They would have listed the radio add dates in the press release and it would have gotten at least "some" spins by now LFL and GT got "some"spins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the song, if it's negative, it's NOT because of Madonna, the complete opposite, she should be treated as the legend she is by Interscope...

Confessit Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 16 minutes ago, Samo said: BIM EXPLODED on YT and streams and was completely ignored at radio Most acts, even older acts like Madonna,have a team at their record label that pushes their songs at radio and book interviews and contests and other radio promotion for their acts. Madonna does not have this at Interscope, it's actually baffling and unheard of. And I follow a lot of older veteran acts, it's the first I've ever seen. There's ZERO radio push I knew something was up when the press release didn't even announce the radio add/impact dates EVERY Madonna album in the past and basically every major Artist, has that listed I'm their press releases for their new albums BIM was a different beast. Firstly it wasn't the lead single from an album and secondly it didn't have Maluma featured with his massive online presence. It exploded for a fortnight online then dropped into oblivion, hardly enough for radio to sit up and take notice and start playing it. One would hope Medlin can achieve triple the streams BIM did.....it's a much better song, has a streaming superstar attached and is the lead single. So there is far more hope for it to succeed.

But I don't think they're gonna give a 60 yo woman a lot of airplay. It just wasn't gonna happen no matter what she and her team did. Stations cater very strongly to their advertisers, and most of them focus on a younger audience. None of them believe Madonna is commercial enough at this stage of the game.

If Medlin achieves enough streams to land a place in top ten charts in territories across the world, the song will sit alongside 9 other songs that all get radio play. The radio is driven by what's popular on streaming......so Medlin therefore would be the only song massively popular enough to gain a top 10 in streaming/online charts not to get radio play. I can't see radio being able to refuse to play it in this scenario. Lets wait and see the song hasn't been sent to radio yet it's still gaining online popularity.

Iconic Fetus Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Don’t role this out because it’s only 26h since it came out and it already has 2.74M on YouTube, 540k streams only on Spotify and it’s the #9 song worldwide on iTunes, in the top 10 in the main countries like USA, UK, France, Spain, Germany and Italy. Next week the video premiere and the mtv event will be broadcasted worldwide on all the mtv channels and will push the song a little bit more.

mmmike Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I really think they will do a radio and video roll out together. No radio station has played the song even in her strongest markets which tell me radio may have been told to wait to spin the song until a certain time/date.

bardo Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 it's possible that they're trying to build up recognizability online for a week or two before going for radio adds (and with a radio edit). yes that's unorthodox, but m isn't ariana grande so her name alone isn't enough anymore. if stations start testing the song and no one knows it, that will affect scores and radio will drop it immediately. hopefully there's a strategy here. at the very least they have to be planning on servicing this to latin-pop stations. and maybe the second single will be targeted to pop.

Radio needs to get with the Effin times - I don’t know any 16-28 year olds that listen to radio anymore! Generation X Y Z stream & listen to podcasts or YouTubeish sound bites of shite! its more the 30 plus demographic who still actually tune in to the radio! Also you talk as if there are no adult contemporary radio stations out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltacubo Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Guys theyre not stupid- if they havent sent it to radio its for a reason that Madonna has agreed to. Either they want to let it grow organically on streams and video plays so that it can positioned better to radio when they do send it or leave the cards open to push another single to radio fully knowing Medellin has traction because of the Lead single / Maluma factor and they are focusing on longetivity rather than bang. It has more merit and profit to keep audiences- engaged, buying, streaming and watching- over time than do a crazy expensive push that burns out quickly like GMAYL (we can skip LFL because that project was derailed as it was).
