Not sure if this means anything or why but storms Warren said fall apart will be playing on x m serious radio soon.it seems casey confirmed it. Apparently it will be an exclusive for X m for awhile. This is all so weird.

I Hope this is true. I think he needs to build momentum and SXM can help him do it. They have been pretty supportive of Casey in the past (except TGL). They are already spinning FGL's song that isn't at radio yet. So I don't think its all that odd. I bet they get it for a couple of weeks then it goes for adds. I hope it drops by Mid-October.

Is this a mediabase station. I have heard a few artists have gotten play on it and they ended up on a major label because of the momemtum.

No satellite radio stations like SXM The Highway do not count towards spins, etc. They are not reporting stations. However, The Highway has a LOT of listeners. They are so far out in front of the actual reporting stations that I am actually over new songs by the time they start getting decent rotation at regular radio stations. For me personally, I only listen to the Highway. I don't listen to the local stations.
The Highway, IMO, is almost soley responsible for launching the career of Cole Swindell. Now he has a record deal and is tracking #1 today on the Billboard Chart with his 2nd single. I think they are very impactful even though their spins don't count. Pre-spinning the single I think will not only get buzz going for Casey, but help with his single sales.

If I remember right they actually played Florida Georgia line before they had the record deal and they were selling so well big machine signed them. I just don't want this to be a test case for Columbia where they don't think it is selling so they don't release it to radio.

I doubt it. They are releasing it. The Highway spins almost every single before it hits radio. These singles hit the desk of programmers 1-2 weeks before their drop date. Radio doesn't play them until close to the add date unless its a big time A-lister. That is where The Highway can be really helpful. They play the less popular/known artists right away when they hit their desk if they like them. It's kind of their claim to fame.
Obviously they like Casey and his single since they have already announced they will be playing it soon.
all that being said, there's no doubt they launched the careers of Cole Swindell, FGL. Chase Rice and so on. For example, Dean Alexander finally hit the chart at #50 on MB with "Live a Little". I think I heard that 6 months ago on The Highway.

That's why I think it is possible this won't go to regular radio until the first of the year. As long as I can buy it at iTunes I will be happy. It really can be a benefit if it is being played on xml and selling well radio will eat that up when the add date comes.

I think they go for it in October. ((((Hopes)))) Next year is another 2.5 months away. I just keep hearing "soon" everywhere. Casey, Storme, Debra....
If they DO wait til next year, ironically, it will be exactly 2 years since he debuted the "old/new music" in Denver. (WT, BTTB, Runaway, etc...)

The only problem I have with this is casey doesn't need launched as a new artist. Soon could of just meant xm playing it.

I get that but I am trying to not only say they launch NEW artists, but also get buzz going for other artists by playing their music early. For instance, I alreadyheard them play Dierks new single "Say you do". Adds date is 10/6. Same goes for Katie Armiger. I think its a good thing, not a negative.

Some fans are really starting to get angry. Some of them don't understand how the music business works. They would be happy if they had a CD in their hand and it wouldn't matter to them if he failed. Michelle I really like your tweets putting some of the blame on casey.

Michelle I really like your tweets putting some of the blame on casey. I'm trying to educate myself on radio so I can try to understand what's happening. By doing that I realized he wasn't on the ball. I hope he can bounce back.
