It doesn't always force radio to pay attention, badrobot- remember that No. 1 digital hit called "Hung Up"? :) But, it's probably different for new- and younger- acts.

It's true, but a lot of the times it's too little too late, the sales already peaked by the time the airplay catches up, thus rendering the song to not chart as well as it should have been. I feel like "Breakeven" by The Script got shafted.. it took a long time to reach the top 10 in airplay, but it had long peaked in sales. I wonder how far La Roux can go, it already looks like the sales are on the decline, and even so, the airplay has only grown minimally. I mean come on, the song has been out for nearly six months stateside and it has barely peaked past 40 million on airplay. But then you get songs by established artists like Usher and Katy Perry who can achieve that feat in almost two weeks. Why are you saying La Roux already peaked in sales? It jumped 11-7* on digital sales this week. Also its airplay is continuing to grow. 40+ million is nothing to sneeze at. |

I guess I am thinking more of new/unestablished artists. But, who's to say Hung Up wouldn't have done worse in airplay without the sales success? That song had to not only prove itself on its own but also had to overcome residual negative stigma post-American Life. |

I think GaGa could break into the top 5 next week and Kesha top 3.

Well the sales popularity bar had La Roux at about 5-6 for most of last week, but since around Sunday/Monday they have dropped to about 9-10. I would call that a decline no?

It depends on the market as a whole. If the songs above it are doing phenomenally well it could be gaining. It could be the peak but I'd be surprised if it was. I'm betting sales are maybe stabilizing but will remain high while airplay continues to climb. |

Radio ageism and artist discrimination I think is quite a bit different than unknown artists receiving radio play because of iTunes momentum. And I think iTunes is more instrumental than it was five years ago too. |

I wish the record label would have kept Bulletproof at $0.99 instead of $1.29 those greedy bastards.
