ROCK NATIONAL AIRPLAY

ACTIVE ROCK NATIONAL AIRPLAY
15         GUNS N' ROSES     Chinese Democracy

VERY IMPRESSIVE! I am surprised there is not very much buzz around the forums, about how well Chinese is doing.

Hopefully the song will go higher than #5 on Mainstream Rock.  It was at that point yesterday, too.  It did move up a couple of slots on the Active list though.

my bro said Chris Moyles played it today on Radio 1

Wow! My first post on HTGTH. I've used this site to find out the latest GnR news since about 2000 so its nice to finally contribute at this fantastic time. Always used another site to post my views but am sick of the negative comments some have been making, some people are never happy unless they're moaning.

Jarmo just want to say thank you for keeping me in the loop so well over the years, this site is a credit to you. Anyway on topic,

Fern Cotton played CD today on Radio One, was around lunch time so plenty will of heard it.

this song is really taking off!  my friends all called me to say they heard it on the radio!!!  this is the moment we've been waiting for!

so when does the actual 'single' come out?  like so you can buy it and it has a video and everything.  that's how we know it's really a real single right?  and those are the things that help it climb the charts and take over teh world.

Anyone here hear it played in the Midwest or on the LOOP - Chicago's rock station? I have been waiting since it has been released and played by other radio stations and I haven't even heard it mentioned. I spend a lot of time in my car commuting to work so I listen to the radio a fair amount unless I am just missing it? Is it being played in New York and LA? Sorry I haven't read the whole thread. I see some east coast and such but just seeing if I need to light a fire under someone's ass! 

[Steve McKagan]

I keep checking if the Swedes play it and today it was on just before noon.

So far they've been playing the song once every day.

Not bad at all for a non-rock station.

Which channel? P3?

Yeah. Once a day on P3.

More than once per day on their rock oriented online station P3 Rockster.

Even though we don't have any good station here in Finland, CD has been played occasionally on Radio Rock. Many people have called the station and given the song thumbs up! Some guy called in and said that if people like this, they will love Better and Madagascar (based on the live versions). The same station played the whole UYI I album two days ago.. II and AFD are coming too.

this is what i posted the other day. In the UK (its my understanding) it is only a song that peole buy that can chart as a single.

I may be wrong though. It seems weird that something that no one actually paid for can chart.

my bro said Chris Moyles played it today on Radio 1

Yeah he did, at half 8. Awesome exposure cos everyone would have been stuck in traffic listening! Chris Moyles said, "That's my first listen and....it's actually ok........think i'll need to listen to it some more though".

We should have published numbers tomorrow or Tuesday from Media Base. Media Base is based off radio station plays only! As you can see, Chinese has the potential to go #1 on both Rock Charts. For Guns to have such a impact on the charts in just a short time is very positive. If you live in the US and are in a large market, keep requesting the song!!

[axl2]

Lets get it up to 1.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Thanks as always mega_music, I love seeing your updates.

I heard CD on the radio Friday night/Saturday morning, I am so glad that they don't cut out the intro.

Keep requesting the song folks!

[Chief]

I've heard it used as an intro song on 95.5 klos in LA, that was very cool!

[jaknudsen]

Norway's largest music oriented radio (P3) has put CD on their B-list: http://www2.nrk.no/spillelister40/sending.aspx?prog=667&tid=2008-10-30%2000:00:00Z
