no i guess it isnt. I stopped listening to mainstream radio a long time ago. The only thing that I really listen to. Now it's classic rock there's not too many stations that play it. I remember when the Rolling Stones put out a single (I can't get no satisfaction) that song played every 20 min. on the radio for weeks on end. So yeah you talk about your promotional radio. Everything now is digital, you have iTunes, you have Rhapsody radio, there's Pandora and a plethora of many more. So for Haley to have her single he played on the radio. It's good to take a lot of finagling and bending from her management company. If that is all possible. I don't know what kind of influence they have on mainstream radio. But if by chance her single is a hit and she will be able to promote tours and concerts. This is her first real year. As far as making music goes professionally so we will see what is in store for her all the best of luck to you girl.
Well, given the different audiences, this may not matter, but I remember seeing an online article last spring, probably close to the end of the AI10 season, wherein the topic was those working at country radio stations and how they did not plan to play/wanted to not be in the station when TPTB came around promoting play of Scotty's and Lauren's recordings. Yet both seem to have gotten enough coverage/play to help sell their albums. (Scotty's even won an award -- seriously??)
Maybe we need to use Haley's example of positive thinking and operate from that viewpoint.
