How to get USA radio airplay

You write what you think is a hit. So now what do you do?

You go online and look for radio promotion companies. You think it’s simple – if you can get it out to radio they will know your song is a hit and it will be played and will chart. Wrong!

Getting airplay differs all over the world. Lets take the US, for example, everyone no matter where you live, wants US airplay.

Clear Channels entered into revenue sharing agreements with numerous record labels. Clear Channels is even called a “Media Mobster”.
You are an Independent artist, why do you think you are going to be played by the United States largest radio conglomerate? You may have a hit, a great song. But this is a money game, like most big business controlled by giants, so only giants have access.

If you want to get a hit in the US you will have to play the game. Meaning you better have some very deep pockets to play in this high stakes game. You will need to hire a team of promoters to maneuver your song into the charts. This team will need to be in a position to grease the airplay wheels to get your song played. Call it payola, call it big business, call it what you want. But the bottom line is unless you have a million dollars to drop into your single you are not going to get a hit record in the US.

So where does that leave you and your “hit” song? There are a lot of countries in the world. Most are very receptive to hearing and playing good music. The BBC radio network is the largest radio network in the world.
Guess what? They listen to independent artists music and if they like it they play it. There are numerous other radio networks and stations around the world that don’t care who the label is and don’t care if you are an indie artist. The only thing they care about is it good music. So, there is hope.

It is a digital world so why would anyone send a cd to radio? There are radio promotion companies that advertise – pay us and we will put your music on our site. The premise is that radio will sign in and wade thru the thousands of songs and find yours. Wrong again. You need to deliver your song by a respected radio promoter digitally to the radio station programmers. This way they can stream a piece of your music and if they like it then they will look at the rest of your submission, download it and play your music.

How to get radio airplay in the US?

There is always a way to get in the US front door , sometimes you need to go in the back door to be in the house.

Adrianna Freeman,rising country star, climbs the charts on cashbox with promotions by Musik Radio

Cashbox Magazine Music Charts, has been reporting Adrianna Freeman’s song, “Either You Do or You Don’t” for months. The week of May 17, 2013 is no different as she charts at #3 along with country greats such as Ashley Monroe, Tim McGraw and Martina McBride.

Adrianna’s career as a country artist had stalled after being chosen as one of 12 artists with Teddy Gentry’s Cracker Barrel Contest for “Best New Nashville”. Adrianna’s bio states, “In accordance with the Best New Nashville album’s May of 2011 release, a national competition was launched, where fans were asked to vote for their favorite artist. The facilitators’ of the contest told Adrianna that she won the competition by a landslide. Even after winning the contest and Mr. Gentry’s star-power, Adrianna was still being told that there was no “market” for her music”.

Finally in the summer of 2012, after being introduced by Cathy Lemmon of Nashville’s ADN, Adrianna met with Stephen Wrench, President of Musik and Film. and he was blown away by Adrianna’s voice. Adrianna signed with Musik and Film Records and a global radio campaign was began by Musik Radio Promotions.

In Oct. 2012, Adrianna received accolades from Brian Clough, CMA International Broadcaster of the Year 2009, after receiving her DPK from Musik Radio Promotions. Clough wrote, “Sheer class… an eclectic mix of light and shade of mid tempo and gentle songs which shows off her vocal range and quality, sometimes smokey and gentle, but always meaningful and believable.” Clough’s glowing review of Freeman catapulted her debut album, Either You Do or You Don’t‘ ,to quickly gain traction in the BBC network.

Adrianna is now charting on too many charts to list, but is being played on 60,000+ stations all over the globe. Her “market” is the world. Because of the massive amount of airplay, Adrianna received due to the strategy of Musik Radio Promotions, Adrianna has now caught the attention of some of those in Nashville, and is now recording a new album.

Adrianna recently stated, “Stephen I just want to thank you and Rhonda-I have worked for 11 years, playing second fiddle to everyone else. Being looked over and passed over for other artists. It feels so good to be with people who believe in me and my music. For so long I felt like it was just me, my family, a notebook , and some songs. I have been promised so many things by so many people in the music industry that I thought I would never be able to trust anyone else in this business again. BUT- I trust you and Ms. Rhonda! I am so thankful that God lead my family to you, I really can’t thank you guys enough for helping to renew my faith in this business once again. With God’s help- I am starting to really believe that we can go all the way!!!!”

Adrianna Freeman is on her way!

The Lie About Radio Airplay

May 17, 2013

You read articles that give “the truth”– that say Indie Artist can’t get airplay, Right? — WRONG!

It’s a BIG world out there!

Musik Radio Promotions has charted artists in the top 10 in many charts around the world. Just check out the Wall of Success!

Indie Artists are playing on thousands of stations – some on TENS of thousands.

How, you ask?

Radio outside of the US works differently. The rest of the world for the most part does not have a top 40 that they play over and over. They have what they call “Radio Presenters” . These presenters each develop their own play lists based on what the audience wants to hear. And most stations outside the US are not one specific genre. Most stations play a variety of music and have shows that feature 2 to 4 hours of rock, then pop, then country and every other genre.

Musik Radio Promotions has over 250,000 radio stations in every genre in 80 countries. We literally have just about every radio station in the US, UK, Australasia, Ireland, Scotland, and thousands of stations in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. 98% of our stations are FM stations. We cover most Billboard, Cashbox and many other reporting stations and charts around the world. We promote to most major networks including ECMA, BBC, Sirius, I-Heart and many others.

So, who is Musik Radio Promotions?

Musicians. Musicians that have toured the world extensively as members of internationally recognized artists.

We realized radio in the US is controlled by major labels known as “Gatekeepers”, meaning Major US radio corporations that positioned themselves as the “Gatekeepers” . They control almost 75% of the US radio market. This left 25% of possible stations within the US that would consider playing an Indie artist’s music. It’s a big world out there and we found out if you can get enough airplay outside of the US, it follows that the US market is then forced to listen and be receptive to playing your music.

How are we doing it differently?

Musik Radio Promotions has developed a program that will deliver a high quality DPK to radio PDs. The DPK includes the artist’s promo picture, press quotes, web and social links, bios and music. We send the individual DPK to radio programmers all over the world. We do not “blast” and have developed a credible reputation in this industry.

Are we successful?

It’s easy to find out. How many other sites do you see posting artists names listing pick-ups by the BBC, ECMA and thousands of stations around the world. Check out the Testimonial Page.

Benefits?

Collect 100% of airplay royalties around the world. A plus-outside the US, royalties are considerably higher.
Touring, it is impossible to successfully tour unless people know who you are. Use the radio airplay and charts to successfully tour any geographical area.

Costs?

We design packages for the artist based on a single or multiple tracks.

How does an artist get started?

Experience has proved to the team at Musik Radio Promotions what radio will play and will not play. Production of the track is “key”.

Submit your track for review to our team of seasoned producers.

We want your music – heard AND played.

Carol Strickland single, ‘Bitterness and Pain’, feeling no pain with Musik Radio Promotions

Carol Strickland is feeling no pain these days, as his single, ‘Bitterness and Pain’, is being heard on thousands of stations worldwide.

After signing a record and promotions deal with Musik and Film a few short months ago, ‘Pouring Rain’, Carol’s EP was released for distribution. Musik Radio Promotions began a campaign for the single, ‘Bitterness and Pain’, and immediately captured the attention of radio station managers across the globe including the BBC network and ECMA reporting stations.

Stephen Wrench says of Carol, “he writes with honesty and sings with emotion. Carol draws you in as he tells his stories in song”.

” Without any pretentiousness, Carol Strickland is true to his craft and easily demonstrates his compassion for each lyric, whether it concerns an abusive father in “Bitterness and Pain”, a love on the verge of being lost as in “Pouring Rain,” or an anthem of encouragement to givers in “Help Your Fellow Man. His “Good Intentions” project is a wonderful collection of a man who feels deeply for life, sings from the soul,and reminds all of us of our frailties and faith. It is his portrayal of faith and understanding of the struggle often to maintain it that sets Carol Strickland aside from other tune smiths.” Wayne Morton Operations Manager (Ret.)96.3 WGOG

Carol states, “After years of struggling to make it to the Country Radio airways and jacklegg promotion companies taking advantage of what money I had to spend. GOD brought me MUSIK AND FILM and I am more than satisfied. STEPHEN and Rhonda have truly brought this dream of mine to life. Being picked up by the BBC AND THE ECMA. Having more spins in 48 hours than I’ve had my entire music career.

And Carol can look forward to many more “spins” to come!

Press Release

King Errisson & Wolf Entertainment Find a New Throne with Musik Radio Promotions

Rhonda

April 18, 2013

Hellmut Wolf, of Wolf Entertainment and Musik Radio Promotions have partnered to provide Wolf’s artists with access to the global market of radio airplay.

King Errisson,signed to Wolf Entertainment, and his new single, “In My Secret Life“, is set to be promoted to Musik Radio’s massive network of radio stations around the world!

Referring to King Errisson as Mr. Kool or the King of Kool is more than fitting due to his slick ‘n’ smooth vocal delivery. The voice reminds one of the likes of say a Barry White or Isaac Hayes (RIP to both) just due to that coolness factor displayed vocally. The buck doesn’t stop at singing though for King by no means because actually Errisson’s claim to fame is that he is a world-class percussionist/conga player. King has even been a part of Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Neil Diamond’s touring band since 1976. Mr. Diamond even went so far as to call King Errisson “the best percussionist in the world”. BIG words from a BIG-TIME musician but it doesn’t end there.

King has been surrounded by music royalty throughout his entire career working with some real heavy hitters in the music biz like: Ringo Starr, Blood Sweat & Tears, Barry White, The Carpenters, Lou Rawls, Johnny Mathis, Barbra Streisand, Bobby Darin, David Cassidy and many others. Quincy Jones himself once said: “All I can say is that if you’re talking about musicians with a fantastic sense of time and dynamics, then you have to put King’s name at the top of the conversation. Welcome to the King’s Kingdom, it is a sound you’ll be glad you found.” Furthermore, Errisson has been dubbed the “unsung hero of Motown” by authors Ray Singleton & the one-and-only Berry Gordy in their books due to King’s work with some of Motown’s finest such as: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, Diana Ross and many others. It’s not all song & dance for King Kool as he has also tried his hand at acting. King has appeared in several movies like: “Uptown Saturday Night” with Bill Cosby & Sidney Poitier, “Rollerball” starring Sean Connery and the 1980 remake of “The Jazz Singer” with Neil Diamond.

King Errisson’s Caribbean roots come to play in his featured release “In My Secret Life” that blends together a sunny island vibe with light ‘n’ airy jazz. The new track is sure to be a success as it hits airwaves all over the globe!

Watch for King Errisson to be appearing soon on the Musik Radio Wall of Success.
