Comments on: Idol Headlines for 5/26/08 http://mjsbigblog.com/american-idol.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:44:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Lu http://mjsbigblog.com/american-idol.htm/comment-page-1#comment-126395 Lu Tue, 27 May 2008 01:35:15 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/american-idol.htm#comment-126395 Elliott is most definitely played on radio disney. Wait for You made their countdown a few times a while back. He actually "took over'' radio disney one night not too long ago and was on with the dj for a few hours. And, as Daisy mentioned, he's on the new disneymania 6 cd. They seem to like him there. As hard as it is to listen to if an artist can get play on there, I see that as a good thing. Yes I know it's sad that I know these things but I have radio disney listeners in the house! Elliott is most definitely played on radio disney.

The Quick Cut Info had 0 for the number of spins on Radio Disney, but I checked some other artists and it's always 0. I wonder what Mediabase is up to with that. Maybe it's not being reported because RD isn't included in the roll-ups to the major charts like Hot 100 (Nielsen numbers are used for the BB charts, but Mediabase might be following the same model). I was really just trying to be helpful by suggesting other stations you might try your luck at if you didn't care for RD. In any event, I checked the Radio Disney Mediabase chart and the "Magic Rainbow" song is getting an amazing number of spins on that station, so keep listening to Miley and you may get your reward. For all you RD fans (and parents of fans), here are the top 10 songs on that station: 1. Rooney "When Did Your Heart" - 3825 spins 2. Taylor Swift "I'm Only Me When I..." - 3825 spins 3. Jordin Sparks "No Air"- 3825 spins 4. Miley Cyrus "7 Things" - 3723 spins 5. Camp Rock "We Rock" - 3723 spins 6. Vanessa Hudbens "Sneakermight" - 3723 spins 7. Natasha Bedingfield "Pocketful of Sunshine" - 3672 spins 8. Carrier Underwood "All-American Girl" - 3570 spins 9. Selena Gomez "Cruella De Vil" - 2865 spins (I was wondering why this one was suddenly on the Top 100 in iTunes) 10. Jonas Brothers "Play My Music" - 2550 spins 2 Idols in the Top 10 is pretty good. Miley/Hannah have 16 songs on the chart. Idols have 13 songs on the RD chart(and "Bad Day" still gets played there!)
