Folks, Since we are all trying to request at the local radio stations - I want to share this e-mail exchange my friend had with his local station in Atlanta. May be our local Atlanta contingent can help as well. ( i took the names and addresses out) Read bottom up:
From: PD> Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2012 To: XX Subject: Re: Tracks from Adam Lambert's new album?
Thanks for the feedback on that, XX. In out next music meeting we'll play these songs for the group. We've alrwady been reviewing and considering Never Close Our Eyes. I appreciate you taking the time to give me some feedback, always helps us.
Have a great day, XX. My best, PD Star 94

Thanks XX, we watched Adam's first single from this new project but only played it a few times before it fell from the charts. We're reviewing some of the other tracks on that CD now. What's your favorite? Thx, Program Director Star 94

How about playing some tracks from Adam Lambert’s new album - e.g. Shady??
I wonder if writing to the PDs, may be once every couple of weeks, would be helpful... - any thoughts? Would that be considered too much? I find it interesting that this station responded right away and asked for more input...
Why in the world would a fan email a radio station and request something other than NCOE? Did this person not know what the current single was? If not, that's understandable. If so, why are they requesting songs that aren't the single?
I'm completely confused by this! Maybe I'm missing something here or I didn't understand who was asking what in this email correspondence?
The radio station will only consider playing THE single (NCOE) but they often play a few tracks from a new album when considering if they should play THE single. It sort of makes sense -- these are music pros who are supposed to know about the artist and about new music.
The e-mail exchange may have been to keep a listener happy with polite chatter and responsive, interactive messages. Just a guess but it is a common customer engagement practice.

I'm not wondering about the radio station knowing what the current single is. I'm wondering why a fan would request a song that wasn't the single, unless they didn't know what it was. Maybe this fan isn't on any fanboard and doesn't know that BTIKM was the first single and NCOE is the current single? I could see that happening.

Makes sense to me that an Adam fan who is not a regular Top 40 listener and who doesn't spend time on fansites might not realize that a Top 40 station only plays singles.
A "single" is actually an odd concept since we really do not have physical singles in the US anymore. And every track on an album can be purchased as a single.
And radio stations have been playing album tracks on the radio regularly since the late 60's.
Wow Adam confirms an international contract, as opposed to a domestic contract !!!

District V interview and vid clips
This is the interview posted above ^^ It's a cute one and definitely new
Oh man, I FLOVE this interview. It is *so* well put together with the video clips, and the interviewer at the end asking Adam to "please tell everyone I'm not that short" is adorbs. :D :D :D
I think this might be new? ETA: Definitely new and soooo cute!!
HSM, it did embed. I posted it way back on page 22, but I guess some people don't read the thread before they post! ;D

blueberry: A tech question. When I post, I'm stuck in BB Code, can't get back to Preview. Any ideas? I have Preview as default in my profile, but that doesn't help.

Q3: blueberry. there should be a two labels on tabs at the bottom of the REPLY box -- one labeled Preview and one labeled BBCode. Can you see these or are they gone?
May 19, 2013 2:08:40 GMT -5
blueberry: Q3, I can still see the labels, but when I click on the Preview label, nothing happens. And every time I start a new post, it automatically takes me to BB Code. Otherwise it doesn't matter, but posting pictures would be easier in Preview (copy+paste).
