I heard it was DC101. I can't imagine why they would play it tho, and don't know how to verify if they did or not. DC101 ??!!??!!??!!  No way. I listen to this station. They aren't alt rock. They're hard rock. Adam's never getting played here. Metallica yes. Adam no. I know - I never tune into it because I would never expect to hear Adam there. But wikipedia, and Google search, does call them "alternative" : WWDC is a commercial radio station in Washington, D.C., broadcasting to the Washington, DC-Baltimore, Maryland area. WWDC airs an alternative rock format on 101.1 FM branded as DC101. But them playing BTIKM may have been a false report, who knows. |

BTW - What was the alt rock station that played BTIKM in DC? I didn't write them down and the counters must have reset now so maybe it was the week before but looking at the stations not added list today the only Richmond Alt rock station I see is WRXL and the DC one is WWDC. I had seen 1 spin for each of those stations when I checked the not added list. ETA: You know all the angsting about big market stations not adding is exactly the same kind of talk that went on with IIHY. Almost all of the early stage adds for IIHY were smaller market stations and stations he was visiting on tour. I don't think any of the big market stations added until after the MV release and I seem to remember RCAEd more or less confirming that they had things lined up but were waiting on the MV because Adam has such strong response on his videos. I for one am not willing to write this off until at least a week or two after the video drops. The video drops this Friday and then when he gets back from the European promo they probably have stuff lined up here. I would not be at all surprised if the bigger stations are being held back until the US promo gears up. If I had a nickel for every time WWFM and IIHY were declared dead as doornails by people online I would have a nice little tour fund. All the wailing and gnashing of teeth is not going to change any of RCA's plans so why waste the energy. Adam has been absolutely thrilled with his label to this point and I don't see anything but sheer excitement coming from him in interviews so I'm willing to trust that RCA has things under control. Time enough to analyze and criticized the rollout AFTER the song is done. I mean really and truly done not predictions. So DC101 did spin it! I'm adding it to my presets, & I guess I'll request they play it again! Acc to Wikipedia they switched to alt rock in 2005: Originally a mainstream rock station, WWDC changed to their current alternative rock format by 2005 because of WHFS-FM flipping to tropical music as WLZL,.ETA: Adele's not even on their Mediabase form tho, so that BTIKM spin must've been a fluke. |

RCAPromo RCA Records Promo "Better Than I Know Myself" by @adamlambert impacting Top 40 Radio this week! 2 minutes ago ??? Never seen them do this before. They announce when a single or album drops, or when a new video comes out, or other milestones, I have NEVER seen them tweet when a song was "impacting radio" before. The "WTF, RCA?" plot thickens! |

Um, finkfan... Seriously, do NOT request Adam from DC101. They will laugh their asses off at you. Unless Adam starts covering Enter Sandman on a continual basis or he decides to release a Citizen Vein album (when hell freezes over), DC101 will not play Adam. They may be officially listed now as alt rock, but they only play mainstream rock. It is completely and utterly the wrong format. ETA: DC stations with the possiblity of playing Adam are 99.5 and 107.3 (monitored). He'll also probably get played on 94.7, so feel free to request from them, but just know that that station is unmonitored apparently monitored too! (edited). ETA2: *IF* DC101 actually played Adam, it was probably as a joke. |

Maybe that RCA tweet is their way of reminding/encouraging fans to start requesting at CHR? Maybe the label is meeting with some resistence on pop radio.

Imm admit I am a teensy bit worried. I don't think it will stop until at least ONE big station starts spins or at least adds...maybe when/if he starts promo next week I will feel better.
I think I am anxious because it feels like NOTHING is going on here to gain exposure for the song besides two tv perf. I hope I am premature...I would LOVE to be wrong. Hope I am.
And there, there's my supreme angst for the day. I am allowed to have some chinks in my armor lol
Back to not understanding anything./.....lol
