The radio is simply there to pick up the most number of listeners (that's making a big generalisation, and not always the case, but for most it is true), which means playing the most sold singles or the ones expected to sell most... hence why there is a lot of chart stuff on the radio... if a "good" song makes it in there, it will also be played, but not really by taste simply by numbers...
That's why boy bands (i really dont like that name, I mean what do you call an all male band other than a boy band, a guy band, a man band :))/ girl bands, as chlichied, unoriginal and insinceir thier stuff is, it gets ALOT of air play, because it sells...
The problem is this type of stuff sells better when it gets more air play :mad: ...
In the end as long as there is good music that I can get my hands on (be it on limited edition 7' or mp3), I'm happy...
