Thats what im saying

Radio air play up 9%
General interest (streaming/searching for the song to play) down 14%
Sales down 30%

wouldnt air play trend right with general interest ? If people are searching for the song less and less to play / stream , why would air play go up ? I dont look at those charts that detailed but I cant recall a song that this has happened to

Shouldnt streams stay stagnant or go up same time as radio play is rising? (you know radio stations playing what people are interesting in hearing)

all awhile, Nokia gets millions of streams and 0 air play

Game always been rigged but this the biggest example in history
Radio lags behind. They don't break songs anymore. They get sent songs but those songs have to become hits b4 they play them in regular rotation. Once they do you will see air play increase... even if streams are down. Radio is tricky bc it could be a hit in a certain market but barely played in another. Hence why you see some artists do promo runs.

It's the main reason why A Bar Song stays on the charts. It's getting spins on pop, county and urban stations in several markets so it never drops.

Which is why he's doing the Wireless festival in the UK w/
Burna Boy
Vybz Kartel
Summer Walker

Pretty much aligning himself with black women and the diaspora (R&B, Dancehall, and Afrobeats)


I would say hopefully he doesn't make the same mistake with those groups.

It’s damn near impossible to make a mistake with those groups.
The “canceled” list from those genres
R&B…R.Kelly
Dancehall…Deva Bratt
Afrobeats…Naira Marley

Drake is just attaching himself to diaspora because Kartel and Burna are damn near untouchable.

It’s strategic and the smartest thing he’s done since “Family Matters”
