question: why don't "THROWBACK" songs do well on radio? alicia's - teenage love affair also did poorly. I think a good song is ageless.

OMG, what a song. It's already my favorite of 2009.

This tune is okay, but Meltdown should have been the first single. It is a much stronger radio song.

So is Meltdown officially the new single? Has it gone for adds?

Are you sure "KF" is not Kevin Federline?

I dislike all the failing pop stars jumping on the country bandwagon. May he have a Jessica Simpson style flop. It doesn't bother me too much, except in cases like Jessica Simpson where the artist in question has a history of being a big phony bandwagon-jumper with little to no artistic merit. Admittedly I'm not familiar with this guy at all, but unless he's a male equivalent of Jessica Simpson talent-wise, I can't find much to complain about. Unlike Jess, this guy actually has talent. I think his biggest probem post-'Idol is the lack of material he has had to work with. If he had the benefit of the stud writers and producers like Jess has had, his career might really take off.

There are two things old school country audiences expect.. work your butt off & the show must go on. How many times during the recent tour was it reported that Jess forget lyrics or she was moaning that she didn't feel well, or she missed her guy. That just isn't going to cut it. People want to be entertained; they don't wanna hear that your voice isn't right that night.

It looks like she can take off her cowboy boots now. And honestly, I don't see pop radio welcoming her back with open arms (and ears) either via Epic.
Access Hollywood - April 7, 2009 1:17 PM PDT Hollywood LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Contrary to erroneous online reports, Jessica Simpson has not been dropped from her country music record label.
A country music Web site claimed the pop star-turned-country singer had been dumped by Columbia Nashville and Sony Music Nashville, noting Jessica was no longer present on either label's Web site.
However, a spokesperson for Jess' longtime label, Epic Records, said she was only working with the country labels on a temporary basis.
"Jessica is and has always been an Epic artist. She was on loan to Sony Nashville for her country album. She continues to be on Epic's label," the spokesperson told Access Hollywood on Tuesday.
When contacted by Access, a rep for Columbia Nashville said they would not comment on the report.
Jessica released "Do You Know" on Columbia Nashville in 2008. The album sold 65,000 copies in its first week and reached number four on the Billboard 200 chart. "Do You Know" also reached the top spot on the Top Country Albums chart.

^WB did not punish Madonna. That's stupid. Madonna could care less about radio and album sales. She makes all her money from touring now. That's why she is resuming her S&S tour this summer. Boy I couldn't disagree with this any more. If she didn't care about radio & album sales, she would never have done a duet with J Timberlake.

I couldn't disagree more and here is why...who said any publicity is good publicity? Even if we are just talking about Jess' waistline, it is pub that she (and her song & album) wouldn't be getting otherwise. And Jess has always been about self promotion.

There are reports that Jess has been letting herself go, just like Britney did before she hit rock bottom a couple years ago.

She hasn't been relevant in pop music for quite some time, and this country experiment is a disaster.
In a few years, she'll be on the reality TV circuit with Marsha Brady and Screech.

Jackson Parts Ways With Island Def Jam September 22, 2008 , 4:20 PM ET
Mariel Concepcion, N.Y. After just 14 months on Island Def Jam, Janet Jackson announced today (Sept. 22) her departure from the label. According to Jackson's publicist, the label agreed to dissolve their relationship with the artist at her request.
After a long stint with Virgin, Jackson inked a deal with Island in July 2007 and released her label debut, "Discipline," in February. When album sales failed to meet expectations, the singer expressed dissatisfaction with IDJ, first telling SOHH.com that the label "stopped all promotion whatsoever on the album" after releasing the first single, "Feedback."
Earlier this month, she hinted about potentially severing ties with IDJ to Billboard, stating, "I can't say if we'll be working with them in the future. I don't know what the future holds between the two of us."
Executive produced by Jackson and her boyfriend, Island Urban president Jermaine Dupri, "Discipline" debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 in March with 181,000 copies sold. But it has shifted only 415,000 copies in the United States so far, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and spent just 14 weeks on the chart.
Now, Jackson "will have autonomy over her career, without the restrictions of a label system," reads a statement from her team. "Always known to break new ground and set trends, Janet's departure from Island makes her one of the first superstar artists to have the individual freedom to promote their work through a variety of avenues such as iTunes, mobile carriers and other diverse and innovative channels."
Jackson is currently on the road with her first tour in seven years, "Rock Witchu," with support form LL Cool J and Donnie Klang. The Live Nation-promoted outing began Sept. 10 in Vancouver and runs through Oct. 22 in Dallas.
Moving forward, Jackson would seem to be a natural fit at Live Nation Artists, which is already home to Jay-Z, Nickelback and Shakira. A Live Nation spokesperson was unavailable for comment on the subject.

In a few weeks, this album will be toast, so Jess can take off her cowboy boots. I guess there won't be any need for Romo either or to insult Underwood.

I just noticed on R&R, instead of moving closer to the top, Come On Over is slipping 24-19.

Ashlee's new one is a major flop; so look for her to put on cowboy boots next, if Jess has success doing it.

The 3 main differences are: 1. Ed McMann does liners for the show, 2. there ARE commercials, & 3. the shows you'll hear are NOT shows that XM has. And...these shows have been edited and recut as one particular source recalls. I was a fresh teenager when I heard the June 28, 1986 version. I recorded it but then erased it. I especially noticed a couple of things. 1) The intro to the "Greatest Love Of All" was a piano intro (the LP version) which was blended into the single version. I remember hearing the LP version on that particular episode in full. 2) I noticed a bit of of a glitch at the intro to Jermaine Stewart's "Clothes Off". It sounded like they removed the original broadcast version of the song and added the remastered version of the song. Sometimes the episodes are different. For example two weeks ago, the XM countdown was 1979, while the over the air broadcast was 1977.

I think Jess is putting on cowboy boots out of necessity. Her last pop album didn't do anything. The single, Public Affair, raced up to #14 on the Hot 100 and fell off just as quickly. Followup releases didn't even sniff the pop charts.

Why did they work this song during the holidays? That is a rough time to launch. Heck, it was released as an iTunes single on 12/26!

Why didn't this do better? I am not a fan of McGraw, remakes in general, or even most Country music, but I thought this was an amazing song.

It would be nice if AC played classic AC artists like Carpenters, John Denver, Kenny Rogers, Sinatra, and Manilow. It seems AC is nothing more than 80s & 90s pop greatest hits with a few newer songs thrown in. And most of those tend to be cherry picked from other formats. For example, once Matchbox 20 end their pop/hot AC runs, that song will be picked up by AC.

When you see these charts, you have to wonder what has happened to the variety pop music used to have? Look at Sunday's post... on one station your could potentially hear BeeGees, David Bowie, Isley Brothers, Helen Reddy, NAZARATH, ELO, John Denver, and Barry Manilow!

Why do you think AM Stereo has never taken off? I had a high end radio back in the early 80s with FM Stereo/AM Stereo and the sound quality was very comparable.

You have to remember there was an unofficial 3 minute song limit well into the 70s and even the early 80s. I have read stories where record companies would edit songs as much as they could and if they still couldn't get the track below 3:04-3:06, they would show the running time on the 45 label as "2:59" just to enhance airplay opportunities.
I have also read stories of radio stations speeding up 45s (playing them at 47-48 rpms) to shorten the playing time.
You folks in radio can correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the primary driver in the creation of FM radio was in those days FM didn't face the same restrictions as AM thus they could play longer songs.
