not any of the songs I found when I was searching for those lyrics. I guarantee I would never allow my usual grocery store to subject me to anything this loud.

"You're So Vain" was listed along with "Little Lies" when I found my list from my usual grocery store from last week. Also, I heard the lyrics "feel the rain on your skin".

Unwritten, Natasha Bedingfield, 2005. Song was actually co-written with Danielle Brisebois from Archie Bunker's Place. Prior to Unwritten, Natasha spent time with the worship group Hillsong London, co-writing some songs there as well. On the group's 2004 recording, she's the lead singer on Shout Your Fame.
 
"Higher and Higher" by Rita Coolidge last week. I can remember a Billbaord article saying it was surprising that New York City's other soft rock staton played it; it seemed like something only WLTW would play.

Now, I don't imagine WLTW would touch it.

Also played this past Saturday: "Wasted on the Way". There was another one I made a note about somewhere.
 
Found it. "Love will find a way". Those lyrics were in a song with a beat way too loud for any store I would shop in. With black female vocalists.
 
I heard Amy Grant's "Takes a Little Time" on the background music at Shop-Rite tonight. I haven't heard that one on the radio in years!

Also on my own Muzak Encompass V box (eBay find) I heard David Archuleta's "Crush". Despite being a huge AC hit in 2008, it too has completely disappeared from the radio, while such ear-bleedingly awful songs like Nickelback's "Photograph" remain in AC rotation for years on end (even though it didn't do nearly as well as "Crush" on the AC chart when it was a current hit!).
 
I recognized two songs at a grocery store which was not my usual one, but part of the same chain as my usual one. I forget one of the songs now but "Sad Songs" was the other.
 
WLIF 101.9 was a MUZAK station form 1971 to 1991 and they would play Carpenters or something really soft once every hour and you would hear it in the dentist office, The original elevator music but then they went with a more of the 80's version of AC to now they are closer to Hot Ac and the station is owned by CBS which also has a Hot ac station here in Baltimore as well which makes no sense...Unless They switch WWMX 106.5 to top 40, I personally like what AC was in the 80's and early 90's and they stuck to their format but now I dont think their is a such thing as AC, Its all Hot Ac now

I heard it at my usual grocery on Saturday.

Also "She's Always a Woman", "Give a Little Bit", and "Sir Duke".

I made a note that one week I heard "Rosanna".
 
Heard at Boston Market today (where they had the Muzak playing quite loudly!): Jason Mraz - "The Remedy". I haven't heard that one on the radio in years! Hot AC & CHR stations have forgotten about it, and regular AC stations never picked it up (instead playing "I'm Yours" ad nauseum).

The AAA station here in Nashville played that one (and probably STILL does) to the point that I don't ever want to hear it again!
 
This week at my usual grocery, "Be Near Me", "You Are the Woman", and a song with lyrics something like "You make me love you" and "You're my best friend".
 
Last night while shopping at Albertson's -- Erasure's "Chains of Love" from 1988, probably NOT heard on AC stations anymore (well, maybe Jack/Bob outlets).
Also the usual "I Don't Want to Wait" Paula Cole - aired 2,213 times this year it seems on radio...

You likely heard Queen's hit "You're My Best Friend".

That could be it. Kind of aggressive for this format.
 
I've misplaced my last list before this past weekend, but in my grocery store Saturday:

"Standing Still" by Jewel, and a black group whose song reminds me of "The Way of the World" but the lyrics include "It's over" and 'these tears".
