myspenser - I just tweeted your last sentence to Jeff Hurley, the PD at B104. Haha J/k
Sometimes it really does seem that way.
Will be away from Internet most of weekend but I am eager to see the Monday morning mediabase update. And also to see if BTIKM moved up from #27 on B104's playlist. CHR

Just saw this convo on twitter. Guy is DJ on Albuquerque NM station. Read bottom up. Carlos Duran @badboycarlosd
@ravengirl57 eeek! And bad news its trending down in spins this week which is death of a song if it hasn't even got into the top 40. Its #61
In reply to Joline GKG
2h Carlos Duran Carlos Duran @badboycarlosd
@ravengirl57 I just looked up Adam 29 of a possible 154 stations are playing it and more than 3/4ths of the spins are in overnight FYImyspenser - Did you see this? What do you make of it? If anything. Wait. What does this mean? I am confused. Are they talking about that the song is dropping or something?? I cant figure all this radio stuff out. Sometimes I get it and other times no clue lol Wonder why these stations r only playing overnight? Seems kinda pointless...if that is the case then why even spin at all? This is from a DJ on a Top 40 station. He is saying that BTIKM isn't going anywhere fast on Pop radio and that most of the spins on Pop stations are overnight. (which is all true) This twitter conversation had nothing to do with HAC radio play, which is going to be BTIKM lives or dies. |

I mean at least give it a chance during the day or just don't play because playing it when listenership is very low just makes no sense to me. IDK lol. Also sux to bc a lot of people seem to really like the song ONCE THEY HEAR IT. Problem is that not enough people are hearing it. I will never get what they are doing with this song but hope it continues to go up up on HAC and maybe crosses over. I mean that damn Gavin DeGraw song is EVEYRWHERE now and he too a while. So I have hope. But if they DO switch to a new single here I hope they have some kind of better plan in place to get some immediate spins. He may always have to have long ass climbs (I hope not tho!) but it would be nice for them to work it so one of his singles can hit fast and hard. |

It looks like it to me, but I'm no expert! BTIKM needs to continue to get spins from new stations and some of the new adders need to continue or pick up their spins. I'm hoping it will move up to the top 20. Past that, I hope they go ahead and put out a new single that Pop radio will support more. If this could happen at least a month before the album release, it would be great- but we are talking about RCA. :  |

BTIKM is moving on HAC, but this format is SO slow. I think maybe they should just try to get it top 20 and then move on. Songs take MONTHS to gain on this chart, and I don't know that Trespassing has that much time to give this song.
I really hope that the huge number of radio visits ( tons of work and travel) represent Adam and the label paying ahead for a good start on radio for single #2.

Something that is on the radar? ??? I would say the word "that" is not supposed to be there (brain fart) and he means there is a new single coming out. It would not suprise me at all if that is why Z100 is not adding BTIKM. If there is a new upbeat single, I'll bet Z is one of the first to jump on the bandwagon! I wish it would be Cuckoo, but I have a 99.9% feeling that it will be the Bruno song. |

Tigerlily, I think it means that they are watching the song. If it can get in the low 20's on the HAC chart, I think there will be certain stations that will finally add. Or, it could be something like what mys*&@^#r said |

Something that is on the radar? ??? I think they like speaking in riddles sometimes. : I think - hope - that single #2 will have no problem going right up the charts. And I don't care which song it is as long as radio loves it. If that means the Bruno song, then great! Just want the best chance for Adam's radio play. And he is certainly working his cute little buns off laying the groundwork. 8-) |
