GUNS N' ROSES's 'Chinese Democracy' Single Is A Radio Smash

[Wooody]

You guys are lucky, they only played the song once here in fuckin' Belgium.  When the first Metallica and AC/DC single was released these were played constantly on Studio Brussels.

what's the frequency for studio brussel ?
how can you request a song in there?
and is it flemish only or french too ? cause I don't speak flemish butI used to listen to studio brussel when I still thought the radio wasn't something from the middle ages

The problem with countries besides the US is that most dj's have no idea the album is coming out and the ones that have heard something don't believe it till they see it.

More or less the same problem here in Poland, unfortunatelly

These people should have learned about it from the Greek subsidiary of Universal music and not the internet.

Cause they've read so many times crap about it on the internet that they won't believe it anymore, as they didn't when I told them.

It is Universal's job to make it official, like they did in the UK with the full page advert...

I tried to call the lady responsible for Guns at Universal Music Poland on Friday early afternoon and she was out of her office. They told me to call back on Monday!!!  Yeah, they work hard on the promotion 

Also Universal Music Poland didn't give on time official single to the stations. That's why they can strat play it just on Monday morning:

Polish radio promo about ChD single on Monday

I don't know what's up, but I guess the reaction has not been the same on KSHE 95 in St. Louis.  They played the song 3 times the evening of the 22nd, and haven't played it since.  I haven't gotten through to their request line yet, but I want to hear from them what the reason is it hasn't been back on.  There's only one other station in town (105.7 KPNT) that would play it that I know of, and I heard it on there once the morning of the 22nd, but they don't have a listing of all the songs they play online like KSHE does . . .

I noticed the exact same thing.  Plus all of the d.j.s comment on how "we waited 15 years for this?"  But I am glad that it is getting airplay in other parts of the country.

I'm still hearing it daily on a rock station here in vegas and I only listen when i'm in my car.

[Billo]

Lets Keep requesting this and get this in the top 10 
I wish i could here this on the radio in Australia.

[Ak1nney]

I requested it in Indiana 4 times and didnt get anything. It might have not helped that the fourth time I used an asian accent and requested Chinese Democracy.

[slash1213]

They are not playing it that much in 93rock.com in south Florida.. The fist day, every hour .. But now maybe once or twice per day... I ve called and emailed.. let's see if it does something... 

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Yesterday, I heard the ending on KROQ, and today I heard the WHOLE thing.

I can't wait to see the chart published on Tuesday.   

[GnR-NOW]

It's getting no love in Maryland at all.  Metallica is getting the hell played out of their new song, which sounds like every other Metallica song.   No LOVE for GNR = perfect advertisement to get Sirius.

[Albert S Miller]

I'm Seattle bound and I have heard the new song every single time I get in the car,they are also playing the heck out of previous catalogue. KISW 99.9

Same here in Western Australia.  One fucking play and the DJ is not interested in playing it again.

[SINSHINE]

Heard it this morning on K-Rock in NY (92.3)...probably the 4th time I've heard it on the radio since it's release...although, I only listen to the radio when I'm in the truck and since I work from home, that's not too often.

So nice to hear some 'new' GN'R on the radio! 

[Annie]

Ever since Chinese Democracy single was released, at least one doctor interrupts rounds to ask me if I was happy about Chinese Democracy! I think that's cool that we are discussing critically ill children and people appreciate my love of GNR that much!

[Perfect Criminal]

683 plays the first day...does anyone know what the number has been for each subsequent day?  I'm guessing a huge drop off.  This song is just not bowling people over.  Sure we love it, but the genral public doesn't think it's anything special.  I would guess the raidio play is now below 200 a day and I don't see it going up.  Just saying.

[XxWickeds10xX]

Ive heard it plenty of times on the radio here in NYC. Friends of mine who arent into GnR have heard it, so its definatley out there. Radio and sattelite are playing the tune, ,to good reviews also!!
