Title: GOYS airplay ?
Post by: mkdsone on October 16, 2018, 10:13:31 AM
Since 'Good On You Son' was sent into the digital world I've been trying to hear it on the radio too…

In Belgium it's mostly Radio 1 that is picking up and playing new MK music.
But the last three weeks I never heard the song on the radio or found it on any of the station's playlists and voting lists.
I sent them an email with the question why they are not playing the new song and their answer was really surprising :
"we have to divide the playlist-time between so many artists and songs these days, so when we are not so convinced about one song it misses the playlists. We might play it one time, but not regularly..."  ???

I think GOYS is a solid single and has a catchy tune, even my wife likes it and my children sing along with the chorus, so, for me, it really deserves some radio airplay !  :thumbsup

Do you hear the song on the radio in your country ?

Considering the crap that's on they radio these days I would imagine that's it's more of an award for MK not to be played. Plus, the track is too long and everything with a calm intro has difficulties to get on any playlist...

Don't have data for the first half of october but I suspect the trail has gone cold soon because for those few days that I can access october data for they only played it today at 11:14.
