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!

where can i find the latest singles before theyre playen on the radio?

singles as in songs

Why a lot of people only listen to “Hit Songs” or Singles from an album?

Actually there are many more nice songs in the album which are not singles, but it is never popular..
Raqhim: No way, the radios play a lot of old singles that are already popular a year ago here. and then it became a hit song here. I don’t hear some heavy stuff on the radio too. And the censorship, “I kissed __ __” OMG…
