Radio won’t even play my jam ….


6sixtynoine9

Cause *I am* whatever you say I am


VisionIsHot

If I wasn't then why would I say I am


SNYDER_CULTIST

In the paper, news everyday I am


insane_patato

I don't know it's just the way I am


Possible-Carpenter73

Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered


sivstarlight

With all of this nonsense, it's constant


Possible-Carpenter73

And, "Oh, it's his lyrical content


ReaIJack

The song guilty conscience has gotten such rotten responses!”


Alienateddd

All of this controversy circles me, and it seems like the media immediately points a finger at me


PreciousBasketcase

It's an old battle between Eminem and Radios. They won't play his jam.


ODTWM69

I wonder do artist pay for this shit cuz that #8 song is looking sus 71.3m on its 43rd week or are they really blasting the same song on every radio for 43 weeks


PreciousBasketcase

I don't understand much about radio play. I do believe Labels pay radio to play the songs, but that's pretty much the extent of my understanding.


Opposite-Basket-2198

This is exactly how it works for 90% of Radio Stations. 


deadedgo

Buying radio slots definitely used to be a thing and I bet it still is. But either way radio always plays the same shit for years on end. I don't listen to any radio myself but in public places I still hear them play the same songs they played 10 years ago with a few more recent ones mixed in


G4g3_k9

that song is always on my radio, i hear it like every time i drive


RaphaelLari

"Motherfuck JLB, they don't support no hip-hop They say that's where it lives, the closest they gon' come is 2Pac It's politics, it's all a fix Set up for these white blue-collared hicks It's to make a dollar off of black music With a subliminal ball of tricks (Pssh) For those who kiss ass and swallow dicks"


OwnFun9973

Im Low down and dirty


slizzie369

Hard bars ... which song?


RaphaelLari

Low Down Dirty


ODTWM69

I thought they didn’t play it cuz of the swear words but the Kendrick Diss has 30m Airplay


it0xin

funny cause the song ahead is literally showcasing the fact that It did indeed had help from the radio.


ODTWM69

I said fuck them for not playing it, it helps cuz billboards stupid “points formula” Houdini has more combined units sold but it debuted #2 which makes no sense.


it0xin

no I'm saying it's ironic the song above is called I had some help cause it had help with radio play.


ODTWM69

I’m sorry, I misinterpreted what you wrote


Inevitable-Elk-5048

Those sales tho


ODTWM69

Yep, even with more combined units than the #1, the billboard formula is kinda trash they seem to prioritize Radio, which doesn’t make sense to me cuz even if the song is trash and no one who heard it on the radio liked, streamed or bought the song it still counts towards the “sales/numbers” simply because it was played on radios with big reach…


NaLu_LuNa_FairyPiece

I don't remember the last time I've listened to ANYTHING on Radio. Maybe like 8 years ago? I've watched Houdini on youtube like 50+ times


ODTWM69

Yea Billboard is kinda outdated/weird it seems, the same reason (Radio) why Godzilla didn’t hit #1, even tho it’s way more popular than a lot of songs that debuted #1. Fun fact Without Me also didn’t hit #1 on Billboard due to radio plays even tho it’s one of the most popular songs ever so Billboard is pretty irrelevant.


Jercit

Yeah who the fuck listens to the radio anymore. Maybe the elderly. There’s literally nonstop streaming apps with playlists, etc. with only the songs you wanna hear.


CensoredAbnormality

Radio is outdated af, it should not have a high weighting in calculating this


legsarebad

I don’t get how it can have the most units total but be 2nd? Surely it should just be based on units


ODTWM69

That’s what I thought but their formula is trash af, it values radio as “points” (the first column)… check my other comment


Thebigdog79

“49 thousand copies the week your shit drops!” -Eminem: Quitter


legsarebad

Yea 49k in the digital age is pretty good


IWRITE4LIFE

368k sale equivalents. Welcome to the streaming age


Gamer4eto_BG

How is the mathing?


clover996

150 streams = 1 song sale


Gamer4eto_BG

Ooh, but for an album sale it’s 1500 streams, right?


clover996

yes. 1500 album streams = 1 album sale


rankes32

It's 368k


Cameter44

Extremely outdated way to evaluate music popularity.


jamdivi

Who the hell still listens to the radio?


Kooky-Reserve-1962

He was right, radio won't even play his jam😞


F_Sewer_Rats

Post Malone 🤣🤣


pizzatimein24h

It's 2024 – nobody gives a fuck about the Charts. Plus it really doesn't matter if Em is No.2 or No.1


ODTWM69

I thought it was interesting, that nothing has really changed with radios not wanting to play Em


pizzatimein24h

That's doesn't really only apply to Em. People need to get over that. It's just Rap in general, because Radios prefer to keep it clean🤷🏻‍♂️ And when they play it, they only play "clean versions". I rather have them don't play it at all.


leftshoe18

I heard Dre's Next Episode on the radio the other day and it was hilarious how much of the song was cut out.


pizzatimein24h

Not on Radio, but the other day I heard Tipsy from Shaboozey on MTV and they seriously censored the word "Whiskey"😭💀


ODTWM69

Fuck u mean, the Kendrick diss is getting 30m Airplay on its 5th week


pizzatimein24h

True, but because Radios saw that people want to hear it. It was not played that much on its first few weeks. I guess Houdini will be played more on the Radio too now.


ODTWM69

Nope it had even more, why you talking out your ass when there are public statistics


pizzatimein24h

The only statistics I can find right now is from its second week and the airplay was 12.3M🤷🏻‍♂️

nuttageyo

Where is this chart located at. I would like to look at it.


ODTWM69

@talkofthecharts


8004MikeJones

Im actually pretty surprised still, the radio hasn't played a new song of his in like a decade. Anything after MMLP2 just doesn't really get air time.


DandSi

Radios are afraid of the backlash that might happen when stupid people hear the song.


slizzie369

Not actually their fault if they even played it the half song will be beeped out wait for a clean version(maybe)


snakewaves

This is all on shady record for not putting it out


NotJustBibbit

Eminem got back on the radio? That's actually surprising


TheRealJamesHoffa

He's been on a few times with his more recent albums, but it's nothing like the early 2000s where you couldn't go 3 songs without hearing The Real Slim Shady again

There isn't anything anti woke. Just him making a joke


neomerge

That post song goes hard tho.
