How long before a record is released are its singles played on the radio?

November 12th, 2009
Ive got a question . . . asked:


A good friend of mine is the drummer in a band that signed with Capital Records a few months ago. They’re in the studio now, and their CD will be available in April assuming all goes as planned.

How long before the cd is available should I expect to hear their stuff on the radio, assuming they’re as good as Capital thinks?

A few weeks? a month? any idea?

Thanks!
