Her single "Don't Know Why" didn't get much notice by the Top 40 stations. You're right. These days, unfortunately, thanks to consolidation in the industry, Music Directors and Program Directors at most Pop stations let the Record Reps do their job for them. If you only play songs that the record reps, (industry lobbyists) promote, you will miss a lot of potential hits.
If they were really Program or Music DIRECTORS they wouldn't be blind-sided by an artist who has sold over 6 million CDs, has a Number One AC single, receives airplay on most "ALICE" and "MIX" stations and sells out when she plays their market.
Again, from an insider, it's unfortunate that most PDs and MDs rarely play anything that isn't handed to them.
Doesn't anyone have a problem with her receiving 8 awards? 8? For one song? Granted, the whole album may be good, but 8 awards, rather than have others get their due.
This is one of the reasons I NEVER watch this trash. Award shows sicken me - the Acadamy awards, and the grammys. What other industry do you have people who work in it giving each other awards for the work they do. It's not sufficient to receive millions of dollars for their efforts, they have to have a national audience where they give each other awards for this!...
Sorry folks, but I find this a sickening display of narcissism.
Plus, they're all a bunch of libs anyway. Another reason to stay away...
