The internet is too cluttered.
Radio and even the digital initiatives their supporting streamline all of that. Which is honestly what most people want.
Not everyone is going to listen to everything posted on Nahright, UHTN etc.
Passionate music lovers like the internet for it's variety. The casual listener, which is probably like 80+% of the US population would rather be spoonfed.
Which is why radio is still very much alive. And honestly still where a large amount of the population discovers new music. When the new Katy drops, it drops on Seacrest etc.
But they are adjusting. Clear Channel is obviously pushing iHeart Radio as a brand for a reason. CBS is doing the same with radio.com.
The internet doesn't give you what's hot.
Clubs and the streets do.
Clubs and the internet are totally different.
The internet will tell you Vic Mensa is hot. Go to a club or the streets and ask how many have heard of him.
The only times I've really seen otherwise recently was with Jay Elec, Currency, Kendrick and Wiz, because they came out as more underground artist and it spread backwards and gained a national following
In my world, Boosie isn't hot...the streets, he is.
People don't separate their personal taste from what actually is.
Yea podcast ain't the ave for new music
Who listens to podcasts to find out new music?
Podcasts are for talk radio. Joe Rogan Podcast, DVDASA, etc.
Yeah Combat Jack isn't playing new songs
Thank you.
