May 12, 20179 yr It's also to do with the fact that they didn't playlist her last couple of singles - people assumed that meant that they were done with her, which wasn't an unreasonable assumption in this case, but I'm glad I've been proved wrong. I hope they give her next era a chance too, as long as she produces the quality. Yes I know that's why people assumed she wasn't playlisted, I just meant the explanation for that wasn't 'impact dates'. Radios work to impact dates a lot less these days anyway.
May 12, 20179 yr It is strange that Kendrick is off so soon - top 10 for a song like that is great so think it deserved longer in the A list, esp considering stations like Capital don't support it!
May 12, 20179 yr Yes I know that's why people assumed she wasn't playlisted, I just meant the explanation for that wasn't 'impact dates'. Radios work to impact dates a lot less these days anyway. It's pointless working to impact dates with first single releases imo especially ones that shoot straight into the top 10!
May 12, 20179 yr It's pointless working to impact dates with first single releases imo especially ones that shoot straight into the top 10! Yeah, I think impact weeks are used more for post-album singles these days. With on air singles it's pretty much good to get as much support off the bat as possible.
May 12, 20179 yr Yeah, I think impact weeks are used more for post-album singles these days. With on air singles it's pretty much good to get as much support off the bat as possible. Yeh preferably high playlist entries (depending on the artist/largeness of the release)!
May 12, 20179 yr Miley being immediately added is amazing! Actually really good additions all around, particularly Charlie/Halsey/Niall.
May 12, 20179 yr surprised Galway Girl is off, also do we reckon they're gonna snub Despacito? sure they cannot ignore its popularity and it has Bieber on the remix
May 12, 20179 yr surprised Galway Girl is off, also do we reckon they're gonna snub Despacito? sure they cannot ignore its popularity and it has Bieber on the remix I was told Galway Girl had the most radio complaints on Capital since Marvin Gaye, so maybe that's why Radio 1 took it off slightly earlier than they usually would.
May 12, 20179 yr I was told Galway Girl had the most radio complaints on Capital since Marvin Gaye, so maybe that's why Radio 1 took it off slightly earlier than they usually would. Oh seriously... people need to get a life. I don't understand why Capital listeners are so offended, there's nothing lyrically offensive about it.:drama:
May 12, 20179 yr 6 years ago today both Judas and The Edge of Glory were on the A-List :o so happy The Cure is on there <3
May 12, 20179 yr They were clearly reluctant to add Gaga seeing as though she's been struggling for a while now, so I assume they wanted to see how The Cure held up before they added it to their playlist. SO happy, though! :wub:
May 12, 20179 yr Author I was told Galway Girl had the most radio complaints on Capital since Marvin Gaye, so maybe that's why Radio 1 took it off slightly earlier than they usually would. Complaints about what exactly?? What's offensive about it? :unsure:
May 13, 20179 yr Complaints about what exactly?? What's offensive about it? :unsure: Basically that it's annoying. Usually it's novelty songs like Selfie and Gangnam Style that get the most complaints but every now and then 'normal songs' get listener complaints for stations 'playing it too much' if there's something really cheesy and jarring as part of the song.
May 14, 20179 yr Does being on the C List really make much of a difference at all? How many plays a day?
May 14, 20179 yr I can only assume these people REALLY have nothing better to do lmao We're talking about Capital Fm listeners so that was the case in the first place anyway.
