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 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 agree. The hands of the DJ's hands are basically tied. Radio stations have so many songs from hitmakers coming in, artists they have to play due to deals being made, and then a certain amount of recurrents that they have to work in. All of the playlists come from the top and there is only so much room for so many songs. They have debuts coming out that are on the top of the iTunes charts and from artists that are opening up with big album numbers. That says demand to the people who make the decisions at the top and those are the songs that are getting added to radio stations and making their way up the charts. As you say, they're not going to play the song as things stand, so it's up to the fans to make what difference they can by requesting. One thing we could do is to start some kind of a requesting campaign after pll, as it wouldn't look as suspicious then. Also, we'll know by then if any other promotion is planned for the song :  We have nothing to lose; being shy with stations is pointless. |

It can't be from a bunch of twitter accounts that have Adam's face on the avi and a million tweets about Adam's hair, nose and GB though. LOL DJs aren't stupid, they know that it is coming from an Adam STAN!  Seriously, this is an idea that could be worked on and carried out with some ninja undercover skills! A well executed campaign could at least give TSP a jumpstart on some stations! |

A well executed campaign could at least give TSP a jumpstart on some stations! "Organic" is key. That is what they are looking for. And, for Adam, this is a huge obstacle because nothing is going to happen organically if the song isn't being heard. But, PLL is an opportunity. And suits will certainly be watching to see what kind of response Adam gets. IMO, this presents, perhaps, the best chance to make some waves and create some much needed buzz. Really, RCA should be building on this pretty cool promo spot. It would be so nice if they had a plan. Maybe they do. |

I'll get my 11-year-old daughter on it (she owes me things--like life She has here own email account. I'd be a little anxious putting her on tweeter but can use a typically tweener name like Chrystal and some avi like her fav 1D member. We are actually watching PLL; it's a tad old but we discuss the questionable parts. |

I have access to teens, a couple of sock accounts, but couldn't plan my way out of a paper bag. It'd be great if more than one Adam community acted around that time. |
