Also working for me! Not sure what's going on, but certainly not going to complain.
Edit: Have noticed that it freezes after selecting a station, and takes ~80% of CPU resources as per activity monitor. The music keeps playing fine though.
Got a tip for us?

More info that may lead to possible solutions.
The last few days Sirius has been "un-encrypting" the various feeds. Radium has been working in all aspects during this time. Sirius stopped the "free" service today (not sure exact time) and Radium has also stopped working.
Based on that single data point - I am guessing that previously Radium had some method that after you enabled (logged in) your Sirius account it would "decode" something and provide the service.
So - when Sirius is "free" - that decoding by Radium is no longer required and I am not sure if the enabling (logging in) is required either ... and Radium works.
Caution - supposition based on a single data point. Will try again whenever Sirius is "free" again.

Thanks for the end to the mystery. Radium freezes with Mojave & High Sierra. Sierra & below is fine, occasionally Sirius would re-appear. Web site has the download. Likely got kicked out of the App Store, taking money for a version not working, refusal to provide a new version.

I looked at the code from the SiriusXM website out of the browser. Wanted to separately, run it thru the browser, won't play, can't produce to run, if it would run, I could write into a blank text, make it a file, to play in VLC.
It's a XHR request, with long #'s, which is the code for paid service, even though I'm paid, can't get it to run. Appears to keep changing requests.

Awkward update two years later...I updated to 10.14 and got the latest version of radium, and shock, it actually works. I guess SiriusXM got unbroke and now plays it just fine. However, turns out it was a free trial (and the app doesn't tell me this or give me an option to use my license from version 2) and just locked me out since it expired.
Now I have another issue. Should I buy Radium? I'm about to upgrade to 10.15 and everyone says that radium crashes and will not work, so I'll be throwing $10 down the drain since it hasn't been updated in years. Does anyone know of any alternatives or hacks or anything to help me with this choice? Or better, get a SiriusXM app for MacOS. Thank you.

I checked today and the Radium app is still in the MacOS and iOS store.

In the meantime, consider using an app like Fluid, Coherence, Unite or Flotato and turn the SiriusXM.com website into a Mac app yourself.

Correct Fluid installs, with SiriusXM play button won't trigger. Fluid does play other webpages conversions, not SiriusXM.

Unite also has a SiriusXM problem.

Unite also has a SiriusXM problem.
So does the last option Flotato work for anyone? Or any other solution to simulate a Mac SiriusXM app?
No luck with Flotato, same issue with "play" button not working at the bottom like Fluid. Will give StarPlayrX a try
Thanks for testing Flotato, and confirming the behavior runs, won't play SiriusXM, like Fluid.
I can confirm my Licensed Coherence does play SirusXM.
The problems, with the current Coherence X Version 3's when you close Google Chrome, it closes your custom made App. I found Coherence Pro Version 2 only runs on Mojave, The old apps I created with Version 2's on Mojave, stay open and run on Catalina. I contacted the dev, he did not fix last time I checked. I became tired of his constant Coherence updates, where I had to build a new app each time to test.
I installed macOS StarPlayrX 1.1.5 (48), entered my subscription details, have it running without Xcode.

I can confirm the StarPlayrX application from Todd Bruss works with MacOS Big Sur 11.1 with Airplay 2 to HomePods! Awesome! (Created separate thread specific to StarPlayrX so its not buried in the Radium thread from years ago.)
