    No. 3 - Lil Wayne (+15.3 million)

    No. 4 - Ray J (-4.8 million)

    No. 34 - Rihanna (+7.8 million)

    No. 46 - Usher, Beyonce & Lil Wayne (+22.4 million)

    No. 66 - Mariah (+8.4 million)

    you think she'll rise some more?

  2. Audience reach for statiosn in Philly have lessened- WPST (Trenton, NJ) isn't that big of a station- it's now a Hot AC station, and the audience data isn't too big. Q-102's reach has gone down a lot too in recent years (though I imagine it's like that with a lot of big markets- even Z-100's most-played song a few years back had 10m+ audience; now it's like 8.5m or so).

    pst is a hot ac station???

    i remember playing Sorry quite alot

    And its very surprising for q102 to play 4 minutes a heafty lot

  3. I heard 4 MIN on SoJo 104.9 todayl Thats a big station and the first time I heard it on there. I have yet to hear it on Q102 but someone here reported that they heard it.

    Also before it came on Z100 this afternoon a female DJ said that Madonna has another thing to add to her Grammy and being inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame from this year, and she went on to say that her album "Hard Candy" is still a month away, but that presales are through the roof. :clap:

    q102 has been playing it, surprisingly

    so has 94.5

    great that sojo is hopping on it

    they've been playing it since its been out

  4. People, urban radio will NOT play new Madonna music, no matter the collaborators. I truly cannot imagine anyone would think otherwise. What other person with zero black blood in their veins, and near her age, has gotten notable airplay at urban radio in recent times? Uh huh.

    they played Nelly Furtado

    Nelly Fucking Furtado

    remember her? she sang that crappy annoying indie song "im like a bird"?

  5. Okay, because the misinformation train is back on track, some FACTS to get people less insane:

    -DJs do NOT make playlists. Music directors at various radio stations determine the playlist. Ryan Seacrest likely has nothing to do with whether or not any songs get played.

    -Requests RARELY matter. There was a time in the past where they did, but today, the combination of music directors, radio research, and insane fans sending thousands of requests online and over the phone to stations they don't even listen to (and often aren't even in their own state or country) have made radio stations completely disregard them. Yes, those of you who participate in online request-a-thons at tons of radio stations are a huge part of why those requests now mean nothing.

    -Radio stations often build their playlists around audience call-out research -- they play snippets of songs to people randomly over the phone or sometimes online, and ask them to rate the songs. They check that against their target demographics and that influences their playlist. 4 Minutes came out 3 days ago. There has not been enough time to get much (if any) research and so stations that rely on this are likely hesitant until they hear results.

    -Radio is NOT like sales at all -- it is very much a slow build. Not every station plays a song the first day it is available. Even huge songs start low and grow after that - over MONTHS, not a few days.

    KIIS is almost undoubtedly waiting to see audience testing results and get a feel for whether their listeners will like the song. They know that when they get requests it's from batshit crazy fans who are not actual listeners, so that's not an accurate gauge for them.

    Seriously people. PATIENCE. I have never seen this board go so far over the top completely insane over something that it is WAY TOO EARLY to draw any conclusions from.

    Chill.

    thankyou
