Nothing. Radio plays what they want to play, lol.

 

US radio tends to pick winners - they don't just play a bunch of new songs for a few weeks as in UK, then drop them the moment sales fade. Also the US had VMA .promo and KIA promo for sales, and Gaga wooing major stations.

I don't think we'll ever really know. I just think songs are stronger in different areas though.

 

Some sound better on the radio than they do at your computer with headphones, and some songs are fun to jam out when youre sitting in traffic but its not quite good enough youd wanna buy it.

 

"Turntable hits" are just a thing. 'I Love It' and 'Safe & Sound' come  to mind. Considerably low sales vs airplay.
