When it comes to older music, radio plays songs that are remembered and have stood the test of time. Britney's music is dated & forgotten so it doesn't get much spins.
Radio plays music it thinks people will like. Coincidentally (or not) most people have horrific taste.
American Idol used to give such huge sales boosts to people who performed. It used to have so much power. It's all gone now though - I'm shocked it hasn't been cancelled yet. I think it will after this season, because there's 0 hype for their new panel.
Katy could literally do a Madonna rip-off like she did with Brave and Madonna wouldn't even bother cause she knows that Katy is not a threat to her throne, but with Gaga it was all different.
I would bet Miley, Beyonce and Rihanna are the ones M is keeping an eye on now.

It's still a Top 10 show and the biggest one FOX has on their schedule. They don't really have enough incentive to cancel it.

So it's just DJ's opinions and nothing to do with record company?
Albums, singles, tour, media power, youtube, facebook, etc, etc, etc.
