Payola?

Post by BSmack »

Who woulda thunk it?

:lol:

"Please be advised that in this week's Jennifer Lopez Top 40 Spin Increase of 236 we bought 63 spins at a cost of $3,600."

"Please be advised that in this week's Good Charlotte Top 40 Spin Increase of 61 we bought approximately 250 spins at a cost of $17K …"

From a Sony internal memo on Sept. 8, 2004: "Two weeks ago it cost us over 4000.00 to get Franz [Ferdinand] on WKSE."
"Once upon a time, dinosaurs didn't have families. They lived in the woods and ate their children. It was a golden age."

—Earl Sinclair

On Stern this morning I heard that Mariah Carey had the #1 song so I knew Payola was back in the house.

This is yet another reason why radio stations suck ass.

Oh well, go ahead and keep fucking yourself. We don't mind picking up your previously frustrated listeners.
