Like anyone really thinks that the recording labels don't do this. Even radio stations in a mini-metro like Kansas City can rake in $36-$50 million a year. Immagine what a radio station in a real city takes in? And the listening audience? I bet every label does it, Sony just got caught.

I guarantee that every label does it. It's shameful, but it happens. Anyone who thinks that the GARBAGE that makes the American Top 40 or the VH-1 Top 20 is really what America likes to listen to... is naive to the extreme.

Sadly, the sheeple who watch VH-1 actually start, after a while, to BELIEVE that the crap on there is good music... and to buy the albums... which is what the record companies WANT. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

No kidding!

They force it down our throats, just like Wheezers new song Beverly Hills. I listen to the Buzz (a New York or Vermont station) and they play that bloody crap 8 or 9 times a day!!! And it was never a decent song to begin with!!!
