Help Stevie on the Billboard!

Some stations also have feedback and polls on their dedicated websites.

Streaming activity data from online music sources is now included in Billboard's formula, so seek those out as well and provide feedback if allowed. Radio programmers take note of what others are playing as well as noted increases in spins. It's all very follow the leader. Young people tend to offer more feedback on the performers they like and discuss them on chat boards which is one why Britney, Katy Perry, Gaga, etc. overwhelm radio, etc.

Thanks for your input and knowledge!

And guys, this DOES work. I'm part of an Avril Lavigne forum, and we managed to get her song from somewhere in the top 20 last week to #8 this week, and that was only from 2 days of requesting. If we have all week with all us fans requesting as much as we can, we could get Secret Love to chart easily!!

Just don't ask to use my parent's garage to put on a neighborhood musical!

The problem with top 40 radio these days is all the crap tunes take over the airplay list and people like Stevie and other seasoned artists will not get any airplay.I remember 2003 when FM 's "Say You Will' was on the radio.it last not even a month of airplay.On the other hand .If "Cheaper Then Free" gets promoted on country radio.In which Stevie will have a better chance to do better then the top 40 charts.That will give people like her friend Taylor Swift a break from been number one all the time.Now if Stevie cuts a cd like Lady Gaga,Katy Perry,Rihanna ,Cee Lo Green or a mad rap hip hop cd ,she will march up to the top of the charts and blow them away.

I just did it.

My good deed for the day, LOL.

Barf-O-Rama seeing all the Black Eyed Peas songs listed on there tho... they are sooo gimmicky. (sorry, if I'm offending anyone - I just can't stand their music)

I understand what you're saying, so that's why we need to REQUEST into these top 40 stations. They WILL play it if they get requested ENOUGH times.

I feel like some people are missing the point of this...

[Macfanforever]

Yes .you are right.I agree.

[HighPassion]

So excited how so many people are willing to help out! We could be makin Stevie history right now.

Its like, if we could get her up in the charts - it's like sticking it to all the hip hop and crap that dominates the waves today.

Who knows, maybe this will be the breath of fresh air that could get music back on track. Doubtful, but hey - what the hell?


Another thing, when a lead single charts well - it makes it a lot more easier for the following singles on the album to get more airplay - because there's already recognition. So, if Secret Love does moderate on the charts (steadily), we have a better chance of getting more singles out of it!! Maybe Cheaper Than Free will be single #2.

Looking at the charts and such... There is actually a likely chance for Stevie to hit #2 or 3 on the album charts for the first week... Fleet Foxes looks to be the only other big album up for release that week... That should give the album some pretty good buzz...Lets hope Gaga's album doesn't leak and get a release that week, though...

after looking at amazon they still have the beastie boys cd coming out on the 3rd as well as the new jennifer lopez, shinedown, sixx am, now 38 and sade the ultimate collection. she should have put the cd out this week. nothing else really came out besides glee.
