Take A Load Off

[letsburnholes]

94.5 The Buzz in Houston played it twice yesterday. Once at 9:50 PM and again at 4:00 AM in the morning. I have high hopes that the station will play this song a lot.

I think there will still be a chance beyond Take a Load Off.  I'd say Hickory Dichotomy could do well because it's so unique and such a depature for the band.  I also see some (not much) potential in Fast as I can, and First Kiss on Mars.  My gut tells me that this band will release Cinnamon, and that it would do ok, but it would damage the band's rock appeal.  If this band wants to sell records, it needs to make grungy Core/Purple music.  This is what they are known for by the masses (you know the type: they go to a concert and start singing the hook to Plush after the first verse when it doesn't come in until after the second. 

They need to pull a Nickleback and stick with what works.  This isn't what I want, but its what will sell.  This is my opinion.

AGreed, I dont think TALOs success is the make it or break it deal some are saying.  As long as they stick around for a bit a tour behind this album its could lead to good things

Uggh, my local station is now playing the new Bush, but has yet to play TALO. I just don't get it.  They are extremely old STP friendly, have been playing the hell out of new PJ, AIC, and other "grunge" era bands.

I am also of the agreement that this single doing well is very important for the future success. So I keep requesting it

Bush has a new song??

Just like with Shangri-La Dee Da after Hollywood Bitch flopped?

I don't think SLDD had much hit potential beyond Coma and Wonderful.  Could be wrong.

Or just like no.4 flopped after H&H was released ... oh yeah it didnt.

Problem with Shangri they released HB near the end of there run, they proabbly shouldve released WOnderful after that(which was I believe the plan) but by then it was basically all over.

I think Transmissions From A Lonely Room or Too Cool Queenie could have been hits.

Good news! According to the link posted earlier, STP and TALO have risen from 39 to 36. I am not sure if this updates daily or weekly. All I know is that today it sits at 36. Great to see!! It needs to keep it up!!

[DeadAndNotForSale]

I believe the music video will defiantly help the distribution of the single.

[kshamrock20]

After further inspection, it looks like this site updates daily. I am fascinated with this site. We can keep daily tabs on how each single is doing. It shows the stations who spin the song on that day and how many times they spin it. Fascinating!!

This thread makes me sad, and reminds me of the 90's where cd singles were a big thing.
 
STP always put out great singles, with cool extra tracks and cool artwork. They are still a big part of my STP collection. It's a shame. I can't add a sucky itunes download to my collection lol.

Hollywood Bitch and Too Cool Queenie had instant hit written all over them.

I understand the spirit of what you are saying, but dude... a radio single is what introduces the casual listener to a band's new offerings. Whether it's a broadcast radio or an internet push, a single is always going to be important. That doesn't have much to do with the 90's era of rock music.
