March 7, 201511 yr So many additions to Capital! They're really keeping their list fresh! Carly add in b4 the big US stations add it :o
March 11, 201511 yr Ooh! Capital finally showing support for 'One Last Time'? Hopefully that'll help it out!
March 12, 201511 yr Capital have playlisted Time of Our Lives then. Generic Pitbull yes but it's so catchy and has a great beat. Ne-Yo's good in it aswell.
March 12, 201511 yr Interesting news about Capital... FACE-OFF: A big move is rumored to be in the works, with all three U.K. majors joining forces in opposition to Ashley Tabor’s wildly successful Capital FM, Britain’s leading commercial Top 40 station, on the issue of day and date. Capital FM has long demanded exclusive tracks from high-end acts before they go to iTunes, Spotify or any other streaming service, and has been known to penalize those labels that refuse to play along by dropping their records from the station’s playlist. The majors are reportedly planning to push back by refusing to give Capital FM those exclusives. Expect Capital FM not to rollover but to push back hard against the majors’ joint offensive. http://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=295022
March 12, 201511 yr I hate how fickle UK radio is. It's awful how Radio 1 and Capital effectively dictate what becomes a hit.
March 12, 201511 yr It reminds me of when they banned One Direction after they thanked Radio 1 at the Brits. Pathetic.
March 12, 201511 yr I hate how fickle UK radio is. It's awful how Radio 1 and Capital effectively dictate what becomes a hit. Agreed. It's odd that this is the case in this day and age when music is instantly available to us online and we have the chance to choose what we want to like and make popular.
March 12, 201511 yr It's awful how Radio 1 and Capital effectively dictate what becomes a hit. I agree. It probably wasn't so bad pre-2010 when Capital FM wasn't the powerhouse it is today, but now it dictates the charts so much. Oh well. I wouldn't even mind that much if the station played a wider variety of songs and/or didn't play certain songs in high rotation for so long (hence keeping them in the charts for ages).
March 12, 201511 yr I don't get it so capital want to get an exclusive first play before release then?
March 12, 201511 yr Yeah, Capital want the fans to have to listen to them to hear their favourite act's new single.
March 13, 201511 yr But it only effects shity pop records they know will be hits right not good music radio 1 gets premiered of - right?
March 13, 201511 yr But it only effects shity pop records they know will be hits right not good music radio 1 gets premiered of - right? Oh my god! Elitist much?
March 14, 201511 yr Sorry I wasn't sitting at my computer all day pressing F5 repeatedly on Chart Chat in anticipation for it!!
