Economy 49,566 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hmmmm radios can technically play non-official singles so this doesn't prove anything. We need an official announcement I thought "I'll never love again" was the single that was going to be sent to radio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

New music tends to get limited spins here cuz these stations tend to target an audience of people that are like 40 and over "HAC" is hot adult contemporary so that's stations that target adults but not necessarily old adults. Maybe people 30-40 years old. New music is still played a lot in these stations but more mature new music from older artists tends to get played here. Artists like Adele, Kelly Clarkson and even Gaga tend to do well in Hot Adult Contemporary There's other formats like Country, rock etc but the 3 I mentioned are the only ones usually with any relevance to Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
