Party 105 should add Webbie_independant

It is really testing well, so I dont see why party hasnt added it yet. I like how Party is heavy on Dance right now, but I like a less shallow playlist with lots more Dance, but also lots more Newer Hip Hop. .... Please dont flame me for this, but I think party would pick up more listeners by expanding their Hip Hop product, as well as expand the Dance playlist slightly..... BTW, Party and Pulse are still a close run for my Fav Dance stations in the US..... And of course all the school stations are a close second.

Actually, Party's playlist is pretty expansive with hip-hop already...definitely in comparison to last year at this time.

"Independent" is my favorite Hip Hop tune at the moment. I love that heavy bass that kicks in throughout the song!

Ya know what, Speaking of Pitbull's Anthem.... I happen to like that song, but almost nobody I know can stand that song. Everyone says he ripped off Calabria, but what they dont know is both songs sample a classic. I know Dance Fans that absolutely cant stand Pitbull's Anthem, and I know Hip Hop heads that also cant stand the song. I guess The Anthem is not testing well here, no one is playing it, yet they spun ENUR-Calabria a few times, but still very moderate rotation compared to other markets that embraced it on Rhythmic and Mainstream.

Its weird that September's Cry for you did very well here, and my local WBWB B-97 has already started playing September's Cant get over, but only about 10 spins a week, mostly at night, but thats how Cry for you started out, and it blew up to number two on the WBWB Airplay chart.

This just goes to show you that some Dance songs will do fine in some markets, while other markets may do better with a different Dance song. Its all about knowing what your listener's want.
