I never knew
A report in today’s Sunday Independent about Irish artists being played on the radio says:
Critics believe that lack of airplay is the reason why albums by Dolores O’Riordan and Andrea Corr bombed.
Ahh, and here’s me thinking it was because they were shit.

Sorry Twenty, but you’re both wrong. It’s actually because nobody bought them.
I used to work in a record shop, so I should know.

Ah, but there is a good side. Rice only 29 times?
Would that NIs SNOW PATROL — world’s most over-played band — was down to 29 times, and moving lower.
“The top 10 tunes currently enjoying heaviest rotation are all by international stars, such as Mika and Enrique Iglesias. Fergie’s single Big Boys Don’t Cry was played 541 times last week, while Damien Rice’s Dogs was aired only 29 times in total.”

Must have been bad when even their own record company wouldn’t buy them.

So cos some twat released an album and because they are famous and have had success in the past it should have sold well? maybe it was Global warming or that Ms Corr failed to get her tits out for the lads.Stop playing the Irish sympathy card and bring out better songs I say.

Ahhh, Dolores Cranberry bombing in the charts. Sweet joy. No doubt she can add a paragraph about it for her annual “Life was just hell touring” whine fest in the irish independant Saturday magazine……There’s been at least three identical ones published so far.
It must be tough alright being so minted and yet such a frikkin’ misery guts. Maybe she should bond with Brian Wilson.
