Dominic 11,922 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That's just a load of BS and you know it. Besides this is not only a question of LFL, but about many other artists' work. This so damn much! I don't think it's BS. Why would they play a track that has little to no demand? It is not about age at all, plenty of artists, of all ages, music does not get played because there is hardly a demand. It is a business. Supply and demand. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am sure there are plenty of songs by other artists that just go straight into their playlists without any of this teeny-bopper click sh*t... or tracks that they make decisions not to play as well, being not based on any "research" It is laregely based upon politics.

The problem is they were told in 2009-10 that they were supposed have a younger average age audience, and they responded by being stricter in keeping older artists off their playlists.

elijahfan 23,564 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 So... they're saying they didn't ban her because of her age but because they find her irrelevant? Great, sounds so much better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 32,745 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 But it's free promo for Madge though Didn't think like that, you're right actually :reductive: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernier 3,786 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That's nice and all, but it's been happening for like 5 years, so everyone suddenly just being aware of this now when it happens to Madonna is just Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It has nothing to do with her age. They would play the song if it was clicking with their audience or was in high demand, but it obviously isn't. This, basically. If they were seeing a huge demand, with sales, streaming and other measurable factors...they would be much more likely to play the song. Perhaps she has a better radio song she can send out next.

blacklistedd 599 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well it made them sound incredibly ignorant and petty to have worded their position that way. Its one thing to say they're not playing her because her new music isn't prevalent but they made her age the forefront of the conversation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychedelic 1,098 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm sure Madonna doesn't care not having her song played on the radio or hitting #1 spots, she's getting what she's always been about... BUZZ!!! :madge: Go Madge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
