'LFL proves US Radio still cares for Madonna' The Inquistir
The Inquistir interviewed BBC Radio 1 about the recent ageism controversy
Quote:
The Inquisitr spoke to Radio 1, who denied the claims [of a radio ban]
“First of all, there is no ban on Madonna. Her single ‘Living for Love’ might have been available since December, but the record company didn’t start pushing it until recently. We have played the song — I think more than once. It may not be played a lot on Radio 1 right now and may not be played at all in the future. But to say the song was ‘banned’ is an incredible lie and one that some are pushing to promote an obvious agenda against Madonna.”
Perhaps Radio 1 will see how successful Madonna has been in the United States with her new single and add it to their playlist. [...]
Also interesting, they confirmed that NO payola was served for the US radio performance of 'Living For Longevity'
Quote:
Many thought that Madonna’s new single was gaining airplay because of a radio pay deal, but it has been confirmed that radio stations are playing it out of their own will — that means Ms. Ciccone is getting a lot of requests and great call-out research.
Madonna has yet to debut on the Billboard Hot 100, but that should change now that “Living for Love” is getting a lot of exposure. The success of “Living for Love” will help Madonna’s next single “Ghosttown,” which probably won’t have to be released for a long time now that “Living for Love” is here for the long term. The folks at American radio obviously still care about the Queen of Pop. [...]
She's a touring artist now, commercially speaking. And that's good; that's where the money is. She shouldn't be bothered about album (commercial) performance, let alone single performance.
I do want "Ghosttown" and "Joan of Arc" videos, though.
They are such trash though, it's about time they got the public reaction they've deserved ever since Robbie Williams released "Candy" and they didn't use.
