Unfortunately, this isn't something that can be forced. Most artists who hit big do so due to pure dumb luck. Right place at the right time, and all that. And honestly, the harder you push, the harder radio will dig its feet into the dirt. It is frustrating, but it's just the way things are. The best thing would be exposure. Well, duh, but I mean through other routes. Commercials, television shows, movies, etc. Hell, look at that "Da da da" song. It blew up specifically because of a commercial. If its well done, a commercial can definitely impact a songs popularity. It's just getting companies to use the songs. This is why the PLL episode is such an important thing. I agree with you. I want more stuff like PLL. However, by now it seems to me that Cuckoo fits PLL better and it has more exposure. I want Trespassing music video has kicka$$ choreo. I heard he sang both Cuckoo AND Trespassing on PLL... Or maybe I dreamed it... ??? |

How do you request songs? Phone calls? Which radio stations did you try? Last era, I phoned Rock FM (Cadena Code), Cadena Ser, ABC Punto Radio, Europa FM and some others which are very local. I did not find how to request online. Will check this time around. I saw that Cadena 100 admits requests on the night show, "Las 100 y Una Noches". Maybe we could start there? |

Good grief - in the time it took for me to post, a bunch of folks said something similar!

Do we know when the next SNL "request" day is?
Is there a way to find out? I feel that the day it was announced we (as in fandom) did not make a concentrated effort...may be I am wrong but I watched the feed and it was not there...
I hope next time, which should be soon (for October) it is crucial to spam SNL with requests. At the very least it'll make us feel we tried to do something...

I don't think we should spam them, actually. I may be wrong, but maybe it would put them off a little? :-/ |

I heard he sang both Cuckoo AND Trespassing on PLL... Or maybe I dreamed it... ??? yeah, he sang both songs. But the trailer only has Cuckoo. The setting of the story is also on a crazy train, and it's about a crazy party. Cuckoo fits PLL like a glove. I don't know in what context Trespassing is in, if viewers will talk more about Cuckoo or Trespassing after watching the movie. |

But maybe they accept phone calls too, and that would be more effective. Let's think about it. We should try when the single is officially out.  It may work to dedicate it to someone, like: "I would like for you to play this song for my friend Dyg; it's her birthday", or whatever. lol I've listened to that radio show before (Cadena 100 is the only radio I listen to often), but I wanna listen to it again to see how it works. I'll tune in tonight. |
