WPLJ in New York has started to play "All I Need". It's one of the biggest Hot AC stations in the US, maybe the biggest I've heard. Is this an early indication of another single being tested and why "Downfall" was jerked off about every station playing in less than a week?
Or is this another KSTZ Des Moines deal?
I actually spoke with Mary Conroy a few months back about ALL I NEED being a single to radio, and she said it was down to DOWNFALL & ALL I NEED. She also said she had no doubt ALL I NEED would be another huge radio hit but she thought DOWNFALL might be able to squeeze a few more records sold out, whatever that means, I always thought radio airplay,hit song= sales.
She also said they were not going to promote DOWNFALL to POP unless it went atleast Top 20 at HOT AC and it didn't and she said not too be suprised if they change courses midway and shift to ALL I NEED as the official 4th release to POP,Hot & Modern AC and maybe even AC. I always thought this song was too catchy to just be heard by the few million people who bought it, I told her it needed to be her by the masses and she agreed. I also told her i thought not releasing a 4th single because of Rob's new cd was crazy because radio and the fans take care of Matchbox and they should give radio and the fans a 4th single, I mean if Usher can 3 in the top 40 at one time, Matchbox can have 4 off 1 cd. And even if All I Need does blow up for 4 or 5 months, just hold back Rob's cd til around christmas. Believe me radio will be hungry. She also said Rob was scrared of overexsposure and burning out the fans. I just laughed and said Matchbox Twenty can have the #1 song in the US for 20+ weeks and Blink 182 will be on the cover of Rollingstone magazine. I don't think Matchbox Twenty have ever been as big as there songs and are under rated. So worry about Outkast or Britney burning out not Matchbox. She said she admired my passion, I told her I just hate to see good bands & songs get overlooked. I love programming music and bands like Matchbox Twenty make it worth the while.
Just thought i'd share that, I don't know why, I just thought it was pretty interesting to see what goes on before singles are released!!!
