NO ONE, knows the answer to this! Not RCA, Adam or the fans. It is impossible to predict what will or won't "hit" on radio!
RCA is taking all the information from the people who are actually in the position to add and spin Adam's next single, and they are making a million dollar decision. RCA wants Adam and this album era to succeed and they are the ones with the information and they are the ones that have backed this era with their money.
Do fans think that RCA wants to pick a song that fails? They are hoping they pick a WWFM, and not another BTIKM.
Really- what else can they do?
LMAO! That is exactly my point, so people acting "as if" NCOE is some kind of radio guarantee make me say ??? ??? There ARE no radio guarantees. Yes, and TOTALLY GET how much RCA has invested in this and I also don't think they will give up on one roll of the dice either. If Adam has to go out and tour his ass off, he will. Adam has a lot of end-arounds for radio once the album drops that he didn't have with BTIKM – he'll have TV, personal appearances (larger than individual stations) and Queen, of course. He's also already laid down a lot of radio foundation.
Who is doing this? I haven't seen this on this board. Some posters prefer NCOE or think that it has the best chance out of the four on radio, but I haven't seen anyone saying that it is a guaranteed smash. Personally, I don't think any of the four songs are a sure fire smash hit. Any one of them is going to take good timing, luck and a whole lot of work!
He has sensational management, is an incredible live performer and does have a solid (and building) international following. He will get live TV gigs even with moderate album success. He doesn't have to live and die based on this one single. Would it be awesome if it smashed? OF COURSE!!! And songs from major artists and major labels flame out all the time. Just because they've surveyed PDs (isn't that what radio promotions does all day, every day?), it doesn't guarantee anything. Once they start spinning, I will be happy as a clam and all about NCOE.
True! So, why are fans so freaked out about what the next single is going to be? If it's not the be all of everything, why are fans hanging Adam's entire "branding" on this one song? ???
IMO, it's time to just let it go. We have no idea which song is chosen and how it will do on radio!
Why don't we at least wait for the single to be chosen, before we jump to the conclusions that the single will not represent him in any way, won't help sell albums, and will hurt his branding as an artist?
