  Yeah, I heard it constantly when I was a kid, but it's significantly less common now. I had no idea who Gary glitter was until this post and definitely didn't know the singer of that song was a pedo. Then again, I probably should have assumed since it seems like every big musician or band  from that time period had at least 1 member who is a pedo.
context: Confused Americans might actually know his music more than younger brits who just know his name since his song is apparently played at a lot of sporting events >
  
  I don’t think I’ve ever been to an American sporting event that did not play this song at least once. >
  
  It’s less common than it was 15-20 years ago. A lot of schools realized that the song was from a pedo, and stopped playing it. I watch NHL hockey on the regular and haven’t heard it in forever . But yeah that shit used to be everywhere
