If there's something I can change about the format of radio airplay, I would....
1. Include religious alternative songs (e.g Hillsong United, Delirous?)
2. Inject the metalcore and hardcore dosage (Christian metal included)
3. Denounce "poser" music
4. Play a wide range of songs (a minimum amount of songs that are excluded out of the charts)
To me, there's no such thing like radio-friendly. Music is music. It is a wide range of varieties for you to choose from and it's either you hate it or love it.
Every song can be a hit. It's the passion that seals its fate. Are you not sick of hearing the same old songs getting played on radio regularly? Perhaps it's time to be exposed to other artistes, and not wait till they top the charts then the stations start playing it. Maybe we need a revolution, like how Nirvana did with Smells Like Teen Spirit. Can any other band right now emulate the success they had during the early 90s? It all depends. Lyrics wise, I can see young and hard-rocking bands these days writing about the positive effects of life, whereas the others just rant on life, sex and drugs. This can be rather contradicting, but just keep it on neutral mode. Negative lyrics is not a sign of promotion but rather a sign of warning. A piece of my mind, for this is not over.
