I love Adam's weather report!! It's amazing he did so well having to pronounce all those difficult sounding locations, even if he was reading it..  |

Yes, sales of Trespassing matter to radio and will influence airplay. But fans can't buy enough copies of Trespassing to get it to chart. It would take 100,000+ units in a week to matter. And sometimes that is not enough. Look at what happened with Fun's "We Are Young". PDs rejected it. Then it got featured in a SuperBowl commercial. But fans can buy enough to get Trespassing EP on the BB album chart as a new album. And that can help generate buzz, press and some second looks at the album, these amazing dance tracks and at Trespassing. Aside from requesting and playing all these radio games it is the only thing I can come up with. ETA: Trespassing clearly is not getting a full promo budget. Adam is wise to hold off spending money on it unless it proves itself to be able to generate some royalties. so, EP would get noticed if it charts in the top 100 somewhere? Why do I doubt it? Does anyone really pays attention to a number 99? or 54? or 25? It is quite obvious that THE SINGLE is what really matters. And if we think that there is no way for it to get any significant sales numbers then we are not even in a catch 22 anymore... we are pretty much done then...of course we have that cool car driving around to watch - ain't that fun? ;D I will be doing both - the singles on iTunes and EP on Amazon...I will download any gifts as long they keep coming... but I DO WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE REASONING... and so far all the explanations make no real sense to me...  I'm with you, BB! And the reason I thought we would concentrate on the single has nothing to do with the charts but moving it up on i-Tunes so people will see it. Isn't that what we did in the UK?! And as far as charting the EP, making #1 with the album did nothing for the singles! How would making #50 help? :dunno: |

But you would think that someone at the label would have thought this through and focused on pushing the Trespassing radio edit instead of releasing this EP and expecting the fans to sort it out...grrr. Because, honestly, if I didn't visit here or bother to look into it much, I would just have downloaded the entire EP and been done with it. ETA: I don't think charting the EP will help at all. Only the stans care about it, IMO. BUT, getting the single visibility, even if it's only a remote chance, I'm all in favor of that! |
