Hi everyone, I collect r&b/hip hop promo cd singles. I've always wanted a radio station hook up. Looking at this board it seems that most of you are. Is there anyway someone can hook me up or show me how to get more. I mostly buy them in philly but they don't have everything.

LMAO. Sorry but most people here are still in high school. No one here works for the radio, that I know of.

Didn't know I was a comedian. The Urban side of this board has producer's and radio employees.

For what it's worth, I have a copy of the Incubus "Megalomaniac" promo single that I recieved in the mail because I pre-ordered their latest album. (Yes, I know it's not R&B/hip-hop.)

what are the purpose of them?? Traditionally, they are what is sent to stations so that they can play a song. Now it's done electronically most often. |

And typically, they are not to be commercially sold. Which is why if you have one it's rather rare.

Commercial singles offer, naturally, the album version, possibly with a few remixes or whatnot, maybe a bonus track not found on the album. Promo singles can feature a number of things more relevant to a radio station, though. 4 examples: Boomkat, "The Wreckoning" 1. Radio Edit 2. Radio Edit w/ Mystic 3. Album Version Jimmy Eat World, "A Praise Chorus" 1. Radio Edit 2. Album Version Jay-Z, "Excuse Me Miss" 1. Radio Edit 2. Instrumental 3. Call Out Hook Lil' Kim featuring Mr. Cheeks, "The Jump Off" 1. Clean Radio Edit 2. Instrumental 3. Album Version |

I've seen promo singles go to a PD or MD's place of residence instead of the radio station.

I've seen promo singles go to a PD or MD's place of residence instead of the radio station. Yeah, I use to be an MD and I never got anything mailed to my residence but I knew some of our djs got stuff sent to them secretely because they were on record mailing lists. My boss would've probably fired me on the spot if she thought I was receiving music at home (She thought my PD was already doing it anyways). She was crazy like that  . I still got my share of promos from the station though, lol. |
