But there is a very different type of warning and proximity.
Legion actually invaded on MASS = just talk to the speaker?
Xal is doing some dealings in the back, no actual invasion, and the worst of them is on the other side of the galaxy and only gets awaken due to the dark heart being stolen way later? = ring out to everyone!
That doesn't add up.

No, not "only major character"
We only interact with major characters, but the radiant song is going on everywhere to many peopleLady Jaina Proudmoore says: People are experiencing visions of a "Radiant Song" all across Azeroth. We have reason to believe it's a warning of some kind.

Not true. Magni didn't heard, and for example, Modera was the only of the Council of Six heard:
Archmage Ansirem Runeweaver says: What was it like, Modera? The Radiant Song.
Archmage Modera says: It was warm. Comforting. Like coming home. Yet I couldn't tell you exactly why that was.
Archmage Ansirem Runeweaver says: Fascinating. And you still have no idea why it chose you? None of the other council members have yet to see it.
Archmage Modera says: I have no idea. Let's hope that Jaina's investigations prove fruitful. The sooner we understand this vision, the better.
Not everyone heard.
Exactly. Like I said, the concept progressed.
which would be extremely bad storytelling, and i hope Metzen would not allow that.
Assuming Metzen doesn't screw up: It is more likely the radiant song is not a warning mechanism, but something else.

I'm not saying "everyone" hears it, i say a lot of people. But that doesn't mean all of the council for example. It could be 1 in 10 people, which would be a lot.



I always took "all across Azeroth" meant that it wasn't just cocentrated in Dalaran, or Eastern Kingdom, rather than the quantity of people.
progressed to what? we have no more information about the radiant song than we did in when we first interacted with it. It is still a total engima.

Since we only deal with major characters, we have no real opportunity to see if other people have heared the song

Well yeah, that's obviously part of it, but Blizzard did give us a narrative reason as to why Azeroth is suddenly awake and active.
The Radiant Song started after Amirdrassil manifested onto Azeroth, strengthening the Worldsoul.

And arguably the Radiant Song was around in Legion as well, as Azeroth was directly communicating with Magni.
Just this time around she has the strength to reach out to more people.
