johnnox Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Req and ZD, in the time between Celebrations Release and MDNA, Radio One went for a younger audience therefore they were always going to ignore her. Celebration was only a very small hit and got no airplay on R1 for weeks, in fact I think not til about a week before it charted. As for BK, although a nice track, I don't think it had the balls or commercial appeal to be the lead single from A new campaign. But who knows? You might have been right.

horn Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The only other choice would have been Masterpiece. And while it's a nice ballad, it aint no Crazy or You or Rain. THIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 well its all a question of risk The main source of revenue is the Tour a single like GMAYL may not sell the album but it wont harm the tour sales gang bang had the risk of a backlash for the show Im Addicted is great ,i would have preferred as 1st single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnox Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Who cares what Radio one play? They're a bunch of dickheads. Ridiculous question. If you want sales when you are doing no personal promotion, having a big audience hear your music is vital. No Radio One is a big loss. If you don't care about having your music exposed widely, then yes, fuck Radio One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnox Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The obvious first single should have been a double a side. I'm Addicted backed with Love Spent or Masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big are Radio 1s audiences since they decided to alienate everyone over the age of 17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnox Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 BBC Radio 2 and Radio 4 have pulled in record numbers of listeners, according to the newest figures from Rajar. An average weekly audience of about 15.44 million tuned into Radio 2 while Radio 4's audience rose to 10.97 million a week. Chris Evans' Radio 2 breakfast show saw its average weekly reach fall slightly from 9.8 million to 9.75 million. Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw, who replaced Chris Moyles, saw his average breakfast audience climb to 5.88 million. The figures are up from 5.78 million in the first quarter of 2013, which represented a drop of almost a million following Moyles' departure.

rb19 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I may be wrong but I'm assuming Katy Perry doesn't get played on Radio one... It wouldn't matter seeing as her single isn't out her for another month. Can anyone explain why this keeps happening in this country/europe? We keep getting things yonks later than everywhere else in the world allowing buzz to fade, yet historically at times when it wouldn't have fucking mattered without immediate communications people managed to release things on time.

Guest Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Whenever they launch I mean. The point I'm making is that Radio 1 is not at all important for breaking acts/songs/albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
