Then they went on the cmt message board bragggin about how everyone wants them back. LOL!~ They dont have enough fans to do it legitimately.! It speaks volumes!

Country radio in Atlanta still shuns Dixie Chicks
By RODNEY HO | Monday, March 13, 2006, 01:57 AM
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Three years ago, Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks bashed President Bush on the eve of the Iraq war in London. (The infamous quote: “We’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.”)
Many country radio stations, including Kicks 101.5 and Eagle 106.7, pulled them from their playlists.
Neither station has spun a single Dixie Chicks song since, to no ill effect on their ratings. “I can’t imagine playing their stuff now,” said Steve Mitchell, afternoon jock for Eagle. Both stations test hundreds of songs with listeners; Dixie Chicks songs continue to rate near the bottom.
In a national survey of country radio fans, Edison Research found 43 percent were still upset “a lot” by Maines’ comments while 20 percent were “a little upset.” But only 21 percent of respondents said country radio shouldn’t play the Chicks at all while 45 percent disagreed with her viewpoint but didn’t mind their songs on the radio.
The Chicks’ first album since the controversy is due out May 23, and the first single “Not Ready to Make Nice,” addresses the issue head on.
Maines recently told Entertainment Weekly she no longer thinks much of the country music business: “They’ve shown their true colors. I like lots of country music, but as far as the industry and everything that happened … I couldn’t want to be farther away from that.”
Nationally, half the 192 country stations measured by Mediabase 24/7 did not play a Dixie Chicks tune last week. Markets which gave the Chicks the most spins were mostly in more liberal havens such as Austin, Texas, San Jose, Calif. and Spokane, Wash., though Nashville’s WSM-FM is still a big supporter.
