Just because a song doesn't go for adds yet doesn't mean program directors aren't checking out what they think could be the "next big thing" in music and play the song on their station.

i guess i just don't get the concept of "going for adds"...what respectable music director lets labels tell them what they should be playing on their station? i mean if they don't pick the songs themselves, then why bother hiring them?

I'd like to have a word or two with the program director who thought "the next big thing" on Alt would be an obvious EDM song.

Doc Indie Party Rock and Green Baron shocked everyone today by announcing they don't like when pop-sounding songs chart on alternative. In other news, we find out what bears really do in the woods.

It's to tell program directors which songs to focus on from full albums. It's an industry standard to lengthen the run of albums. Tons of songs go for adds, so PDs are still needed to decide which of these songs would fit in with their playlists.

LOL I'm really starting to like this one. Pop is one thing. EDM is another. I'm guilty of Synth Pop with pride and everyone knows it, . Love Demi Lovato, Pop too, but I don't miss her on the alt charts. This "Magnets" song falls under EDM. Again. not too terrible, but I don't need it on Alt charts.

Love Demi Lovato, Pop too, but I don't miss her on the alt charts. This "Magnets" song falls under EDM. Again. not too terrible, but I don't need it on Alt charts. Erm, do you not seem to remember these dance songs smashing on alternative back in the day? #7 in 1992 #4 in 1991 #5 in 1993 I don't see how "Magnets" charting here is any different from "Connected", DNA & Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner", & Sneaker Pimps' "Six Underground" charting since they were all top ten hits. Lest we not forget the number of electronic/dance/electronica songs that have made the chart in the last 25 years from Depeche Mode, Bjork, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, EMF, KLF, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Fatboy Slim, Capital Cities, MGMT, etc... the inclusion of dance/electronic songs add to the underground and eclectic element of "alternative" music. I hope the day will finally come when this forum stops thinking that grunge/hard rock is the only music that should be played on alternative radio. But that will never happen, sadly.

Disclosure are a little more ambiguous to my ears, kind of like Daft Punk. They're not EDM festival type of music, but they're clearly not a straight up Alternative band either. I think this song is find for the format, especially one where The Prodigy and Depeche Mode have had a ton of success.

It's really just the names that are throwing me off here. DISCLOSURE. LORDE. Maybe retitle the song Aphex Twin feat. Oneohtrix Point Never - "Magnets" and then it wouldn't trigger anger in my brain so much.
