What are DJs looking for exactly? Hundreds of requests? Because that's not realistic. The song is not being spun. It doesn't have a high enough AI to be generating tons of requests. Frankly, I think they the request argument from radio is just a convenient excuse because no song in Trespassing's current position is going to be generating a large number of requests. If this is radio's argument for not playing the song, then I'll start requesting nationwide, lol. I just hate this, because number of requests is not the standard tool radio uses when determining if they are going to play brand new songs not on the audience's radar .I'm not wise in radio..please explain more about standard tools used because I feel at times like I'm only being played for hits by radio stations who end up NOT playing Adam after whacking my poor keyboard silly. ETA: And I'm willing to do what it takes to get TP spinning. I'm not, however, going to play meaningless games with radio for their jollies. How to know? I'm no expert! But, the song is simply not being played enough to be generating large number of requests. And DJs know this. They know that requests coming in from a song with such a low AI are coming from the fanbase. The audience can't request a song they haven't heard, so requests generally are not how a station decides whether they are going to add or begin spinning a brand new song. Their motivation comes from other places---label push, iTunes placement, major promo of some kind (Glee, movie soundtrack, commercial), or artist history. An exception would be if a station has "tested" the song, meaning sometimes they will spin a song a significant number of times over the course of a day or weekend, and then see what feedback they get. To be honest, I also don't believe that the Atlanta station only had 6 requests. This is a motivated fanbase. I think they were lying. But, heck, I'll start requesting from Chicago if they are counting requests for the song! |

If this is radio's argument for not playing the song, then I'll start requesting nationwide, lol. I just hate this, because number of requests is not the standard tool radio uses when determining if they are going to play brand new songs not on the audience's radar I am unaware of anyone posting that Trespassing was not getting played because of too few requests. BUT I did report that in talking to two PDs they said they were not getting many requests from unique fans. >> If a missed a post from a DJ or PD saying that they were not playing Trespassing because they were not getting requests, sorry. >> The only thing a fan can do is request. So you can chose to not request or your can request thoughtfully. The worst possible thing would be to request from every station across the country like Clay Aiken fans did. That will hurt Adam. At this stage in Trespassing's life, it needs to get added to playlists. DJs do not pick songs for the playlist, PDs and MDs do. And almost every US HAC and Top 40 station is fully programmed. The DJ doesn't even pick songs for most of the airtime. The major exception is in the evenings for stations that have request shows and these seem somewhat pre-programmed to me. |
