TMG Radio Airplay

Hope you guys are having a fantastic Wednesday!

The recent success at Tate Music Group, with a few of our artists like Jeff Chandler and his top 10 single "I Know You're There" and the number one hits that Regie Hamm has had over the course of the last few years, has sparked more and more questions on how "I", the artist, get more radio airplay.

Here's a little insight from our radio research consultant, Brandon Rahbar, about how it's all about that "hook" to catch the attention of, not only the radio researchers out there, but the potential audience that will be listening to this song. Absolutely subscribe to his blog to read all the little tips from the inside of the radio research side of your project. And, maybe you're not a TMG artist but you want to know how to succeed like so many of the Tate Music Group artists, selling product and getting radio airplay AND doing it successfully... give us a call at 888-361-9473! We'd love to explain how and why our artists are as successful as they are.

Here's Brandon's blog on the "hook":

"One of the main questions and comments I'm getting from TMG artists is about my listening to their music and hoping that something in it hooks me.

Well, after listening to new TMG releases for the past couple of months, I've heard a lot of very good artists. I've heard artists with a bunch of potential. I've made recommendations for certain songs that should be pushed to radio. And I've advised some artists on which songs I feel are their strongest and maybe some things they can work on. It's a fun process. I love listening to your work and helping in any way I can. Picking the hits, that's always been one of my favorite things to do.

Anyways, in the midst of listening to many TMG artists, I found an artist that was absolutely dynamite. Thirty seconds into the first song, he had my attention. I was hooked. I listened to his next song, same thing. After the third song, I knew this guy had the goods. I advised TMG that this artist was big-time and that I'd like to do something more with him. He's a top shelf talent and I want to do more to help.

I just wanted to blog about this to show you guys that I'm taking this stuff seriously. If I run across something that I just think is absolutely dynamite and it blows my socks off, I'm gonna alert TMG to it and let them know that we have something special in the works. Could that be you? We'll see... I'll be listening!"
