Totally agree, lurleene, his lack of radio play doesn't have anything to do with the quality of his music. The music that makes it to #1 is all over the place: good, bad, ugly. As you have said, the radio people play who they want to play, period. I guess they decide how strong the marketability of the singer is. If the singer has lots of fans, they will support any song that artist puts out. Period. Singers usually have one breakthrough song. That song gives them a fan base and the fans are loyal from there on, regardless of their next songs. The highest level singers have succeeded with this formula to the nth degree. Their music will always get played.
I think the radio peeps do pay attention to the song itself, too, but the singer and the power of their fan base really ensures a radio hit. Radio will play a lousy song sung by a major name singer. Happens all the time. Every hit song is not necessarily a good song. Adam has had a few pretty strong songs, but never a really huge mega-hit. Maybe his persona is just not average enough. Some top singers are real goofballs. But I guess being a goofball is pretty acceptable, too. It doesn't prevent them from getting hit songs. Lizzo whipping out her flute doesn't hurt her success at all.
The song is the key. Adam does have a recognizable presence. People know who he is. He has cred. His songs have to show that. I don't know the answer.

thank you for taking the time to do a recap for us, Animaldoc. I can't go to any concerts so those recaps are the closest thing to me being there.
