New Music on Boston radio

I was in Italy recently. This song by Alborosie was huge over there:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M05PUtJfSxI

Did I hear it on Boston radio? Thankfully yes, on BIG CITY ONE- OH- ONE POINT TREE! Thank goodness one station on the Boston radio dial isn't scared to play new music.

Oh, and Alborosie, he's Italian. Big City doesn't care about the color of artists on its playlist if the groove is right.
 
It's not a new song as it was added to youtube a year ago.

And it doesn't really fit any local formats besides Rockers on WERS.

And it's pretty average to be blunt. It may be big there cause it's something they don't have a lot of, but there are hundreds of more exciting reggae artists out there.

Actually the Europeans are probably more in tune with reggae than we are. England alone has a huge Caribbean population, France too. Alborosie is signficant because he's one of the first Italians.

Also, Alborosie is new music...to Americans.

...and David Hasselhoff is HUGE in Gremany...and I don't hear his music on Boston radio. So, what's your point??

I didn't know you were a fan of David Hasselhoff. Not that there's anything wrong with that. To each his own.

I'm not. Just citing other artists who are huge overseas that aren't being played on Boston radio...so, what was your original point about a song that was huge in Italy only being played on an illegal in Boston?? What happens if they played a song that was huge in Italy that you didn't like?? Would you start a thread about that?
