R. Kelly: "Step In The Name Of Love"

[EvanJ]

I doubt it, but I could see Adult Contemporary playing this. It will go for CHR-Pop adds and could have a chance on Adult Contemporary if it's a CHR-Pop hit. If Hot Adult Contemporary can play "Where Is The Love?," then Adult Contemporary can play "Step In The Name Of Love."

I really do not see Adult Contemporary playing this. A midtempo R. Kelly song? Maybe if it was an inspirational ballad, but I don't see AC as the format to play a midtempo sexual ballad by R. Kelly.

[allow that]

This does not belong anywhere near AC.

If AC radio can play "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You"--a song that explicitly refers to an affair--why not? Having said that, I don't see AC radio playing "Step In the Name of Love" unless it becomes a huge hit on CHR/pop.

I remember "All For You" charting on Adult Contemporary or Hot Adult Contemporary and on R and R somebody said she's openly a slut on that song.
Celine also says "to make love to you" on "I Drove All Night."

I think there's a difference between having a "sexxxy" song and having a song that casually mentions making love to someone.

"All For You" definitely never charted on AC and I don't remember it charting on Hot AC either, though I could be wrong.

I'm sorry I started this topic.

This did bring flashbacks to Aaron's topic back on the old boards. That was a classic!
