It's not because you're into it or that I'm not into it that it means its radio friendly/not radio friendly. Someone could say they dislike Close To Me but it doesn't change the fact that it's a radio friendly song. So where do we come up with these radio standards then? I feel like when a song doesn’t get played, this fanbase picks some random element to the song, labels it as “this is why”, and drops it into a “not radio friendly” bucket. Unless there’s actually a set standard by radio stations, I’d say it’s all conjecture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Campana 15,284 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Radio in the US is about ‘deals deals deals’ which means ‘money’. This DJ holds a lot of power whether a singer charts well or not. That’s it Does it matter? Damage is done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's what I think. Steven Tyler screamed loudly in I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, and that song was played a lot on radio. I live outside the space time continuum.

That’s it Wasn’t it just discussed on here not too long ago, some interview with a radio host where he stated requests weren’t even taken into consideration anymore? i just don’t understand how the business model even holds up at this point.

It's mostly a song that has verse / chorus / verse /chorus / bridge / chorus, has a somewhat generic beat, simple, catchy, easy to listen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bigger issue than it being "radio friendly" The first updates were good, Gaga let it die. another shot before we kiss the other side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Superbowl performance we should had got it to number one MR streaming party, anyone? Bobby really missed that opportunity. Radio "deals" arrived week/weeks after MR reached top 4. There was no spotofy support. It was really a number 1 that got away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBEY 57,109 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Of course it's not only about the radio-friendliness of the songs but it does play a part in a song's success... just like the artist's name, reputation, age, state of their career, with what public the artist is popular/panders to, is the artist new and trendy amongst the youth, how the label promotes to radios, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
