The very simple answer to this question is that Adam does not want it released to radio. As he has said in recent interviews and with great clarity, this time he is in charge. One of the many things I learned by hanging here over the last 10 years is that “release to radio” costs mucho $s! I remember “at least a million” from a discussion several years ago...it could be several mil now, idk... in other words it’s not that easy... someone, usually a label, does the push and spends $s for the push... will Empire do it? May be they will for the next single... the one coming out “very soon”, I.e. in time for GMA... Then how does an new artist with no real connection get played. That sounds like bribery to me and also could make or break a career. Wish I knew exactly what the process was.

I may be totally, totally wrong, but I picked up the MM mention as subtle shade, classy as Adam usually is. It was mentioned in the context as someone imitating Freddie, and Adam making his usual statement that he doesn't want to imitate. That's just how it came across to me, YMMV. I had a similar response -- not so much "shade" as Adam saying he and MM are different. Nothing to compare here.

Unless I'm totally mistaken, the artist doesn't decide if a song gets played the radio. It's the program directors who decide, right? Each station has somebody who decides what will be played or not. I think Adam would love his songs to be played on the radio. Why wouldn't he? But singers can't just demand that their music be played. I don't know what "released to radio" means. If a song is released by the artist as a single, a radio station can choose to play it or not, right? Please explain this if I have it all wrong. And BTW, I am a committed Adam fan whether his music gets played on the radio or not. He fascinates me and makes me happy in a million ways. You have it right.
Yes, most music is programmed by Program Directors, Radio Consultants, and now by AI. And music stays on the radio based on ratings.
A radio station can play anything on the radio -- whether it is "released to radio" or not. The "released to radio" is an archaic concept based on sending radio stations physical copies of music. It actually now mean a track that is promoted to radio PDs of a specific format(s) for airplay.

The process to get on the radio in the US on Pop stations is: 1) Be a Star or had a well performing song in the last 6 months or a year 2) Blow up on Streaming Radio is the end game, and yes it can push songs higher, but it is no longer the appetizer.

I understand there is a lot involved (money) in getting music on the radio. If a major label is really in your corner, they can put up the money and get it done. If radio wants to play certain artists a lot they will. And all of them are not big stars. Would love to see him get some play on stations other than just pop, which would be less expensive. But the frustration for me is to hear some fans, for years, saying Adam's music is lacking something, so tepid or no radio play makes sense. If only he released the right type of song, with the right hook, he would get big radio play like the others, some have said. His song is not radio friendly (whatever that means) is another one. It sounds as if Adam is just putting out s**t music (that would only appeal to his fans) and that is why nothing is good enough to get played. His ballads are never worthy. But most of his other songs are not either. I mean, he has put out so many songs since TOH and none of them were played. Some fans are just happy to hear another song out there. Others, like me, want to see the music heard so that someone other than fans know he has a song out. I know with and indie label, it is going to be even harder now. But we are hearing the exact same excuses, we heard when he was on a major, as to why his music does not get played. It does not fit what is on the radio, even tho the radio plays different types/styles of music all the time. I will support him as always and I'm glad he is happy with the way things are going. But I am not convinced that he can put up enough streaming numbers alone to make a big difference. But he and his team have a release plan so I hope it meets their expectations and keeps Adam pleased with the results.

Perhaps there is a different definition of "ballad" but mid-tempo ballads are Adam's musical power lane -- MW (Idol version), WWFM, etc.I trust Adam and his team to get this right. In the meantime, I am looking forward to the next track. I am not talking about mid tempo songs like Sleepwalker or WWFM. Those I do not consider ballads.

It actually sounded like a review from a LEGO-fan, who doesn’t know anything about Playmobil and isn’t interested in it either. I‘m curious about the reviews from the European and even more from our German press. Every child here knows Playmobil and grew up with it. (As well as LEGO-there has always been a kind of rivalry, that now extends to the bid screen.) The second review is a bit better: it says, that kids won‘t get bored. www.screendaily.com/reviews/playmobil-the-movie-annecy-review/5140284.articleI do not expect the American reviews for Playmobil Movie to be great because there is really no emotional attachment to Playmobil here. North America is Lego country. And for the "toy movies" they rely on some emotional connection to the toy brand and experience.
So why use American actors? (at least some Americans). To raise awareness of the toys? There are English speaking countries that like Playmobil and they won't have to dub over? One of the reviews said they didn't like the dub over on the villain (I'm assuming that could be Maximus)
