Some songs get heavy radio play while people dont stream it that much.
I never said radio payola doesn't exist
the latter
That makes more sense, thanks
Radio stations don't have the music to play themselves, the music is literally sent to stations by labels. This is the most dumbass question i have ever seen on here and I cant believe this has more than 1 page.
People calling this payola have no clue what payola even is, its just ignorant children saying s*** to say it
Damn I didnt know this tbh. Thought they could play whatever they felt like or what was popping/what people wanted
But yeah yall dumb as s*** for thinking that labels or radio stations would announce payola by saying "its being sent to radio" lmao
Not as long as they get billboard to keep giving them more power vs streaming and purchases
I had no idea that’s how they were counted tbh
