Admin Hero1 Posted April 8, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 have you been listening to the radio and havent heard switch? now its time to take action step 1: ring up your local radio station step 2: ask them why you havent heard switch on their station. Inform them that switch is currently #14 on the Billboard Singles Charts. step 3: Tell them that you and your friends really like the song and you'd like to hear it more step 4: come back here and tell us their response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bagotrasho Posted April 8, 2005 Members Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 (edited) i went to my friends house and called the local radio station (dont no the name) in their exact words "Because frankly people don't want to hear Will Smith. He needs to stop with the softcore rap or go back to movies." Me: Who exactly do fans want to hear? SOME F*CKER FROM THE RADIO: They want to hear some real rappers like 50 cent and the game. Me: But Will is way better. SFFTR: Not according to fans. Me: I am a fan (Hung Up) EXACT WORDS Edited April 9, 2005 by bagotrasho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerkot Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I called the biggest radio station in Sweden.. "Hey, may I wonder why you dont play Will Smiths latest hit Switch?" "Switch?" "Yeah, you must know of it...?" "Nah... is it new?" "Released in february" "Well okey umm... i'll tell the DJ to play it once around noon right, are you happy then?" "Sure" Always somethin, im a little mad about how little he knew, but im a little happy that he wanted to do something for one of his listeners.

Jazzy Julie Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 i emailed a couple of radio stations, i dont know if they played it or not but it was just b4 switch entered the charts and i said "why arnt u playing switch, that song is gonna be in the top ten on sunday", and magically it was. i do know that radio 1 is now playing it, my workmate was telling me how much she loved switch and that she had heard it on the radio. So i asked which station and she said it was radio 1, this is a good thing coz its probably the biggest radio station in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I emailed Hot 97(which is the empire of hip-hop radio stations in the tri-state area) just now asking them to play "Switch", I doubt them fools will even reply back, I'm just gonna check their website once in a while and see if they put it on their playlist, it ain't on there yet, but it seems half of 50's album is on their top 30 list. :toetap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny 5 Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I emailed about 40 dj's from three different radio stations about a month and a half ago... 2 of the 3 statios now have the song on their playlist and I'm not sure about the other one (can't access their playlist) yeah, it's defo a good idea! :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic1988 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 (edited) I know this sounds kinda corney but someone find out if you can get switch to play on radio disney!! I knwo it is disney but they are all over the USA that will really help!! and due to the nickoledon's (I dobut I spelled that right) kids awards. we need the kids to know about what's up and have the kids ask their parents for the album. p.s. also go here http://www.airamericaradio.com/shows/morni...ion/contact.asp and send an e-mail asking for the will smith songs to be played!!! probally ms. holy roller because the radio is left-wing and the don't like the religious right wing so the part where will talks about having tolerance for the different religions could probally be played!!! just select the issue as general comments!!

Angel Amor Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I finally heard Switch on the radio today. I heard on Mix 96.1. It was #3 on their playlist or countdown. I been calling that radio like for ever but never got an answer. I guess I wasn't the only 1 who wanted to hear Switch. I tried to get 98.5 the Beat to play Switch but they refused cause it's pop. I said Well maybe u should change your station motto from 98.5 the Beat #1 place for Hip/Hop&RnB. Cause for damn sure that ain't true. Will was is not pop he's hiphop. He didn't cross from hiphop to pop the line cross him. O well Life is too short to be sad. I'm just glad I finally heard Switch play on the radio.

Members bagotrasho Posted April 20, 2005 Members Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I still haven't heard this on the radio or seen the video on TV for that matter unless Will was there promoting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
