Just speculating, but I think if money was all it took to get a song on the radio, Adam would have a hit. He made a great album. An album that debuted at #1. RCA absolutely wants this era to be a success, and really, radio is the only missing piece. If RCA could buy Adam a hit, they would do it.

THIS IS REALLY WORTH A READ...IT PROBABLY TELLS US EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT HOW RADIO WORKS a Zandzþ@izla_zandz Pay for play. Worth a read. www.salon.com/2001/03/14/payola_2/Based upon this, Adam is screwed unless RCA starts plunking down money to these indie promoters. Maybe this is the answer to why minimal adds and minimal play. From the number's thread: My understanding is that Salon article came out before new regulations were passed and payola was outlawed. Not saying behind the scenes money doesn't play a role now, but probably not the one described in that article. Here's a very brief timeline: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayolaIn other words, this decade old article has nothing to do with what is going on with NCOE and radio play in 2012. |

I have been. Silent treatment :( I'll try one last time tomorrow. What a kerfuffle... ETA so distraught I even spelt Spongebob wrong :( ;D Ya know there is a thread on AdamOfficial where you can report stuff like this (associated with trying to buy an Adam product) to the mods. They are slow to respond but they do read the thread, and have in the past passed on info to RCA if necessary. www.adamofficial.com/us/node/2050634 |

Is it that bad to want just a "someone's working on it"? ??? Cause it's been almost a week now and I've seen no acknowledgement from anyone higher up. Later on the weekend they even took off the music video when it was doing well on the video chart. This isn't just a glitch, what's going on? |

This is just a fan group. They have no pull, other than to notify Shoshanna also. |

Yes, but they told you that someone was aware of the problem, and it was up to iTunes now to fix the problem. The promo strategy has been organized and impressive in the UK. Shoshanna and Sony UK have been top notch this era. Has anyone stopped to think that maybe there is a reason behind the iTunes glitch? Maybe they are trying to drive the numbers up at places like Amazon first. Maybe they are waiting to release the music to iTunes so they get all the sales at once and that will drive the single and album higher up the chart so it will get visibility on the front page. Due to the fact that the UK team and Shoshanna have been on top of everything this era, that should tell us that there could be some things we don't know about this situation. IF there is some type of problem with iTunes, I'm sure the UK team already knows about it. There really is no reason to keep tweeting Shoshanna about this "over and over", unless the goal is to pester her and piss her off! |

What's wrong with pre-orders while it is fresh on people's minds after seeing a tv show or listening to the radio. That makes sense, instead of peeps going to iTunes and not finding it. That doesn't make sense. |

Well at least Trespassing is back up on there now  Hope NCOE isn't far behind cause it's been a week of promo without it on there now. And it was played on the most-listened to radio station in the UK so I hope all the listeners managed to find it elsewhere, thankfully there's Amazon and Play :D Speaking of Play, Adam and Shoshanna seem aware of NCOE not being on iTunes, so when they tweet pre-order links why don't they put Play instead for the time being? ??? |
