If you request it, then it will be played. Not immediately, but later in the day it will. And nobody listens to radio anymore. this is not true. the week it was released i called in to request it and the lady said they didn’t have it 🤦🏽♀️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hELXIG 43,424 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Wtf is it really not played on pop radio in the US????

LilyLark 10,122 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 American radios have deep connections to certain labels. It's not necessary payola, but there's a reason Ariana gets more #1s even though Bey sells more pure albums. Also, once a singer gets labeled as an "album" artist rather than a "single" artist it can be hard to break out. Lastly, dance-pop and soft-rock aren't as popular over the past few years compared to more strict electronic, r & b pop, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
melon 3,606 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 seems like Z100 have now put shallow on sub-power, hopefully KIIS follows and we can get some decent radio updates over the next few days show me to me please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazzarus 2,411 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Im guessing that they will be forced to play Shallow once it hits number 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolTrainerTerry 1,459 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Y'all must have some crappy radio stations where you live, because my local pop station plays it all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girls Like You is an example of that, so is Ariana. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchwineLove 1,374 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 because Shallow doesn't conform the current music atmosphere in the radio so maybe they afraid that it will disturb the radio vibe or mood, lol it's just my pretentious assumption tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
