not even sure what the occ considers as promotion

cos for instance Bohemian Rhapsody was kept at ACR despite the movie release

so the same could happen to Last Xmas this time... even if the movie is out

 

I see why the Lizzo singles were taken off ACR, as they were proper singles sent to radio and being playlisted

I'm assuming the OCC will accept a reset request from a label as long as it is reasonable in the circumstances. If the label doesn't request a reset then it won't happen, the OCC wouldn't unilaterally decide to reset a track. As for what is reasonable, I assume it's if a label is actively promoting a 3+ year old track in the same way as the label would actively promote a new track.At the very least there would be a promotions team involved.

 

^Agree on that one

and the saddest thing, it's by far the best of all the newies we have this week :/ if only the urban music fans listened to Frank Ocean instead of Fredo :D

 

Any non-urban new entry is a plus in the top 40 these days!

Yeh true and it's hard to know how much labels know about this especially non-U.K. artist label!
