"Angel" by Aerosmith

Back in January this year, I was listening to KMGL and around 5-6PM that Friday evening after their "Awesome 80s Weekend" had started at 3PM, KMGL played "Angel" by Aerosmith for their Awesome 80s Weekend and I really enjoyed listening to that song. Although KMGL haven't or probably didn't add that song to their regular playlist, but I wish they really did. KMGL did played Aerosmith's "Crazy" and "Cryin'" a little bit for quite some times, but not regularly. I believed "Angel" would fit the AC format very well. I know it's a little too upbeat for the AC format, but I think it would really sound good on AC's. I also think "Crazy" and "Cryin'" would really sound good on AC's as well.

Hot AC's never played Aerosmith's "Angel" in the past 6-12 years. All Hot AC's played is "Crazy", "Cryin'", and "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith back in 2009-10. Most Aerosmith's songs (including their 70s, 80s, and 90s songs) are played on Adult Hits anyways.

I know many AC's out there have already started playing upbeat 80s songs by Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, The Outfield, and Journey's (upbeat songs), but why not some Aerosmith's (upbeat songs) besides "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"? Any Thoughts?

If the songs test well for a 40 year old female, then play it. I would think a song like Angel would in 2012

My local full-serve AC station plays it, but then they're a small town station with a wide playlist encompassing everything from Celine Dion to Blue October. I'm not an Aerosmith fan but "Angel" is probably my favorite of theirs, and I'd much rather hear that one than "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" for the fiftieth time per day.

I would say if a 25-54 female likes the song, then why not?

I've been streaming WLMG/New Orleans. I like how they play everything from Tonic's "If You Could Only See", Dishwalla's "Counting Blue Cars", and Gin Blossoms' "Follow You Down" to Vanessa Williams' "Save The Best For Last" and Celine Dion's "The Power Of Love". It works to mix upbeat 90s music together with soft 90s music.
