Re: Mis-Teeq - Scandalous

[Bob]

I heard this last summer, Carson Daily played it on his radio countdown-- so I thought it had already gone for adds and flopped. I charted it on my personal chart, even.

[BookJones]

Will Urban & Chr/Rhythmic stations touch them?

[HER MINAJesty]

Maybe Rhythmic but nothing huge...I doubt Urban

As I've said numerous times, this was a fairly decent hit on z103.5 here last October/November

It's a hot track...

I wonder what they will do if it goes Top 10 in the US...probably nothing...since they already played it

same with the Kevyn Little situation...it was the #1 song of 2002 on that station, but they still play it strong in recurrent, I hear it at least 2 times a day...in fact I heard it earlier tonight, on both stations...

Anyhow, I wonder if it becomes a hit in the States, and with a video, if they will pick it up more...probably not, but since it's going to be summer anyways, they will be playing it as usual, since they never really STOPPED playing it...

[Bob]

it has potential to blow up at rhythmic, actually

I know that Urban radio is a format which primarily caters to an African-American audience.

But what gets me is that I wish the format would embrace R&B artists outside of America. I hardly hear of European R&B artists being shown some love at the Urban format.

I feel that's where Mis-teeq comes in. It would be great to see "Scandalous," on some Urban stations' playlist, although to be honest, it is a tad bit poppy for the format.

But then again, I feel that way about Destiny's Child, "Survivor," and it was an Urban hit too.

If it does hit the Urban radio market it may as well flop, ook at what happen with Craig David (kinda a crash & burn) situation there.

Krazymack I am with you with this.

I don't know why Urban & BET are scare of black music artists outside the USA.  Just about all EURO black artists music is up-beat. Who says all Urban music has to be super slow R&B or rap music? 

Then there is no way some of these outside USA Urban groups like Sugababes, Mis-Teeq, Kevyn Little and others, can hope to have long term future in the US by getting played on pop music KISS-FM stations.

The last outside USA Urban music artists to be play on urban radio was Mark Morrison & Craig David?

Sugababes aren't urban.

[HER MINAJesty]

I heard it on CHUM FM 104.5 last weekend, which is a Hot AC station here in Toronto

Not even CLOSE.

'Scandalous' is being remixed featuring an appearance by Twista. It's probably their last ditch attempt to get played on Urban and some more decent play on Rhythmic. I think they left it a bit too late.

'Scandalous (Remix ft. Twista)'

'Scandalous (Shekspere Remix)

These remixes are disappoiting, the Twista remix stole the beat of Mary's "Love @ 1st Sight" and the Shekspere Remix is quite dull, I would've expected him to come up with something better.

The beat for "love @ 1st sight" was the beat of a Biggie remix. So Mary stole the beat from that song.

As far as he remixes go i think they are ok. Not as good as the "cant get it back" Ignorants remix. now that song is ON FIRE and need sto be released here!

It's "Hot Sex" by A Tribe Called Quest..
