Title: Are the singles getting airplay on your local station?
Post by: crowbi_wan on July 05, 2008, 17:10:12
I'm curious if either The Only One or Freakshow are getting any airplay around the globe?  A local Seattle station has been playing The Only One quite a bit, but I've never heard Freakshow.  I'd imagine that stations can't justify giving airtime to two new Cure songs and are simply going with the first one.  Hopefully they get on board with Sleep When I'm Dead.  That one could be a minor hit for them.

They haven't played the new singles here in Norway. If they play The Cure on the radio it's most likely Close to Me, Friday I'm in Love or Just Like Heaven.

The Only one a few times it's also on a list in Belgium. It was on the radio for the first time at 20th of June.

The Freakshow still not  :x

Freakshow is being played on 95Bfm (www.95bfm.com) semi-regularly and I heard The Only One a couple of times on 99 FM The Rock here in Auckland, New Zealand. BFM is the student radio station so not surprising to hear it there. I haven't actually been into town to see if you can buy the singles though as I
got them online

I don't listen to the radio anymore, but my brother knows The Only One. And as much as I'd like to take credit for that, it's cause the local radio station, 92.9 KJEE has been playing it at least a bit.

I dont listen to radio but I was talking with my friend a few months ago and she said she had heard The Only One on the radio a few times so I guess its getting played here  :smth023

A FEW MONTHS AGO and your friend had already heard "The Only One" on the radio a few times!? Somehow there's something in that sentence that just doesn't seem right...  :-D

2) Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl
3) Death Cab for Cutie - No Sunlight
4) The Airbourne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight
5) Flobots - Handlebars
6) Coldplay - Viva La Vida

Nothing from The Cure, but they are playing The Only One quite a bit.  Still haven't heard Freakshow.  Not that I mind  :P  With Sleep When I'm Dead being released this week, I'm going to get on the horn and start requesting it.
