bu. Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) If you didn't read the Roger article, it's here - http://www.showbiz411.com/2015/07/13/janet-jackson-no-sleeep-no-sales-little-airplay-same-struggle-as-mariah-other-older-singers/comment-page-1 BMG replied:http://www.eurweb.com/2015/07/bmg-radio-not-sleeeping-on-janets-new-single-charts-prove-it/BMG: Radio Not ‘Sleeeping’ on Janet’s New Single; Charts Prove it *Recently EUR ran a story quoting entertainment columnist Roger Friedman on the status of Janet Jackson’s new single “No Sleeep.” There are claims in Friedman’s article that the song hasn’t been receiving much love from radio stations. A representative of BMG Rights Management reached out to EURweb to set the record straight with facts in regards to key points in Friedman’s article. The BMG rep (who spoke on condition of anonymity) simply wants BMG’s side of the story to be heard. “No Sleeep” is not keeping anyone awake but a few urban stations. The single hasn’t crossed over into pop, and hasn’t caught fire at R&B stations. This may be because it’s extremely quiet for a summer song, and doesn’t have much of a hook. It’s just sort of a riff.” – Roger Friedman According to the BMG Rep, Janet’s single is still climbing. “Sixty-five out of the possible 69 stations on the Urban AC media based panel have already added the record [No Sleeep],” the rep saysIf that statement holds true, the new single is in rotation at more the 95 percent of radio stations. “She is currently #6 on the chart in third week of release as of today on published media-base panel for the Urban AC,” adds the BMG rep. “As far as Urban Mainstream, in her third week she charted #35 on the official chart.” This information is from the same source that Friedman referenced. We’ve checked the charts and, well, just take a look for yourself below. image: http://www.eurweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/media-base-screenshot-for-janet-story.jpg Let us continue. “The stations that are playing it are all in B markets. So far, “No Sleeep” has had little luck in New York or Los Angeles, where singles are broken.” – Roger Friedman The BMG Rep states that on “LA’s KJLH it was the number one most spun record last week and remains in the top three.” As far as New York is concerned on “WBLS it’s number 11” and “moving up the chart.” The BMG Rep even mentioned other majors cities including WDAS in Philly and VAZ in Chicago where BMG Rep says the single is in the top 10 and #6 respectively. On iTunes, “No Sleeep” hasn’t cracked the top 150 singles. It is ranked at #70 for top pop songs of 2015 overall.” – Roger Friedman “The single has sold six thousand units in two weeks. Those are the fact,” The BMG Rep states sticking strictly to facts and nothing else. The Rep also mentioned its debut at #9 on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart and #6 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs chart. The BMG Rep wants to make clear that the company doesn’t want the truth to get lost in a story. According to the rep, the song is doing well and meeting its goal on the Urban AC charts as that is priority for this particular single in this day and age. “The metrics are what they are. At this format in 2015 an R&B record could be Top 10 in two weeks and nearing #5 after three [weeks], that’s positive.” The BMG Rep is in no way a spokesman for Janet Jackson or her record label Rhythm Nation. BMG Rights Management is in collaboration with Janet Jackson and Rhythm Nation to distribute her new CD.Read more at http://www.eurweb.com/2015/07/bmg-radio-not-sleeeping-on-janets-new-single-charts-prove-it/#TKMJOJSEuX06MxLf.99 ====================================================================== Like I've said before - anyone expecting Janet to have a #1 smash needs their head banging against the wall. The critics LOVE the song, the fans LOVE the song - the acclaim > the success. Any success the song has is a nice bonus and the sogn has been successful. It's charted nicely, sold respectfully and has helped her sell tickets, even selling out some of her shows. Janet is WINNING.

Bailey Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 okay well let's drag Roger Friedman with his own words....the article below was written by Friedman before details of how Janet would distribute her album and tourJanet Jackson’s new album. We think it’s called “Conversations in a Cafe.” We know it’s produced by Jimmy Jam Harris and Terry Lewis of FlyteTime, her long time musical collaborators. We also know it’s NOT with L.A. Reid at Epic, or at Atlantic Records. It’s probably not ready for July 10th, I’ve heard. It’s still being worked on.However: the word is that Janet may be making a 360 deal with LiveNation, a la Madonna or U2 or Nickelback. In that case, LiveNation would handle the tour and license “Conversations.” Janet’s tour is going to be key to the whole thing. I think it could be HUGE. She cooled off a few years ago, got married, took time off. People miss her. With the right music– no sex talk stuff, please, Janet– adult R&B, but the sexiness as part of the vibe– she can make a big comeback now. now is it me of did Janet NOT do exactly that? "No Sleeep" Is adult R&B and is doing well in the urban market, why Roger now mentions pop cross over is confusing since I cannot recall the last time a song deeply rooted in R&B did great at pop radio?http://www.showbiz411.com/2015/05/18/exclusive-janet-jackson-album-coming-has-had-talks-with-livenation-for-u2-like-deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell in the writing that he wanted it to flop so he could say "I told you so."He still tries to belittle the song, though, by saying "Only sold 91K" and "Number one on some chart called Adult R&B."Fuck this dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
