In 2010 Alexandra Burke was most played UK female on radio after huge no1 airplay hits (Bad boys, All night long....)
This year she released her first single Elephant but failed to receive support from most important radio stations in UK. Elephant barely managed to go top 40 on airplay , BBC Radio 1 playlisted it on their B list 2 weeks in a row after Elephant was released....after 2 weeks they dropped it........other super important UK radio station Capital FM totally ignored Elephant.
Few weeks before Elephant release Radio 1 DJ shaded Alexandra on air
Radio 1 DJ shades Alexandra Burke
Last week she premiered her new single Let it go and almost week after premiere she didn't receive any radio support from radio stations......
Today her fans had an argue with Capital Dj Mark Findlay on twitter

Discussions at playlist meeting become a little awkward.

Do you think that Elephant and Let it go deserve to be airplay hits , do you think that miss Burke is blacklisted on UK radio and why they do this to her?
This single has to do well since its leading into the album release. I say its time to whip out the payola.
