Aslyn's a "she." Other than that, no clue.

iTunes has been offering her song for download free of charge all week. Apparently, they've made a pact with AT40 to offer their "Out Of The Box" singles free every week (haven't been posting for awhile...don't know if that's been said already). That said, they don't have a bio or anything, and...neither do I.

What is the point of playing songs as extras that some stations still play regurally?

The station here's been playing her song for about a month

If that's the case, I guess we can expect the majority of upcoming AT40 "Out Of The Box" songs to be relatively unknown artists (I can't see them offering big names for free).

The feature is, basically, offered as a "time filler" that stations can opt to use in lieu of extra commercials.

According to www.aslyn.net/, she's a singer-songwriter from Florida. Her debut album is called "Lemon Love".

[mst3k]

Cool, she's from Chiefland (out in the sticks west of Gainesville).

HamJerzee, you are correct. AT40 and Carson Daly's Most Requested has made a deal with iTunes about the "Out of the Box" and "Catch of the Week" respectively. I wonder if the Weekly Top 40 will make the same deal with the Sure Shot?

Hopefully this doesn't mean more crappy songs with no chance of being a hit will be Out of the Box.

How many songs have been Out of the Box but never hit the top 40? Is Aslyn the first?

There are two others that I can think of off the top of my head:

Widelife with Simone Denny - All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)
Wayne Wonder - Hold Me Now

Of course, these songs were probably played due to the guests that were on the show those weeks.  The Fab 5 of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy were guests the week Widelife was played (it's the theme song).  Adam Sandler was on the show promoting 50 First Dates the week Wayne Wonder was played (it's on the soundtrack).

Because radio stations are dead set against playing songs that aren't on their carved-in-stone playlists.

Maybe i'm wrong, but I remember it a post here having Diana DeGarmo's "Emotional" as Out of the Box one or two weeks ago; it's safe to say that song is dead, and it peaked somewhere in the 50s I think.
